FL-T400 燃料罐是在试玩版中唯一的[[液体燃料]]罐,也是唯一给LV系列液体燃料发动机提供燃料的途径。它提供了一个持续时间短,可以通过堆叠多个燃料罐来延长的推力。自0.13以来,它可以连接到纵向分离器和其他燃料箱的两侧。

不像[[RT-10 Solid Fuel Booster]],液体燃料引擎的推力量可由用户控制,并在[[Kerbin]]的大气内外拥有不同的剧烈程度. 你可以开满推力,不过在大气层里可能过热,或者在低轨道选择合适的推力,或用最小推力在高轨道上调整轨道。

The FL-T400 Fuel Tank provides fuel to liquid fuel engines, like the LV-T30, attached beneath it.

Usage

Since 0.13 it can be attached to radial decouplers and the sides of other fuel tanks.

With a fuel reserve of 400 liters, one tank can power a single LV-T30 engine for up to 25.36 seconds at full thrust.

Unlike the RT-10 "Hammer" Solid Fuel Booster, the amount of thrust can be dictated by the user, with varying severity in and out of the atmosphere of Kerbin. One can use full thrust, with a higher chance of overheat during atmospheric burning, and optimal thrust during low orbit, and minimal thrust for course corrections during high orbit.

Used correctly, an inordinate amount of fuel tanks are not necessary for orbit, as you cannot generate enough thrust in atmosphere with the liquid engine to make up for their weight.

Product description

The FL series was received as a substantial upgrade over previous fuel containers used in the Space Program, generally due to its ability to keep the fuel unexploded more often than not. Fuel tanks are useless if there isn't a Liquid Engine attached under it. They can also be stacked with other fuel tanks to increase the amount of fuel for the engine below.
