Mk3 Aerospike Engine

[nestor_d]

Currently working on updating my mod Mk3 Hypersonic Systems for the release of KSP 1.1. I'm doing some work on retexturing a lot of the parts to give them more detail and better match stock textures, and also adding brand-new parts. For now I'm working on this Mk3 size Aerospike engine. It's supposed to be a kind of what the T-1 is to the Swivel, but in this case to the Rhino. In that sense, it has somewhat similar performance, but geared toward spaceplanes rather than rockets. It has somewhat reduced thrust and better Isp, both in the atmosphere and in vacuum. Here's a little video of the progress so far, mainly a showcase of the effects

Looking nice!

Seems like an engine that size needs more Oomph coming out the back..
