The Titan Engine is the largest and most powerful engine in Spaceflight Simulator, producing 400 tons of thrust. Due to its high thrust and low efficiency, it is best suited for the first (booster) stage of most rockets which are used at sea level.
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.

Trivia[]
- This engine used to be called the "Big Falcon Engine."
- This name was likely a reference to SpaceX's "Big Falcon Rocket," an early name for their Starship launch vehicle.
- In v1.35, the flame was changed to a plume, and the shock diamond was removed.
- The prior plume had a flame similar to the real-life RS-68 engine.
- The Titan engine's thrust was increased by 100t in the v1.5 update.
- This engine most likely represents the Rocketdyne F-1 engine used on the Saturn V rocket.
- This engine appears to be of the dual shaft gas-generator type, which is unusual for a typical gas-generator cycle rocket engine in real life. One example of a dual shaft gas-generator engine is the Vulcain 1 engine used on the Ariane 5 rocket.
