sciencepanda Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 CMES has a good SLS, but not perfect. It's basically a textured ARES V core stage. Although, it has 5 engines, where as the SLS Block 1 has a 4 engine core stage... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StevieC Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 For the record, there was a design-change on the 2nd XB-70. Its main wing (well, the parts outboard of the twin vertical tails) were given a 5 degree dihedral angle, to improve handling at speeds above Mach 2.5, and to correct for that, the drooping wingtips were made to fold 5 degrees extra so they would fold to the same anhedral angle that the first prototype's wingtips had with the "flat" wings. Prototype 1's wingtips folded 25 degrees down for flight between mach 0.9 and mach 1.8, and 65 degrees down at speeds above mach 1.8. To compensate for its extra 5 degrees of dihedral, Prototype 2's wingtops folded 30 degrees down for flight between mach 0.9 and mach 1.8, and 70 degrees down at speeds above mach 1.8.Prototype 1 (s/n 20001)Prototype 2 (s/n 20207)You can see the extra dihedral if you look at the 2nd prototype's wing-trailing-edge.North American Aviation proposed to attach a delta-winged version of the X-15 rocket-powered spaceplane atop the XB-70 like this.I was thinking of a version of this with the 2nd prototype Valkyrie (with the extra dihedral on the wings, as the lack of dihedral on prototype 1 is why they limited it to below mach 2.5).

Just a suggestionI can see your serious about detail and I respect that, so I will use this information to update the craft. Many thanks for the idea. The best result I can get is infernal robotics for the wing adjustments and will have to be manually controlled at this stage. I dont thing it will affect aero ingame however Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StevieC Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 The concept behind the Valkyrie's design was a phenomenon called "Compression-lift". The theory went that the wedge-shaped engine-housing beneath the wing would push air into the space under the wing inside the downturned wingtips, increasing air-pressure beneath the wings enough to create sufficient lift to overcome the loss of wing-area, and that the downturned wingtips would act to increase vertical fin area for greater directional stability at Mach 3. The aircraft's flight-testing confirmed the hypotheses, but the thing's radar and infrared signatures were both enormous, making it an easy target for anti-aircraft missiles.

But as soon as I have them organised.Any changes you choose to make or have changed already, upload them how you like for me to download and put into the mod.I will email you sampa a download link with the ro/far to use and change.
