Blasto BFE215 Afterburning Turbofan Engine

18.1k greasytortle  one month ago

I'm working on a new engine for a new fighter and figured it'd be worth sharing.

My challenge to you is to build an aircraft to showcase this engine. Build a successor or tag me in a build. To save the engine, grab the front of the engine (With green stripes) and drag into your sub-assemblies.

The nozzle is made from plenty of intake blocks and I've found that you don't need to add any intake to run the engine. With that said, You can build hollow fuselage blocks to make a visual intake to feed the engine. Go wild! Single engine? Twin engine? Eight engines!??

    Greetings. If these intakes are connected to the engine through a rotator/detacher/any other flexible/impermanent connection, then they don't affect that engine at all. Only the intakes that are rigidly and permanently connected to engine(directly or through blocks/fuselages) affect the said engine. I know because i built some thrust vectoring engines and multiple missiles that use ingame turbojets to imitate solid-fuel rocket engines.
