Looks like it's missing air intakes, jet engines need air!

They are under the "Aerodynamics" tab.

Hope that helps.

Thanks for your answer. That picture was only an example. This is my plane awanabipbap.jpg

 

It has air intakes but the engine still not working. There is a spark when I start the engine then nothing happens. Also the remaining fuel shows "0" after starting it.

@berkekrkn Hard to say from just a picture, any chance you could upload the .craft file?

My only suggestion off the top of my head is to check all the parts between the fuel and the engine for the "no fuel crossfeed" tag.

If any of them have that, than the fuel won't get to the engine.

KER can't calculate jet engine (or even RAPIER on closed cycle which is really annoying). It's something to do with the fact that jet engines pull fuel with a different logic compared to rocket engines. Rocket engines drain fuel using the familiar "furthest tank first" while jet engines do the "drain fuel equally across all tank".

That different logic confuses KER.

Various possibilities. No liquid fuel, of course. Liquid fuel not reaching the engine - I'm not sure anything can block fuel flow to a jet engine, but it's possible the tanks are locked. Not enough air, in which case try throttling back.

As of 1.0.5, jets do respect crossfeed, You need valid crossfeed, the only difference between jets and rockets is jets will check surface-attached parts as well as stack-attached parts (that behavior can be activated for rockets, too, by changing the setting in Physics.cfg).

Guys how can I send you my aircraft. I tried to solve it but still couldn't. When I connect any rocket engine with mk1 fuel fuselage. It works. I am getting DELTA V. But when I connect any jet engine even ( rapier) It won't work. The delta v page is blank

Find the appropriate .craft file in your saves directory and upload it somewhere, e.g. dropbox. Then post the link here.

This is a pretty odd issue, you got any mods (other than KER) installed? What does the right-click menu for the engine say? - it should tell you why it flamed out.

If you have trouble uploading the .craft file you can also just open it with notepad and copy paste the contents here.

Here's an example under the spoiler:
