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!!!
