It shows a few valve gear ways of reversing a steam engine that they came up with over the years of steam power.
It has been updated from the Win 3 or DOS version if thais is the same steam guy.

A steam airplane is a type of aircraft that uses steam as its primary source of propulsion instead of traditional jet engines. It was first developed in the 1930s and saw limited use during World War II.
A steam airplane works by heating water in a boiler, which produces steam. The steam is then directed into a turbine, which powers the propeller and allows the airplane to fly. The steam is also used to power the controls and other systems on the airplane.
One of the main advantages of a steam airplane is its low operating costs. Since steam is a readily available and cheap source of energy, it can be more cost-effective than traditional jet fuel. Steam airplanes also have a slower cruising speed, making them ideal for shorter distance flights.
One major disadvantage of a steam airplane is its limited speed and range. Steam is not as efficient as jet fuel, so steam airplanes cannot travel as fast or as far as traditional jet-powered aircraft. Additionally, steam airplanes require a longer runway for takeoff and landing, making them less practical for use in certain locations.
No, steam airplanes are not used in commercial aviation today. They were largely replaced by jet-powered aircraft in the mid-20th century due to their limited speed and range. However, there are still a few steam airplanes in existence and some are used for recreational purposes.
