Engine Modifications

SuperCruise Engines
  SuperCruise Engines are advanced versions of standard engines. They normally allow a fighter plane to cruise at supersonic speeds without using afterburner. Signature reduction is not changed, but Economy is x 10 the normal economy, rather than x 20 the economy liter per km. These also can be added with Thrust Vectoring, as it is not a part of TVC systems, no matter what dimensions are used.

  Thrust Vectoring Engines
  A new innovation in aerospace technology since the pioneer was the Pegasus Engine on the Harrier, the thrust vectoring engine application. TVC is more "inline", with the engine being standard, and having moving parts that direct the flow of the exhaust. Currently there are only two dimensional and three dimensional. Two dimensional is an old design, dating back to the F-22 Raptor and Su-37 Super Flanker, whilst three-dimensional vectoring is only used on the X-31 technology demonstrator. Weights do not change, nor load.
  Two-dimensional Thrust Vectoring.
