    VTOL. mods used: OA floodlights, damned aresospace, and damned robotics

    in KSP1 The Spacecraft Exchange

    Posted · Edited by deker13

    well i designed a VTOL called the hummingbird since hummingbirds can hover and whatnot.... well, lets cut to the chase. this jet is a turbine(damned aerospace) powered VTOL. its lift rating isn't very high so u should always keep its nose pointed up. now, time to get serious.

    how to start flying: activate the jet but keep the throttle off. tilt the turbines using 9 and 0 to a vertical position. increase throttle slowly with AP on. then once you are about 100 to 200 meters in the air turn the turbines forward. its OK if the jet starts tilting up when u do it. its actually good cause it will keep the jet from starting to lose altitude and it WILL lose altitude.(don't try to fly off the runway like a normal jet like i said the turbines are the only thing lifting it up so its hard to do it without tilting the turbines up a little. to land it its vice versa

    now pics.

    this is it starting to take off. its unstable at first but you'll get the hang of it.

    VTOL Design Tips?

    if u want something that does not have to waste weight and can land multiple times, use a tilting engine VTOL. they are hard to make and unstable, but worth it in the end. i suggest tilting engines on the wings or on the fuselage then the wing attaches to the engine if this makes any sense u can make a tilt engine VTOL.

    [Question] Dealing with Space Junk

    in KSP1 Gameplay Questions and Tutorials

    Posted · Edited by deker13

    keeping space junk in the atmosphere has ts problems too because what if it survives?(or that u have a bunch of carriers to launch boats into the water...)then u cause a lot of lag if u have a lot of space junk in the area u are looking at. the best solution is to get a mod for this there is one that can be remotely detonated once u drop the stage but the prob is u need to put it on first so it wont work for pre-existing space junk
