#jetwings

I do know about valstrax!! it's one of my fave monsters :D and it definitely inspired jetwings in some aspects :]

I have thought about it, but I am also not a scientist, so this is not super in depth haha, but basically, jetwings have slightly different anatomy in their bodies than other dragons. Most dragons have an organ in their bodies that allows for energy attacks, like a big capacitor. A Jetwing's "engines" are a hyperevolved version of this, that under specific circumstances (situations of high adrenaline, and high activity, the way your heart pumps really hard when running) can make energy much in excess of what it can store, so it must be vented outside of the body. And ofc when this happens it creates thrust :]

They also use air intakes just like jets as well, thats why they all have openings in their clavicles (usually) or elsewhere where air can flow in mid flight, into their engines.

They are a little uncommon but not super rare!

In broken horizon they are called Jetwings! Jetwings are a subtype of dragon that is able to fly using some type of engine/pressurized combustion, making their speed significantly higher than their regular dragon peers.

They can look more like planes, or more like dragons. In-universe, human planes are actually modelled/inspired by Jetwings! (or at least some of them are)
