Usage

The XM-G50 Radial Air Intake is an air intake for jet engines. It collects more oxygen at higher velocities, simulating more air passing through the intake as the craft velocity increases.

In-game Description

A must-have for air breathing engines, this intake duct will pull in outside air to run turbine engines on, as long as there is any outside air to begin with, of course. Warranty does not cover engine flame-outs or any objects, inanimate or otherwise, sucked in by the intake.
