Hinge Rotator Engine Petals Test (and other stuff)

Messing around with hinge rotators to create jet engine petals. Thing I learned is it could reduce part count for "part-efficient-aircraft" or something, making hinge rotator petals viable i think. Tho hinge rotators have more performance cost than fuselage parts, so I won't be using it in higher part builds. Also I messed around with engine sounds and afterburner exhausts. I think they look and sound pretty nice.

    I have a xml modified primary wing that changes dynamically in game based on IAS. This could potentially be useful for what you are doing here. I would just need to get spec dimensions for the sizing you need and what input it needs and I'll have to adjust the code a lil to fit the purpose. They currently adjust base thickness, sweep, tip offset, and length based on different speeds of IAS.

    Yo that's clever
    The engine looks way more detailed with LESS parts
    Amazing
