mincespy Posted June 9, 2012 Author Share Posted June 9, 2012 Is gaby\'s sub mod allowed?No. Only balanced mods are allowed, and seeing as the submarine has a near-unlimited amount of fuel I think it\'s a cheat part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dogon11 Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 Built my glider, flew out till I reached 5 meters, pulled up another five degrees, went back up to 500 meters... still gliding 40 minutes after liftoff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not level flight and high vertical descent rate. Above the working height for air-breathing engines.I think we need the OP to clarify the rules for the World Airspeed Record a little. I suggest level flight with zero vertical velocity (plus or minus 5m/s say) and air-breathing engines only considering the context. Ensures no power dives from space that way.

zekes Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 I do have to say I was only 2,000 feet higher than the previous world record holder, and mie is simpler and without mods.Heres one (higher) but going straight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radion Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 I do have to say I was only 2,000 feet higher than the previous world record holder, and mie is simpler and without mods.Heres one (higher) but going straight.I also contest this, seeing as it\'s basically a rocket with wings. Aerospike engines are designed for rockets, not planes. Essentially you\'re flying a rocket through thin atmosphere and calling it a fast plane.

zekes Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 Ah well then.One last thing. It does have fully working control surfaces, uses a first stage to get to altitude, and can parachute down to a safe landing, so would it not be a space shuttle?Its still cool.Anyway, I want the water speed record.(it uses aerospike engines with a top speed of 50 m/s.)

Railsmith Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 Oh boy, another jet speed record challenge! Here\'s the latest test flight of my Ulan-E4 that I have screenshots of. Unfortunately, the ejection system didn\'t work on this flight, and so we have three dead kerbonauts. Still, 932 m/s! Or 938. I\'ve gone faster in this plane, but I forgot to take a shot.Record title: World Airspeed RecordRecord Stastic: 938 m/sVersion: 0.15Screenshots: Attached.Mods used: None, like a normal lazy person.

dogon11 Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 Four hours after glider took off, still gaining altitude. And no, no magic turbines. I\'m up to 5000 meters and 50 m/s. What is going on? At this rate, I\'ll glide around the world (granted, I\'ll be done in another twenty hours). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, I was doing an extra 20 m/s, and was still pointing up at twenty degrees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fendleton Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 I\'m getting close on the airspeed. My peek so far is 920m/s.....6 minutes of fuel really isn\'t very much for this, but it seems to work. It\'s kinda fun levelling out an aircraft going this fast. 11 turbojets really pack a punch.Edit: 4m/s below it. I\'ll try again later...this laptop HATES me....and these planes, while insanely fast, are not the most controllable beasts when they\'re below ~250m/s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fendleton Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 Finally, after some redesigns.....I present, the Lancer 10!Record: AirspeedStatistic: 952 m/s (Level flight. My screenshot is from a few seconds before then)Version: 1.15.2Mods used: MechjebScreenshots:Just a few seconds before engine cutoff (which is exactly at the point of max speed)Max speed and stats. I lost control while trying to glide in for a water landing....there\'s just too much weight behind the wings, and not enough control from the canards. Ah well. It CAN glide to a landing, just not very well. I\'ve managed it once out of about 15 test flights.Aircraft of this design are SERIOUSLY fast, but they\'re pretty hard to handle, since they basically use the engines for pitch control.Edit: Added version. Also, according to Wolfram Alpha, that\'s very nearly the speed of a bullet. I\'m pretty sure someone can go faster than this though....the Lancer is limited by fuel (6 minutes of fuel, then you\'re gone). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dogon11 Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 Here is my submission into Longest Glider Distance:Name: Eagle Mk1Record: Distance via GliderStatistic: 3,804,449 meters in total.Version: 0.15.2Mods Used: N/AScreenshots are attachments since imgur won\'t work...Also, the trip did go around the entire world. I started it 6/9/2012 at 5pm and finished 6/10/2012 at approx. 10 am. I left it to glide overnight while I slept, and everything went fine. Sorry I didn\'t get any pictures in flight, but I assure you that there were no 'magic turbines'. However, I glided out away from KSC for a third of the ocean\'s distance, pulled up to twenty degrees, climbed up to 6000 meters, and stayed there until landing (which I botched because I forgot to go to warp X1).
