Propelling Flying Machines with Steam Jet Thrusters

Mounting the Thrusters on an Aircraft

Steam Jet Thrusters provide high-thrust propulsion that allows you to construct mobile aircraft and flying machines.

1. Construct the chassis of your flying machine or aircraft using mechanical frame blocks and control components.

2. Mount a Steam Jet Thruster securely onto the rear or base of the airframe, orienting the nozzle outward in the direction opposite your intended flight path.

Supplying Compressed Steam to Thrusters

Steam Jet Thrusters cannot operate on raw water or unpressurized steam; they require a dedicated high-pressure steam line.

1. Install a Steam Boiler on or near your craft, supplying it with water and burning fuel to produce steam.

2. Route the steam through Pressurized Pipes and Steam Pumps into a Steam Compressor to build up high pressure.

3. Connect the pressurized output line from the Steam Compressor straight into the Steam Jet Thruster.

4. Once compressed steam enters the thruster, it discharges forcefully to push your aircraft or flying machine forward through the air.
