A Booster Plane Study :: SPH
This was made as a proof of concept for this post on Reddit.
After watching this video:
You will notice that
- I trimmed the landing gears to raise the nose a bit
- I increased the angle of attack of both wings
- The rear wings have a slightly smaller angle to prevent her arse to take off before the nose! (and, yeah, trial and error!)
- You will notice that
9
will trigger the Flaps, needed to take off - but not for cruising, so hit 9
again once her is airborne
- I nerfed the booster trust to about 37%
- I think you can nerf it a bit more, the less the better as the fuel will last longer.
- But she will need more runway to reach taking off speed...
- I added a parachute, as I really doubt this contraption will able to land safely!!!
