SkyCore 800 – High-Performance Low-Bypass Turbofan Engine
The SkyCore 800 is a next-generation low-bypass turbofan designed for advanced builders and regional aircraft applications. Engineered for high thrust, efficiency, and reliability, it delivers 175,000 N of tested thrust and provides a range of 5,500 km, making it twice as efficient as the SkyCore 500.
Key Features: • Gearbox & Hinge Rotator Design: Low-power / high-power hinge rotator with a geared box ensures smooth RPM transitions and reliable spool-ups/downs.
•   Fan Blades: Resigned Shimitsr fan blades maximize efficiency and airflow, optimized for both low and high-speed performance.
•   Low Bypass Configuration: Optimized for regional aircraft, balancing thrust and fuel economy while maintaining a compact design.
•   Compact & Slim Form Factor: Fits a wide variety of airframes for versatile installation.
•   Redesigned Exhaust System: Improves airflow and performance, contributing to consistent high-speed efficiency.
•   Reliability & Versatility: Built to perform consistently under various flight conditions, ensuring long-term durability and operational flexibility.
Note on Previous Recall:The SkyCore 800 was temporarily removed after an initial report of thrust flatlining. After investigation, it was determined that the engine performed correctly; the reported issue was due to the tester’s aircraft being unable to handle the thrust. This marks the second release of the SkyCore 800, now fully verified and optimized for reliable operation.The SkyCore 800 combines power, efficiency, and advanced engineering into a compact, reliable low-bypass turbofan suitable for builders seeking precision, performance, and versatility in their aircraft designs.

@GrowAGarden It originated from the first generation SkyCore 500 design philosophy that glass would be lighter but a while back a find out it wasn’t any lighter in game the reason it still exists is because this engine was built on the existing SkyCore 500 engine
why is it made out of glass
