The TurboJet Engine is an air-breathing engine which requires liquid fuel from fuel tanks and intake air. It is worth noting the intake air flows everywhere in whole craft so the placement of air intakes on the craft does not matter.
Usage
The TurboJet Engine can provide lots of thrust in high altitudes. At almost all altitudes it generates more thrust than the Basic Jet Engine, but it has a much lower specific impulse at most lower altitudes and is heavier by 0.2 tons.
It is extremely useful for SSTOs and demonstrated to be faster and more fuel efficient, partnered with Rockomax 48-7S rocket engines, than the hybrid aspirated rocket R.A.P.I.E.R. Engine.[1]

Trivia
The internal part's name is turboFanEngine which is another kind of jet engine. In real life, a turbojet engine's fan pulls all the air from the intake through a combustion chamber, as opposed to a turbofan in which some of the air sucked in bypasses the chamber and is shot out of the back without being burned at all. The turbojet is more efficient at high speeds and in thinner atmospheres, although turbofans are much quieter and are very efficient when moving slowly. This is why turbofans are almost exclusively fitted on commercial airliners, and turbojets are more common on supersonic planes.
