Intake air fuel tanks

[Claas2008]

Pls make fuel tanks with intake air in the game so that i can go on full speed immediately with my planes, and with that liquid fuel engines will also work in space

It's... Intake air. Air coming from atmosphere through the intake to the engine. That's how jets work.

That's not how jets work.

Even if you had them, the reason why they don't go full power immediately is because the compression stage has to reach the proper RPM. At least IRL, in KSP this is just emulated by a spool time.

My suggestion? Just engage your brakes on the runway for the few seconds it takes to spool and then let it rip.

Also, the air fuel ratio required by a jet engine is about 50:1 so you'd need some pretty big compressed air tanks to do what you're talking about. And with all that air, it'd probably be more efficient to build a blimp.

Although....a blimp full of air really wouldn't get very far...

Then give it moar boosters

Then remove the heavy and useless blimp and replace with more rocket fuel for max efficiency.

Oops, we just built a proper rocket it seems.

And liquid fuel engine that works in space?

the N.E.R.V. Is a nuclear engine that is used in space and only consumes liquid fuel.

To be fair though, it doesn't burn the fuel. It just uses the heat of the reactor core to expand it, but if you want a "hybrid" NTR there's a fantastic mod chock full of them either way xD

You're proposing a fuel tank that stores air...

which contains oxygen to use as an oxidizer...

and which will combust with liquid fuel in an engine...

I believe that already exists in the game. In fact there are tanks that can combine both resources in one!
