Talk:J-33 "Wheesley" Turbofan Engine
From Kerbal Space Program Wiki
Effective Ceiling
"This engine cannot function effectively at a height of much more than 5 km"
I built a simple vertical-takeoff SSTO that uses three Basic Jet Engines to reach a height of about 15 km before switching to a rocket engine. This is a marginal case, so I'm not sure it disproves the above sentence -- which may be referring to the engine's optimal operating height... But still, is 5km maybe not giving the Basic Jet Engine enough credit? ParryLost (talk) 14:14, 10 August 2014 (CDT)
