Considering the thrust that is available to the fighters in FT/MT ect.
streamlining is not important. Give me a big enough engine an I can
fly a brick. (Remember the F-4)
One turn to climb to orbit, operations, and then one turn to land
is sufficient to maintain the 'feel' of the function without adding
unnecessary complexity to the game.
Just a thought.
