The J-90 "Goliath" Turbofan Engine is a large jet engine added with version 1.0.5 of Kerbal Space Program. It is based on the Rolls-Royce Trent 800 and the GE90 high bypass turbofan engines.

Usage

It is the only jet engine with large radial size, and built in air intake. This airliner engine's thrust and multiplier curve for velocity make this engine ideal for subsonic large Mk3 airplanes, but also limits its role this purpose.

Product description

The largest and highest thrust jet engine ever built. This engine works best at low cruising speeds and altitudes.
