It is a tough ask I believe, 'cos we're not ready to give up the "comforts" of modern life.

They discuss why turbines are more efficient at higher speeds so don't really suit autos but using the turbine to run an alternator is very doable.
My advice is: not to follow my advice.

Don't worry Dom, the last thing Gen Y will relinquish are the comforts of modern life. All will be good.

I believe it took less than fifty years. Probably the commercial air crafts that look like modern jet turbine engine driven ones took few more years, but the speed it advanced was on par with personal computer technology.
