The sprite is really good, but I'm not sure about the animation. It's a bit too uniform if that makes sense. The fire just sort of jiggles, when it should be pushing.

It might look better when moving though.

You could also try to emit particles. This way, you can easily adjust the flames according to thrust.

I used a little trick to simulate a thrusting jet.

You 'flutter' the scale of the sprite based on a variable that represents the current level of thrust.  So if it's idle there is a small flutter, then magnified when the thrust is 'full-on'.

Have a look for yourself, it's quite effective.
