@MarioG yes but the pressure of the expanding gasses would force the water out of the nozzle. this technique is used in real life specifically to reduce shockwaves
@KingJoe2003 if your on steam, right click on SR2 and get to properties, then go to where it says "betas" and click on that, scroll through to get the beta.
I THINK THATS HOW IT WORKS
@MarioG well actually if you look at a diagram of Sea Dragon there is a bell cap secured to the end of the engine to provide buoyancy during transport and ballast during the launch, it could also be to keep the water out.
is it just me, or would a linear aerospike engine be awesome? having sliders in the designer so you can change/decide the number of combustion cells to add more thrust without changing the inlet choke or the nozzle length? with the drawback of only being able to gimble on one axis, plus maybe add hypergolic fuels that have a very fast ignition with fuel costs being lower, with the cost of having heavier fuel tanks to contain the corrosive behavior of these fuels
this actually making me cry, you guys are amazing. never stop.

+1 5.1 years agoone thing that really annoys me is something really simple. WHY DO ENGINES NOT WORK UNDERWATER??? The oxidizer and fuel
+1 5.1 years agois already there!
@danthecoloradan thx
+1 5.1 years agoim not crying you're crying
2.1 years agojust updated to 6.99
2.6 years agothank you!

5.1 years agoIs the update out yet? sorry I’m just very confuzed I tried doing a manual update on steam but nothing changed
