📋 About This Mod
This is a simple and yet useful set of two engines.
First the ScramJet. Useless on the ground, but provides thrust at much higher altitudes then the stock jet engines, without the need to air hog. Best if used over Mach 1400 m/s, peaking at 1700 m/s. Huge ISP at high altitudes (above 8000 meters).
Next the Merlin 1D. I decided that since I have a realistic engine that seems massively underpowered to the point I had to tune it up, why not add a realistic engine that seems massively overpowered to the point I have to tune it down. With that in mind I added the Merlin 1-D Rocket Engine. It has about half the thrust of the real thing, but the ISP is the same. Which still makes it perhaps the most powerful engine for its tier in the game.
BT Engine Pack adds two engines to Kerbal Space Program: a ScramJet optimized for high-altitude, high-speed flight above Mach 1400 m/s, and a Merlin 1D rocket engine with half the real thrust but matching ISP, making it powerful for its tier. This vehicle category mod offers simple, useful additions.

💡 Beginner Tips
