[1.0.2] Instell Inc. Experimental Engines

Recommended Posts

Hello everyone. This is my first mod. I noticed that scramjet engines don't get much love here, so I decided to make one. The engines have higher efficiency and thrust the higher and faster you go, but needs to be going at around 700-900 m/s at around 10Km to produce much thrust. They're lighter than a turbojet engine, but cost more. There's one that stacks like a normal engine, and another that is attached radially.

To-do list:

  • Balancing
  • Better textures?
  • hotrockets config
  • Emissives

Changelog:

0.02

Redid atmosphere and velocity curves.

0.03

Updated for 1.0.2 and added XE-202 radial scramjet

You might argue that the intake has to be an actual part of the engine itself, given what it does. The length, shape and configuration are part of the 'magic' of it. If any of them diverge even a little from a particular recipe, you've got a non-functional engine.

You do realize that the intake is integral to the nature of the SCRAMjet, right?

I do understand that scramjets are very linear in design but in this case I decided to sacrifice realism for fun. I plan on making a smaller, radial version of this engine that will be designed that way. I might add its own intake in the future, but for now I mostly want to get the engine working.
