The Mk2 Liquid Fuel Fuselage Short is a Mk2 fuselage containing only liquid fuel.
It is half the length and carries half the fuel as the Mk2 Liquid Fuel Fuselage; it carries the same amount of fuel as the 1.25m Mk1 Liquid Fuel Fuselage. The similar Mk2 Rocket Fuel Fuselage Short carries the same amount of propellant, but split between both liquid fuel and oxidizer.

Usage
The Mk2 Liquid Fuel Fuselage Short is a rocket fuel tank containing liquid fuel and oxidizer. It can be used to power jet engines, like the J-X4 "Whiplash" Turbo Ramjet Engine. Due to its shape, it fits well on aircraft, and serves as an attachment point for wings, fins, and landing gear. It can be placed both in-line and radially mounted.
Like all Mk2 parts, it is slightly taller than a 1.25m, Mk1 part, while having about the same width as a 2.5m part. This wide shape allows it to act as a lifting surface, like a wing. However, it only carries the same volume of propellant as an equally long Mk1 part; the model shows that the inside is actually a Mk1 tank surrounded by the Mk2 shell. The dry mass of the Mk2 Liquid Fuel Fuselage Short is 16% higher than a Mk1 Liquid Fuel Fuselage, which contains the same amount of fuel.
Additionally, like all Mk2 parts, the Mk2 Liquid Fuel Fuselage Short has a higher heat tolerance of 2500K to assist in spaceplane reentry.
A pair of adjacent Mk2 parts rotated so that their flat faces are tangent make a smooth fuselage for larger aircraft.
Trivia
- The Mk2 Liquid Fuel Fuselage Short originated in the Spaceplane Plus mod, which was integrated into KSP 0.25.
- Oddly, two Mk2 Liquid Fuel Fuselage Short parts are slightly heavier than a Mk2 Liquid Fuel Fuselage, despite having the same fuel capacity and size.
