Turbofan engines concept art (More will come!)

[8BitCosmonaut]

Here is the first concept art of a Turbofan engine.
Engine designation: CFM International CFM56
Class: Medium
Size: 9x22
Thrust: 82-150 kN
Mass: 2.3 tons
Fuel consumption: 14 g/kN/s

Am i correct in saying that it would be used if Stef was to add aeroplane parts?

These are real engines, stef will probably add parody versions of these engines rather than these from what I can tell. Assuming that he wants to add plane parts, I'm also not sure how planes will be built and work in a 2D environment though.

Awesome concept, but I think it is a bit too big, and mr. stef boi would need to add in new fuel, tail, flaps, wing, retractable gear, etc.
But i would seriously love to see it get added in.

That is why KSP has special airplane hangar building areas that are dedicated to compensate for gas turbine engines' massive sizes.

Maybe stef will add something similar?

I take it that you are not familiar with gas turbine engines.

Gas turbine engines are massive, especially turbofan engines. The reason for this is to house the large compressor section to compress the incoming air to boost the oxygen concentration to aid better combustion, rocket engines don't need this as they already have their own oxidizer, which makes them smaller and simpler while producing very large quantities of thrust, the major advantage in GTEs' over REs' is that they are far more efficient.

Good gracious good thing the mods have you in their SA

 

[PhantomGamingYT]

Yup, I really want that engine, I always struggle while building a Passenger jet.

What's SA

Solar alliance

Seems cool! But would they be useful at the moment or will we need a horizontal building area

Just build it on its side

Just some food for though, but if they decide to add it in, the concept will still be on the table here

Yeah I guess so

Next up: Pratt & Whitney JT8D

Those are pretty dated. What about IAE V2500, or P&W 306? CF34? RR AE3007?

I am adding according to popularity, not it's dated-ness. Those dated engines are still being improved and used today, so it's capability can still rival new engines.

Cancel that, working on something else.

I'm totally on board with the concept, just wondering about the application. The only airplane I knew of still using those old JT8s was the MD80 series. Most of them are MD90s now, with the V2500 HB turbofan. Way quieter, but larger. My point was more toward relevance and currency, nothing else sir. Looks pretty cool, BTW. That would be pretty handy to have.
