The Large Flat Atmospheric Thruster, nicknamed Large Flatmo, is a more compact variant of the Large Atmospheric Thruster with the same atmospheric flight functionality. See also 
Flat Atmospheric Thruster.
Usage
Flat Atmo Thrusters are ideal to build compact planetary drones, shuttles, or lightweight scouts.
Force
The lift ratio of the flat compared to the full atmo thruster is about 1/3 for small and 1/2.5 for large ones:
| Atmo Thruster | S Flat | S Full | L Flat | L Full |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Small | 32 kN | 96 kN | 200 kN | 648 kN |
| Large | 230 kN | 576 kN | 2.6 MN | 6.48 MN |

The square shaped variant- The D-shape variant
Construction
The Flatmo has less than half the component cost and uses less power, but is also less robust and has only 1/3 of the lift of a full Atmo Thruster.
Just as with all other thrusters, there are four blocks: A large Flat Thruster versus regular sized Flat Thrusters, and both exist for small grid and for large grid.
- Large-grid Flat Atmospheric Thruster
- Large-grid
Large Flat Atmospheric Thruster - Small-grid Flat Atmospheric Thruster
- Small-grid Large Flat Atmospheric Thruster
Flat Atmospheric Thruster D Shape is a shape variant of the Flat Atmospheric Thruster. The Flat Atmospheric Thrusters are circular encased in a square hull, whereas the D shape variant is circular with only one straight side. The circular one has attachment points all around the square frame, while the D Shape only attaches to other blocks only on the straight side.
