Does anyone know why some jets just shut off mid flight? Is it because of low speed? If so, why can a jet start up when it is on the runway, but can't stay lit while flying?

Well, I think I figured it out. It is a little VTOL design I made, where the engines turn right up. So, while flying, if you turn the engines up AND pitch down, the afterburner stops and there seems to be little to no thrust produced. Today I figured maybe the performance tab would give me some insight, and during that movement it showed a TWR of -0.01 or -0.02. So I believe air was running backwards through the engine. Nice touch from the devs.

@NoIDontWanna but if he is getting enough intake air during launch he would also get enough for the rest of the flight so it has to be something else.
@Pedropuglia could you give us a link to an unlisted version so we could take a look at it?
Or........ the reverse thrust is set to a control that's used like all the time, such as moving the pitch stick (on mobile idk) up, causes the reverse thrust to turn on and well, make it look like the engine died when really it just turned on its reverse thrust systems or whatever.
I type too much.
