But there's no physics which can remove heat from a thermal engine, other than shifting the heat to the outside.

(Science fiction books would use "heat sinks" in their war space ships to try to hide the heat for a short while, but would eventually have to dump the heat somewhere. As heat sinks are basically just a huge mass.. not an option for airplanes.)
