JATO (acronym for jet-assisted take-off), is a type of assisted take-off for helping overloaded aircraft into the air by providing additional thrust in the form of small rockets. The term JATO is used interchangeably with the (more specific) term RATO, for rocket-assisted take-off (or, in RAF parlance, RATOG for rocket-assisted take-off gear).
I made this after seeing the missile powerwed aircraft that people have been and decided to make an easy to use JATO/RATO unit that you can just strap onto your plane and use. Well here it is. Attach it to your plane with the pylon, and in the level press AG1 to use. Feel free to use this sub on your planes, just give me credit.
Thanks,
