Stable Jet design
Hello
Why does this plane turn?
I know a fair amount about the center of mass and center of thrust, (not as much about the center of lift), but with this design,
there is clearly a lot more drag at the back, and like a badminton birdie, it should want to go straight as a toothpick. Nope.
Plz help.
I love ksp so much and want to go explore and do amazing things, but it is things like this that drive me batexcrements crazy and irritate me to the point of not
You should never ever need to adjust the friction settings of the wheels, @bewing; that design, for example, has plenty of ground drag at the back at low speeds or at rest. It's problems are entirely aerodynamic.
The issue is very straightforward. It's CoL is so far back (and more or less aligned with the rear gear) that what happens is that the rear gears are being lifted off the ground, reducing their traction and drag, and causing the wheelbarrow effect. The rear gears and CoL bei
