TouhouTorpedo's conglomerated aicraft thread

[TouhouTorpedo]

Because Otherwise I can see myself making a new thread every few days, so instead gonna go with just making one thread and rolling it on here.

So first things already uploaded in other threads -

Hoverjet2

-stock

Key features - 45 degree incidence stubby wings and vertical engines. Essentially flies somewhat like a helicopter. Need to adjust throttle a second before you think you have to for landings, or you will die!

F4U Corsair a like, (Canberrafold.craft)

-damnedaerospace

-damnedrobotics

-fixedcameramod

Key features-

Flies absolutely great. Needs about half Trim toward pitch down to fly level by itself, but it is very stable and very maneuverable. Has cameras placed in really neat places, and is entirely flyable on inside view without using the HUD.

DC-K Big, 3 prop engined

-damnedaerospace

-damnedrobotics

Key features-

Large but maneuverable and stable aircraft. Requires the trim to be adjusted at any time the throttle is adjusted due to its engines not being on the centerline. Otherwise however, flies much like the Corsair - while being 3 times the size. This is the first big plane I\'ve built with extremely dependable landing performance, it glides wonderfully.

(No Video - PC would melt if I flew this thing and used Fraps, plus no time at the moment for it!)

DC-K2

-damnedaerospace

-damnedrobotics

Key features

More fuel and better looking version of DC-K, produces slightly less thrust however due to being 2 not 3 engined. Flown on 2/3rds thrust at 6500m though it can make it to KSP2 with a whole tank of fuel to spare, and was my first aircraft to make it there-

Landing pictures!

Not having an actual runway at KSP2 makes it a real bugger. Seemed I\'d landed perfect safely ... till I hit a bump. >

I\'ve built a lot more planes, but thats my faves so far.

I thought I was meant to be making spaceships in this game. Meh

Your DC-3 looks more like a Ford or Junkers trimotor from the 30s. I always liked the look of those planes.

Having a look I see what you mean. Its like those two aircraft were spliced together. To be honest, I don\'t actually look at any reference building these, but just use them for inspiration. ;P (hence a-like!)

Also found this image of a DC-3 looking up what it should have looked like - http://www.thedc-3network.com/images/airshows.jpg

(yes i knew they had 2 engines, i just don\'t like the standard 1m cone when mated to the large cockpit!)

I built a similar craft to your Hoverjet, but I named it the Maco for its similar aesthetics to that of a shark.

It was a bugger to land, and impossible to land it precisely. Well done making a better one.

Tried it out? I find its still quite hard to land. Has interesting quirks in its behavior (they can be worked around mind once you figure out what it does)

The simplest way to make a better behaving one is use the smallest rocket engine instead for the better response times.
