Doesn't that just raise the aerodynamic center closer to the center of mass and lower stability? With that big thing at the top you'd think the aerodynamic center would already be way high. I guess maybe that's just the KSP1 model and in KSP2 it's closer to reality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right, though, but there are more fins at the bottom than at the top and the thing at the top will contribute a lot to shifting the CoM higher than the CoL. The fins are probably there so when the ship turns, both the top and bottom are encouraged to rotate by aero forces. I can't say if it's more efficient or not, though.

There's an equal amount of fins top and bottom. 6 on top, 6 on bottom. *This assumes that the fins on the core stage are in 3 way symmetry like the SRBs are* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't see fins towards the top on the right booster though. I can only see two fins on the booster closest to the POV and those look like two way symmetry.

The fins on the right booster and pretty much lined up perfectly with the camera, so by optical illusion they are invisible to the naked eye. You can see them just barely if you zoom in and focus.

Yeah, okay thought those where the external "railings/fuel lines" that go down the booster (because of the missing shadow), but now that I saw that the shadow is strangely detached on the fin one closest to us too, I guess you're right.

Nirgal Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 Entropian has just uploaded a video tribute to KSP1, possibly the last for that game. It's a masterpiece.

Oh definitely. I can guarantee the video you linked was sped up by 500x to achieve a bearable framerate.
