Louis93 Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 Hey guys so i've made a boat and since we've now got the heli rotors i'm set on making the engine work using propellers, the only issue is... I can't get it to work!!! I've tried several designs and the most success I've had is 2 'wheels' made of wing surfaces rotating in opposite directions which gave me a whopping... 0.6 m/s, anything else i've tried has either been worse than that or not moved me at all. Wondering if anyone else has got any working propeller designs they wish to share? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got a prop-driven submarine up to 13 m/s, although that was a while back, before the stock propeller and fan blades. I haven't tried to use them underwater yet. https://kerbalx.com/Brikoleur/Kalypso Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 I just checked and the actual propeller blades don't seem to do much underwater. The small elevon though is super effective, I got a sub well past 20 m/s on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
