-A [[propeller]] in the Aerofly FS 2 is usually connected to a [[rigidbody]] object. That ''Body'' is then rotated around a [[jointmulti]] by a drive shaft [[jointtorque|torque connection]]. So in short: the engine acts a torque upon the driveshaft which turns the propeller that then creates thrust based on its rotation speed, pitch and airfoil.+A [[propeller]] in the Aerofly FS 2 is usually connected to a [[rigidbody]] object.

The ''rocketengine'' class is still recognized but currently broken (as of today, 23rd of Jan. 2017). It might be re-added later, please contact us if you need this type of propulsion for your project.
