  1. Project Helicopter

    Project Hystory

    Since i started playing KSP, i was interested on Helicopters. I saw people making flying screws, etc.

    Well, i was one of them.

    Some months ago, i thought about a concept to fly helicopters, by separating rotor from the helicopter chassis.

    Now i want share my work on this project.

    Why Project Helicopter?

    Because it's only a project. It will change name when it will not be a project anymore.

    Day 1)Project Helicopter Concept (May, Saturday 30 2015)

    h.19:30

    After several tries, i had the concept to do it.

    It will be powered by jet engines. It will detach from the helicopter chassis by a Docking port, and it will stay in position thanks to some wheels.

    The helicopter chassis will stay in the right position by SAS.

    h.19:51

    The rotor makes the helicopter chassis rotate, so i will need something to contrast that force. I think that 2 rotors (or Main Rotor and Tail Rotor) aren't appropriated, because too many vessel changes should be made. I will make a simple engine in the tail for now.

    h.20:05

    The tail engine works perfectly. The rotation is controlled and contrasted, so it will be able to rotate in the opposite side of the rotating forces made by main rotor.

    Now i will take it for a fly test. Yaw and Pitch aren't controlled, i will make them after the Test 1.

    h.20:11

    TEST 1: The test had good result, apart the explosion of the main rotor. The roll was perfectly controlled. The explosion of the main rotor should be caused by some structural failures, so i will try to fix it.

    Day 2 - Project Helicopter Concept - May 31, 2015

    h16:39 - All the afternoon trying to adding yaw and pitch to the helicopter.. Thinking that my idea is impossible. The rotor is indipendent to chassis rotation, and trying to add some wheels to keep it straight with the chassis creates roll forces.
