The sound produced by the Hawk engine
The Hawk Engine is a high-thrust low-efficiency engine typically used in the first stage of a rocket. It is the first stage counterpart to the Valiant Engine, and the smaller version of the Titan Engine.
The engine most likely represents a kerolox fuel engine, which uses variants of kerosine like RP-1 alongside liquid oxygen to produce thrust. This is most readily apparent from the opaque orange hue of its plume.
History[]
Previously named RB-48 Liquid Fuel Engine, the Hawk Engine was the one of the first two engines introduced in Spaceflight Simulator, the other being the Valiant Engine.
Trivia[]
- The engine is likely based off of the real life SpaceX Merlin 1D or the Aerojet Rocketdyne RS-25 SSME engine.
