| − | The '''LV-T30 Liquid Fuel Engine''' is used to provide thrust to a rocket and is fueled by [[FL-T500 Fuel Tank (Demo)|FL-T500 Fuel Tanks]].

| − | == Usage ==
| |
| − | The LV-T30 is the first and currently most powerful [[Liquid Fuel]] engine with controllable throttle. This makes it very useful for precise, controlled maneuvers and conserving fuel. They are not placeable on [[TT-38K Radial Decoupler|Radial Decouplers]] and are typically reserved as a main engine after liftoff. The LV-T30 must be directly below a non-empty [[FL-T500 Fuel Tank (Demo)|FL-T500 Fuel Tank]] to produce any thrust.
| |
| − | Even after introduction of the gimballing [[LV-T45 Liquid Fuel Engine (Demo)|LV-T45 Liquid Fuel Engine]], more powerful LV-T30 remained the best solution for the parts where power is more important than controlability, like the first liquid stage (however, in this case winglets or gimballing engines of a parallel stage are necessary for controlling the rocket)

| |
| − | |Although criticized by some due to it's not unsignificant use of so-called "pieces found lying about", the LV-T series has proven itself as a comparatively reliable engine. The T30 model boasts a failure ratio below the 50% mark. This has been considered a major improvement over previous models by engineers and LV-T enthusiasts.
