Usage

The J-20 "Juno" Basic Jet Engine is a simple air-breathing engine without many of the defining traits of the other jet engines. Its tiny (Mk0) size makes it useful for fuselage-mounted engines when used with the Mk0 Liquid Fuel Fuselage and the Small Circular Intake. Note that there are no aerodynamically-shaped command pods which share the same Mk0 size as the J-20, however many Probodobodyne Inc. cores have the same general diameter. This engine is not for impatient pilots, as its acceleration is minimal, especially on the bumpy level 1 runway in early career mode.

Product description

A small turbojet. Not very efficient, anemic thrust, but hey--it's cheap! And it's so cute...look at the little thing!

Trivia

The Juno may be named after the Junkers Jumo 004, one of the first jet engines.
