1. A system for increasing thrust and fuel efficiency and reducing thermal signature of a jet engine, comprising: an exhaust gas heat attenuator; a first reservoir containing therein a heat reduction material comprising liquid nitrogen, liquid carbon dioxide or liquid argon as a non-flammable cryogenic liquid, wherein the first reservoir is operatively associated and in fluid communication with the exhaust gas heat attenuator; a first set of one or more injection ports configured and dimensioned to introduce the non-flammable cryogenic liquid from the first reservoir into the exhaust gas heat attenuator; and a second reservoir containing combustion enhancing material comprising hydrogen peroxide, ozone, or nitrous oxide as an oxygen supplying liquid, wherein the second reservoir is separate from the first reservoir and is operatively associated and in fluid communication with the exhaust gas heat attenuator; a second set of one or more injection ports configured and dimensioned to introduce the combustion enhancing material into exhaust gases in the exhaust gas heat attenuator from the second reservoir; and a controller that controls the introduction of the non-flammable cryogenic liquid from the first reservoir and the combustion enhancing material from the second reservoir to the exhaust gas heat attenuator, wherein the controller can initiate release of either the non-flammable cryogenic liquid, the combustion enhancing material, or both into the exhaust gas heat attenuator; wherein the first set of one or more injection ports is located downstream of the second set of one or more injection ports so that the introduced non-flammable cryogenic material cools and increases a density of the exhaust gases to reduce jet engine heat and noise levels. 2. The system of claim 1, wherein the exhaust gas heat attenuator is a separate unit and further comprises: an adapter section suitably sized and dimensioned for attachment to a tailpipe of the jet engine;an inner casing suitably sized and dimensioned for containing the exhaust gases from the jet engine, wherein the inner casing is attached to the adapter section at a first end and has an opening to allow the exhaust gases to exit the inner casing to atmosphere. 3. The system of claim 2, wherein the heat attenuator further comprises an outer casing attached to the inner casing, wherein the outer casing is suitably sized and dimensioned to fit around the inner casing to form a gap between the inner and outer casing that shields the inner casing from an external environment. 4. The system of claim 3, wherein the outer casing is attached to the first end of the inner casing by a tapered section. 5. The system of claim 1, wherein the system further comprises: a first distribution manifold, wherein the first distribution manifold is connected to and in fluid communication with the first reservoir at a first end and the first set of one or more injection ports and the exhaust gas heat attenuator at a second end; and a second distribution manifold, wherein the second distribution manifold is connected to and in fluid communication with the second reservoir at a first end and the second set of one or more injection ports and the exhaust gas heat attenuator at a second end. 6. The system of claim 5, which further comprises a third distribution manifold, wherein the third distribution manifold is connected to and in fluid communication with the reservoir at a first end and the exhaust gas heat attenuator at a second end. 7. The system of claim 6, wherein the controller initiates introduction of the non-flammable cryogenic liquid to the exhaust gas heat attenuator through the first manifold and the third manifold without the introduction of the combustion-enhancing material to the exhaust gas heat attenuator to maximize amount of heat reduction. 8. The system of claim 1, wherein the controller initiates introduction of the non-flammable cryogenic liquid simultaneously with introduction of the combustion-enhancing material to the exhaust gas heat attenuator when the controller recognizes a triggering event. 9. The apparatus of claim 8, wherein the triggering event is take-off, activation of full throttle, or evasive maneuvers. 10. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein the non-flammable cryogenic liquid in the first reservoir is liquid nitrogen and the combustion-enhancing material in the second reservoir is hydrogen peroxide. 11. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the controller controls the release of the non-flammable cryogenic liquid independently from the release of combustion-enhancing material. 12. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the controller controls the release of the non-flammable cryogenic liquid and combustion-enhancing material simultaneously. 13. The system of claim 1, further comprising: a first set of automated valves operatively associated with and in fluid communication with the first set of one or more injection ports, wherein the automated valves are in electrical communication with the controller to receive an electronic signal to introduce the non-flammable cryogenic liquid into the exhaust gas heat attenuator; and a second set of automated valves operatively associated with and in fluid communication with the second set of one or more injection ports, wherein the automated valves are in electrical communication with the controller to receive an electronic signal to introduce the combustion enhancing material into the exhaust gas heat attenuator; wherein the controller can activate and deactivate the first set of automated valves and the second set of automated valves independently. 14. The system of claim 13, further comprising: an outer shell comprising a shell wall, wherein the outer shell is positioned around the exhaust gas heat attenuator and separated a distance from the exhaust gas heat attenuator to create an air baffle that insulates the exhaust gas heat attenuator from the shell so that the shell wall is at a lower temperature than the exhaust gas heat attenuator. 15. The system of claim 13, further comprising: a third set of one or more injections ports arranged around the outlet of the exhaust gas heat attenuator, wherein the third set of one or more injection ports are configured and dimensioned to introduce the non-flammable cryogenic liquid into the exhaust gas heat attenuator, and wherein the third set of one or more injection ports is located even with or downstream of the second set of one or more injection ports; and a third set of automated valves operatively associated with and in fluid communication with the third set of one or more injection ports, wherein the third set of automated valves are in electrical communication with the controller to receive an electronic signal to introduce the non-flammable cryogenic liquid into the exhaust gas heat attenuator, and wherein the second set of one or more injection ports and the third set of one or more injection ports can be activated at approximately the same time so the introduction of the non-flammable cryogenic liquid into the exhaust gases compensates for a temperature increase caused by the introduction of the combustion enhancing material. 16. The system of claim 15, further comprising: nozzles attached to the first set of one or more injection ports, and/or the second set of one or more injection ports, and/or the third set of one or more injection ports, wherein the nozzles generate a particular spray pattern.
