  1. I tried removing the canards altogether, which had a negligible effect on AoA and a negligible effect on Cd. I'm also seeing some very strange stalls on that first plane: The right control surfaces always stall before the left ones when I try to pitch up, no matter where my nose is pointed. Severely too: the right rudder and elevator goes completely red in the Aero Viz while the left ones have 0 stall.
  2. I'm seeing some unintuitive behavior with FAR and Procedural Wings, and I'm trying to figure out if it's modeled properly, or if there's something wrong with my FAR install. These two planes have the same fuselage, with different wings: But where I expected the delta wing to have much less drag at Mach 4, its Cd is 50% higher than the other one at about the same AoA.
  3. Can someone post a .craft file for a plane that uses the HW21 wings and FAR? Try as I might, I can't build a plane that can use those wings. I'm trying to build a nice, simple, low-part plane for Duna but I've yet to get anything off the runway. They just shake themselves apart.
  4. Assuming there's no air resistance, all you'd need is the specific energy. KE = 1/2v^2 and PE = -(gravitational parameter)/(altitude) at any point. So you'd get something like this Where mu = gravitational parameter, R = planetary radius, A = initial altitude, and v = initial speed.
