SD-500

Skychaser Dynamics SD-500

A powerful, self-igniting ramjet equipped with a smaller integrated turbofan engine used to jumpstart the airflow through the engine.
To ignite the ramjet, activate the afterburner. The inlet will extend and the thrust output will dramatically increase.
It is in a conventional podded form factor, so it can be easily attached to any aircraft.


Specifications:

Type: Afterburning ramjet
Thrust: 20230lbf
Reverser: None
Afterburner: ca. 100000lbf (AG1)


Variants:

SD-500
SD-510 - extreme thrust/no fuel usage

If you want a custom variant of the engine with different specifications, feel free to tell me in the comments.
If you use the engine, it would be nice to at least mention it somewhere in the description.
