Use
This engine consumes intake air and liquid fuel, to produce rotation. When you put a set of propellers on it, you can produce thrust. The engine alone doesn't produce thrust. Setting up the engine is tricky, and doesn't have control via throttle by default. It is recommended to set throttle for propeller pitch instead of rotation or torque. Note that the engine requires intake air, so it only works on Kerbin and Laythe, so electric motors are used instead.
