[0.15+]SCRAMjet Engine

[Vlad. Just Vlad.]

Finally, I did it! I made SCRAMjet Engine, which will bring your space plane to the upper atmosphere. Ignite it at the altitude about 15km and go ascent!

I worked on this project in 0.15, but it didn\'t work. But X-7/9 gave me idea that it can work, and I changed model and options.

Start work at the 15-20km and ignite your LFEs at 40-45km. Speed at the 40km altitude is about 2000 m/s.

Options is fully mine, so I hope that none of you will say that I stole the settings from X - 7/9.

How balanced is it, fuel wise?

[Vlad. Just Vlad.]

Yes, but there are a lot of ways how to get stability.

1. Attach it under the COG.

2. Fuel balance.

3. Attach this engines in pairs - one above, one below.

[fowlplaychiken]

What I mean is, does it consume fuel realistcally or is it 'overpowered'?

[Vlad. Just Vlad.]

Hm... I can\'t say realistic is it or no, but it has 150 thrust and 0.7 consumption. I can\'t say that it\'s overpowered.

This looks great and Ill have to dl it and try it now. Good job and im glad I could inspire you as you did me ;D

This engine should have fuel consumption like a jet engine, maybe little more in the atmosphere, and like rocket engine in the space.

[Vlad. Just Vlad.]

SCRAMjet don\'t work in space. It works on the high altitudes, but in atmosphere.

[crosshunter]

SCRAMjet don\'t work in space. It works on the high altitudes, but in atmosphere.

Oh sorry, but idea was the same: the higher in the atmosphere it gets - more fuel it should use)

[Vlad. Just Vlad.]

The higher atmosphere it gets - fewer efficiency it has. Lower thrust but the same consumption.
