Real Engines Concept Art (Russia/USSR)

#26
Which engine can throttle the lowest?
Sorry, forgot about the RD-191, it can throttle all the way down to 27% and over throttle at 105%. I was playing KSP RO the other day and remembered I was using the RD-191 on my falcon 9 instead of the Merlin.

This engine is magic, it can throttle twice lower than a conventional Merlin, so I can assure myself by imagining the whole vehicle is experiencing less stress thanks to the longer deceleration profile and softer landing.

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!)
