Engine efficiency- regarding C7 flight pack

How do the C7 Aerospace engines efficiency compare to Jebediah\'s parts.

I want a list of all the engines. I am asking this because I found the parts of the pack, but on version 2.15 of the pack, the engines have the same efficiency as a normal liquid fuel engine. For example, the C7AX-301 has a max thrust of 150 Newtons, and a fuel consumption of 6.0. But the LV-T30 Liquid Fuel Engine has a maximum thrust of 200 Newtons and a fuel consumption of 8.0. The C7AX-301 is described as an 'Air Turborocket', which is supposed to have a effectively higher specific impulse, but near useless in thin air. Is the stats in the sight wrong? Or is this an old version. If it is, then can someone post the stats of the engines in the C7 Flight Pack? Air breathing engines should have significantly higher efficiency than rockets.

0.15 effectively introduced the flight pack as stock parts. That made them only effective inside the atmosphere. Before they were essentially rocket engines.

has there performance changed, if I cant use them outside the atmosphere, then there has to be a benefit.

The ones in the atmosphere are just as strong as the rockets but use much less fuel. The fuselages also weigh less.

Great, so they are more efficient! That\'s What I want. Do you know where I can get accurate stats of the engines?

You can look at them in-game or in their config files to see their stats.

The efficiency variable that\'s displayed in the engine\'s right-click menu will tell you what percentage of possible thrust the engines are giving out.

No online references? well, that\'s okay. I only play the game on my teachers laptop during recess and lunch, hehehe.
