Real Engines Concept Art (Russia/USSR)

[8BitCosmonaut]

I know it has been a while since I have uploaded quality content (shameless self-praise there), and I have been and will be very busy the next few months due to college projects. So I'll just give you what I have for now.

This is the concept art for Real Engines (Russia/USSR), designed for SFS' future Real Solar System mod. Enjoy.
(There's still some more stuff to upload, so check the comments for more info, there is also a small link to how the engine will look when fitted onto a fuel tank, and attention to detail is my number 1 priority!)

More amazing work! I haven’t seen anyone make such good SFS engine art!

The smaller it is the uglier it gets, since the small space restricts the amount of detail I can add.

Yeah that’s one problem SFS has. Like don’t get me wrong, I love the way SFS looks. But it’s just a bit limiting

I am talking about MS Paint

 

[InSight]

Wow! I love how there are overthrottles and minimum throttles for a more realistic approach!

7) RD-107 (Soyuz main engine, forgot to upload)

Performance:
Thrust (vacuum): 1000 kN
Thrust (SL): 810 kN
Throttle range: Cannot Throttle
TWR: 69.39 ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Isp (vacuum): 313 seconds
Isp (SL): 256 seconds

[8BitCosmonaut]

@TtTOtW Could you change the size dimension for the RD-0110 engine from 5x8 to 3x4 and the NK-33 dimensions from 8x4 to 7x4? Thanks!

 

[TtTOtW]

Done.

 

[Lt. Snakestrike]

Are you gonna do an RD-180 too?

 

[8BitCosmonaut]

Are you gonna do an RD-180 too?

Everything, except for the ones that are classified to the point I have no idea what the hell they look like.

 

[8BitCosmonaut]

Next in line is the RD-58, RD-180 and the RD-191.

 

[Earl]

Which engine can throttle the lowest?

 

[Chara-cter]

*heavy slavic breathing*
Nice concept

Danny Batten Could you correct the RD-107/8's Throttle range to Cannot Throttle?

 

[8BitCosmonaut]

Which engine can throttle the lowest?

Depends on what you want. For large launch vehicle engines, the RD-180 is most well known to have a throttle range of 47-100% similar to the SSME. Tiny engines like the Soviet RD-858 used on their ill-fated LK lander has a throttle range of 41-100%.

Update on the RD-58 engine:

Makes me want to recreate the failed neon light and electrocute myself. Fuck me, the details are a pain in the ass.

Are you gonna do an RD-180 too?

Your request is next.
