My other guess, which is true, is that it attracts the birds and eagles that would otherwise be sucked into the engines.

A community for your defence shitposting needs
Rules
1. Be nice
Do not make personal attacks against each other, call for violence against anyone, or intentionally antagonize people in the comment sections.
2. Explain incorrect defense articles and takes
If you want to post a non-credible take, it must be from a "credible" source (news article, politician, or military leader) and must have a comment laying out exactly why it's non-credible. Low-hanging fruit such as random Twitter and YouTube comments belong in the Matrix chat.
3. Content must be relevant
Posts must be about military hardware or international security/defense. This is not the page to fawn over Youtube personalities, simp over political leaders, or discuss other areas of international policy.
4. No racism / hatespeech
No slurs. No advocating for the killing of people or insulting them based on physical, religious, or ideological traits.
5. No politics
We don't care if you're Republican, Democrat, Socialist, Stalinist, Baathist, or some other hot mess. Leave it at the door. This applies to comments as well.
6. No seriousposting
We don't want your uncut war footage, fundraisers, credible news articles, or other such things. The world is already serious enough as it is.
7. No classified material
Classified ‘western’ information is off limits regardless of how "open source" and "easy to find" it is.
8. Source artwork
If you use somebody's art in your post or as your post, the OP must provide a direct link to the art's source in the comment section, or a good reason why this was not possible (such as the artist deleting their account). The source should be a place that the artist themselves uploaded the art. A booru is not a source. A watermark is not a source.
9. No low-effort posts
No egregiously low effort posts. E.g. screenshots, recent reposts, simple reaction & template memes, and images with the punchline in the title. Put these in weekly Matrix chat instead.
10. Don't get us banned
No brigading or harassing other communities. Do not post memes with a "haha people that I hate died… haha" punchline or violating the sh.itjust.works rules (below). This includes content illegal in Canada.
11. No misinformation
NCD exists to make fun of misinformation, not to spread it. Make outlandish claims, but if your take doesn’t show signs of satire or exaggeration it will be removed. Misleading content may result in a ban. Regardless of source, don’t post obvious propaganda or fake news. Double-check facts and don't be an idiot.

This is an addition that came late in GTA V which allows you to score a pretty humiliating kill on another player.
When the enemy has superior avian numbers, you drop this and fly into them.
New green propulsion pushed by the left, they want to make our planes slower and quieter and less smokey. Look, it even resembles their dumb little wind farms.
not the left, look: it's on the right of the plane... It's a republican propeller!
It's the auxiliary retractable engine, for STOL operations. It gives the aircraft turboprop like performance in takeoff and landing, with no detrimental effect on cruise performance.
Chops up dtones
that's a barometer for landing. it measures relative air speed, then subtracts the plane speed. there's another one on the other side for plane speed that measures relative air speed, then subtracts the wind speed calculated from the barometer.
This is just a retro flying mod for those who want to have the Spitfire/Messerschmitt experience. If not that it's an Anti-drone snipper, cutting off the little wings of a drone.
Gotta have your decorative pinwheel
Extra propulsion for tough days
🤫 it's how planes actually move 😉🤭
What, planes get pimples too. Nothing to see here. They are still beautiful
Tiny little baby emergency engine for use after you toss out the elderly to lighten the load.
It provides rotational power to mix the 7 grains of sand into the 200 peanuts.
