Propulsion

In the Aerofly FS 2 there are a handful of different engines to propel an aircraft. There are engines that drive propellers through a driveshaft and there are jet-engines that directly create a thrust.

Jet-Stream-Engines

Jet stream engines compress air, mix it with fuel, burn it in a combustion chamber and accelerate the hot gases through turbine blades. There are numerous ways to create such an engine and each has their own characteristics. In the Aerofly FS 2 the following jet stream engines are implemented:

  • turbofan (high by-pass-ratio engine used for airliners like the A320, B747)
  • turbojet (low by-pass-ratio engine for jet trainers like the MB339)
  • jet_engine (afterburning turbojet engine used in flighter jets like the F15E or F18)
