Beale Posted March 13, 2020 Author Share Posted March 13, 2020 (edited) If you're... confused. Understandable. This craft is based on the Blue Steel, which was a nuclear hypersonic missile. A not amazing weapon that became obsolete quickly. There was some proposal to turn this into a manned rocket plane, a.k.a. British X-15. This takes it one step further and makes an orbital plane.

claustro Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 (edited) OOO, will the X-15 (X-1?) from Taerobee get some attention, too? Would it even fit? I'll have to see... Edited March 13, 2020 by claustro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mudwig Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 @Beale That blue and gold scheme gives off some major "Vault Tech" vibes, or maybe Sweden... I guess... if you're into that sort of thing. Is the Blue Steel intended for use with the Gamma 2, or is Stentor planned? It would probably have to be either a dual mode setup or multiple parts in order to work correctly, so I can understand if it's not in the works. It's looking great regardless!

Rodger Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 I’m loving the wings, will be using them on other stuff too for sure! I just noticed the medium and large winglets are set to have 100% control surface area, was that needed to be able to fly them properly?

The forward fins have been set now to 100%, as the whole wings turn, and the 2nd and 3rd wings set to 25%. I will begin flight tests now. Dear thanks also to @Well who has saved my bacon with many flight tests of this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beale Posted March 18, 2020 Author Share Posted March 18, 2020 GitHub New flight balancing, looks good! Generally no problem gliding down until stalling at around 40m/s or so. Next step is the landing, in order of what I would prefer (but might not be possible): Wheels Skids Skids + Parachute Parachute + studs https://github.com/Tantares/CRE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
