The design thread!

[RoadRunnerAerospace]

Just a thread to share your designs/sketches of aircraft, spacecraft, boats, subs, etc.

Post away.... I guess?

Ignore the Lukrehulk in the bottom. The Starhawk doesn't have any visuals of it so looking for feedback from other Star Wars fans. The only real imfo I had is that it looked like a hatchet. I imagine a combination of Nebulon B, Mon-Cal cruisers, and a bit of Imperial designs. Pardon the HORRENDOUS camera quality please...

A few scifi designs for a short story I was writing but abandoned....

For a while now I have been considering starting a design related thread here on the Kerbal Forums.  But rather than our own designs the idea I had is if we could colaboratively design or redesign a thing for real world use.  When  it comes to anything, cars, aircraft, space rockets everyone seems to have an opinion but not everyone gets their opinions and design ideas validated or constructively criticised.  Most people think a thing (electric car or aicraft for example) should have something or shouldnt have a something.  I was wondering if it is possible that together we could actually come up with a design that is better than what companies can come up with.  Maybe the lack of commercial interest would allow us to do that or, on the other hand, we prove to ourselves why we are sat at home and not in some company actualy designing something useful.

I have tried this a little on other social networks in the past but haven't had a great response.

Quick little thing that I drew up

Call it the "EACHR" (need a better name) for Electronic Axial Compressed Hybird Ramjet

Its designed so that It behaves kinda like a jet engine until it gets to mach 1 or so, then goes all ramjet

Fully reasuble CSM (expect for the launch tower ofcourse)

"The challenge: Allied air forces of the 2040s are required to perform regular reconnaissance flights over highly hostile enemy territory without detection, whilst also performing humanitarian air drops. Your challenge is to design an aircraft which meets these requirements. Consider the merits of manned and unmanned aircraft, as well as new types of human/machine interface and manufacturing techniques including 3D printing."

Sounds interesting!

@NSEP

Those diagrams look like they're drawn on your.....math book. Most suspicious

Huh. That sounds a lot more intelligent than the random scribbles I draw lol

[LordFerret]

All my designs and plans are drawn up here...

...I just don't have any way to spill it all out for you here.
