Default plane/engine
The plane you have is a JS 39 Gripen with a Sophia 850 turbine engine. The engine operates as the others have stated (to start)
and runs on JP4 (actual military) or Colman lantern.fuel. It will not start on Jet A, kerosene, or diesel fuel. It's now possible
to start that engine with a high volume leaf blower. Good luck.
