0.625 m jet engines.

[Majorjim!]

Hi all,

Just thought I would run this past you fine people. I have wanted 0.625 m jet engines for ages. It would open up so many opportunities for smaller aircraft.

And seeing as we have teeny tiny rockets it makes sense.

What say you?

I can dig it.

[No one]

I agree, except I think they shouldn't just add .625m jets. Why don't we also have rockomax-sized jet engines?

LOL! Incidentally whats the largest jet available in RL?

Would love to have some small jet powered probes loaded on a Jool mission spacecraft to explore Laythe.

I know right? I have a million ideas for teeny tiny aircraft using these!

One of these anyone?

[Red Iron Crown]

Yes, please. I have often wanted an airbreathing engine but the 1.25m jets were too large/powerful.

General Electric GE-90, over 3m in diameter.

Also, where can I buy the jet-powered Batman-esque aircraft pictured above?

Kerbonov and BD both have a .625m jet engine IIRC.

And does the stock-version come with that pink Jeb?

Its a one off apparently. Custom made.

That's near perfect scale size for large KSP jets!

[astropapi1]

Me wants dis.

I do love me some small jets.

[chaos_forge]

I think that 0.625-meter is a perfect size for an electric-powered propeller. I would rather have one of those than a 0.625-meter jet.

The ions are good for this atm.

We really do need electric propellers for Jool/Laythe/Eve/Duna exploration. On Laythe it's possible to bring jet fuel, but for the others it's basically rovers or tons of rocket fuel.

And just to preempt: I know about firespitter, I'm saying it would be nice to have this stock.

Hmm, it would be nice to have the choice. I have nothing against props in the game. I still think there should be props for water.

Boats need love too.

[Kasuha]

I'm huge fan.

Of course it'd need also better selection of 0.625 m fuel tanks and some 0.625 m intake. And a reaction wheel.

[SiliconPyro]

Now that my VTOL engine is working nicely, I'm moving on to make some 0.625m parts and a jet engine is at the top of the list. Of course you can just rescale the Mk1 stuff, but I think they deserve their own, tiny style. That said, I'd love to see it stock.

Yup definitely! Imagine how cute the intakes will be.

[Frozen_Heart]

Me and andrew123 were discussing this idea yesterday. I'd love tiny jets as the current ones are huge!

[JDCollie]

With the inclusion of Spaceplane plus in the stock game, we'll at least be getting some tiny radial engines. Still, some 62.5cm inlines would be very welcome

LLL or SXT has one too. So does my KAP Pack 1. Blatant plug.

There are no engines in Spaceplane Plus.

Agreed! Apart from enabling additional peace(keeping) craft, It would enable a new era of micro drones. Imagine landing a micro payload on eve.

[johnqevil]

Tweakscale can rescale those down to 0.625. Along with just about anything else.

I give much yes to tiny jets and Rockomax size jets.
