There is a weight penalty for the density; compact fusion engines are 50% heavier than the standard fusion engine&lt;ref name=TMp214&gt; &#039;&#039;TechManual&#039;&#039;, p. 214&lt;/ref&gt;, limiting its use to [[&#039;Mech]]s that require a lot of internal space and/or have tonnage to spare. One benefit of this arrangement is that penetrating hits are less likely to hit the smaller profile of the compact fusion engine than they would a bulkier standard fusion engine.<br /> <br /> Among BattleMechs that use the compact fusion engine are the [[Word of Blake]]&#039;s &#039;&#039;[[Archangel]]&#039;&#039;&lt;ref name=TRO3075-92&gt;&#039;&#039;Technical Readout: 3075&#039;&#039;, p. 92, &quot;Produced Archangel Components&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; and the [[Draconis Combine]]&#039;s &#039;&#039;[[Wight]]&#039;&#039;&lt;ref name=TRO3075p70-71&gt;&#039;&#039;Technical Readout: 3075&#039;&#039;, pp. 70-71, &quot;Wight &#039;Mech Profile&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;.<br /> <br /> ==References==<br /> &lt;references/&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Bibliography==<br /> * &#039;&#039;[[Maximum Tech]]&#039;&#039;<br /> * &#039;&#039;[[TechManual]]&#039;&#039;<br /> * &#039;&#039;[[Record Sheets: 3072]]&#039;&#039;<br /> <br /> <br /> [[Category:Engines|Engine, Fusion Compact Engine]]</div>
