SD-1500

Skychaser Dynamics SD-1500

A powerful, high-bypass turbofan to power the largest twinjets, or monstrous quadjets.
At the time of it's making, it is the most powerful unit of the SD line, with nearly twice as much thrust output as the SD-1000.
It sports a coldstream thrust reverser system, which is toggled by AG1 and throttling up. Not really recommended to engage in-flight.


Specifications:

Type: High-bypass turbofan
Thrust: 202320lbf
Reverser: Coldstream (AG1)
Afterburner: None


Variants:

SD-1500

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.

    @FastDan I see you've entered maximum overdrive mode. Thanks for that, I might hit the 25K sooner than I imagined!

    @RamboJutter well... the fan blades are from the default blasto engine, except I scaled it so it is squished, and the entire thrust reverser is just one additional fuselage and one piston. I was thinking about making everything custom, including the blades, but in my opinion that's not worth the trouble and nudging hell when I could do this :D

    @asteroidbook345 When I was working on this, I thought I'm already making a huge engine, but compared to the monster like the GE9X, it's still lagging behind, so an SD-2000 maybe? :D

    I'm amazed, how does that all add up to 39 parts? There looks to be at least 24 fan blades plus about the same in triangles to the rear.... magic I say.
