Features WEP

High speed fighter-interceptor aircraft. Especially good in close range combat at low altitude. The highly experimental AEM-1W powerplant is particularly interesing, as it is the first engine featuring a WEP (War Emergency Power) system. When the throttle is pushed above 90%, WEP kicks in and provides a surge in power through the use of a very rich fuel mixture. As a visual indicator of WEP being used, exhaust flames can be seen shooting out of the engine.

Pilot's notes
Use WEP sparingly, it consumes exponentially more fuel. Only activate it when absolutely necessary.
