However, reversing on one side should be avoided in flight, as severe changes in lift on certain areas of the airframe will occur, possibly leaving the flight unrecoverable. Since aircraft are usually built with more than one of this engine, it can also be handy for making sharp turns on the ground, since one engine can be put into reverse while the other continues pushing forwards. Unlike many of the other jet engines (and all of the rockets), this engine is capable of reversing its thrust, which makes it useful for rapid deceleration during landing and for backing into hangars. Visualization of the thrust multiplier curve for atmospheric pressure This airliner engine pretty much can be considered the advanced big brother of the J-33 "Wheesley" Turbofan Engine, having practically identical performance curves, thrust reverse and even higher fuel efficiency. It is the only jet engine with large radial size, and built in air intake. This engine is the fourth air-breathing engine which can be unlocked in the tech tree, after the J-404 "Panther" Afterburning Turbofan, although in another branch of the tree. The J-90 "Goliath" Turbofan Engine is a large air-breathing engine which uses liquid fuel and intake air, added with version 1.0.5 of Kerbal Space Program.
