![]() Which makes this engine ideal for those missions which require doing many science activities above particular altitudes. ![]() Or it can supercruise at three times the speed of an equivalent Wheesley jet (with nearly equal fuel efficiency) at 15,000 m altitude. Be aware that heat buildup can gradually become a problem when the afterburners are used in sustained flight.Ī well-designed jet with this engine and with the afterburner lit, flown properly, can momentarily climb to 30,000 m altitude. This is particularly useful for pairs of engines, since this makes it possible to keep the thrust equal when activating the afterburners. You can do that by right-clicking the engine and clicking "Toggle Mode." Alternatively, you can assign the afterburner toggle (labelled "switch mode") to an action group if you wish to activate it with a hotkey. Note that you need to activate the afterburner ("Wet Mode") manually. ![]() Visualization of the thrust multiplier curves for atmospheric pressure It seems to be based on the General Electric F-404 Afterburning Turbofan, which shares the same name and maximum thrust (85 kN dry). This can make it a good alternative for when you want something that can be controllable and doesn't need excessive heat shielding, but still need to be able to go incredibly fast if necessary, at the expense of increased fuel consumption. The second, Wet mode, uses the afterburner to produce thrust almost equal to the J-X4 "Whiplash" Turbo Ramjet Engine, but at a considerably reduced fuel efficiency. ![]() It has two modes: The first, Dry mode, is similar to that of the J-33 "Wheesley" Basic Jet Engine, with a bit more thrust. The J-404 "Panther" Afterburning Turbofan is a jet engine added in version 1.0.5. ![]()
