Usage
The R-11 'Baguette' External Tank is a liquid fuel tank containing LF/O mix. This allows it to power liquid fuel rocket engines, like the 48-7S "Spark" Liquid Fuel Engine. If there are multiple liquid fuel tanks connected to an engine, then they will all be drained equally to power it. [1] The Baguette must be radially mounted.
When full, one tank can power a single LV-1 "Ant" Liquid Fuel Engine for up to 419.0 seconds at full thrust, or a single 48-7S "Spark" Liquid Fuel Engine for up to 42.3 seconds at full thrust.
Although it is radially mounted, the Baguette appears 0.625m in diameter, equal to other tiny parts. By using the move tool in the editor, it is possible to move the tank so that it appears in-line with a tiny stack.
In career mode, the Baguette is unusually cost-effective, delivering around 2.5x as much fuel per funds as the 'Dumpling' and 'Doughnut' and 1.6x as much as the FL-T100. Only the large Rockomax Jumbo-64 and the extra-large Kerbodyne tanks have better fuel/cost ratios.
Variants
As of version 1.10 this fuel tank has two variants that can be switched in the editor.
Changes
- Added silver variant
- Initial release
- ↑ This assumes that the flow priority setting has not been adjusted.
