Thankyou for that clarification.

Those modules were certainly well-built - I managed to split a whole flock of seagulls on take-off - at least a dozen divided between the two engines and they both kept turning at more than 90% all the way round the circuit to land. Not a lot of thrust though.

On another occasion we had an aircraft that lost its' radome and scanner plus waveguides - again more or less equally divided between the two engines and, once again, your modules all kept turning and produced enough thrust to get the jet on the ground.

Not a lot of modern engines would cope with that.
