jet engine efficiency

146k Feanor  8.8 years ago

BFE120: 150000 power and fuel consumption of 4.
Blasto J15: 15000 power and fuel consumption of 0.4
Blasto J50: 50000 power and fuel consumption of 1.5
Blasto J90: 90000 power and fuel consumption of 2.1
Blasto VTOL 60000 power and fuel consumption of 1.75
Thus, the Blasto J90 is the most efficient jet engine.

    UPD:
    Thrust in newtons.
    Fuel consuption is in liters per second, and is a multiple of 3.785, in this list it's rounded to integer or to tenth.
    UPD2, 28/11/2021:
    no, fuel consumption isn't rounded and is used as-is.
    the most effective jet engine for now is BFE300, it it can produce 66.666 kN per liter per second.

    What is the "power" in tnis list?
    Is it power in whatts?
    Or is it thrust in newtons, kgs, or something else?
    Also, is fuel consumption calculated in gallons or liters?

    Could you also do the BFE300 as well?

    Nice. In the order of power/fuel ratio:
    - Blasto J90: power=90000, fuel=2.1, power/fuel=42857
    - BFE120: power=150000, fuel=4, power/fuel=37500
    - Blasto J15: power=15000, fuel=0.4, power/fuel=37500
    - Blasto VTOL: power=60000, fuel=1.75, power/fuel=34286
    - Blasto J50: power=50000, fuel=1.5, power/fuel=33333

    They are inferno air to surface missiles. 15000 forward thrust. Burns for 30 seconds(?)
    also...
