Description
An enclosed propeller fan to propel you forwards and upwards!


The GSO Turbine Propeller is a grade 3 Flight block manufactured by GSO. Like all GSO blocks, it can be crafted with a GSO Fabricator.

It has 4 attachment point(s) and takes up 4 cell(s).

Usage[]

An average rotor, this is the first thing that makes flight possible. The red part of the block is where the thrust will push you, so keep that in mind when using it to construct a flying tech. While the thrust produced is reasonable, you will need to limit how many you add to your tech, as too many of them will cause the rotors becoming unable to support their own weight, even with other flight blocks. Also note that having an inadequate amount will also prevent your tech from getting off the ground. A few would be fine, but remember that it's best for thrust, and as for lift, it's better to use hover pads when at lower altitudes, as they are more efficient. Additionally, it can also be used to push grounded techs, so if the quantity of flight blocks is insufficient, this rotor will still have a spot. But in the late game, it's outclassed by most other propulsion flight blocks - Which are either much lighter, provide better thrust, or both.

Trivia[]

  • The turbine propeller resembles the rotors of a Hovercraft. It also looks like a conventional household fan with grating.
    • The prefab name directly references this.
  • It is the only GSO regular thruster flight block that is not an adjustment thruster.
