Propellor plane megathread (stock)

[dennislinux]

if any have any stock propellor planes, post them here.

if you know how to make a stock propellor engine, post it here

if you got the craft file, post it here.

please give screenshots

thankyou and enjoy

*Propeller.

Also, you can use the [sTOCK] Prefix.

Thanks, spacecowboy, but what i needed, is a plane that uses a motor that spins for power, not a plane that spins. the propellor motor should be as small as possible, too.

[astropapi1]

Well, why don't you create it then?

[dennislinux]

i don't know how to, so i use this thread for help.

[astropapi1]

You don't know how, because you simply can't.

If you want propellErs, just download the firespitter pack and delete the rest of the parts.

[dennislinux]

no, i saw some videos on youtube, that demonstrated that they can with stock parts! just search up "ksp stock prop plane" on youtube.

To get something to rotate in Kerbal in a fixed frame or structure, you have to have several landing gear pressing against a tank. It has been done already but not for propellers yet. The best way to build the rotating structure in in the VAB. Before or after, you could build the rest in the SPH.

Can we have some planes instead of chat?

Making one that is able to even move at speed would be hard. Getting it to fly is another matter entirely.

You'd have to make it huge, with more than 1 propeller pulling it along. It would also have to be light, and with as little drag as possible. If we had computer programs to build optimal designs it would be possible, but I think it's effectively impossible to do without a lot of time and hard work.

I can build a prop plane that doesn't use firespitter but it isn't mod free. I have to have Infernal Robotics to make it work.

Duh...

I've made some choopers with rotatrons, but it's too much of a hassle.

Something that would probably work to get some serious thrust is to have a central shaft turning, with a million angled airfoils on it, kind of like an axial flow turbojet.

[Giggleplex777]

I might try.

[dennislinux]

Thanks giggleplex my savior it is just reverting one of ye great heli engines onto a horizontal state!

[Aphox]

Well, that was a mess.

Keep it clean in here, folks. There's absolutely no reason for personal attacks and arguments that have nothing to do with the thread.

[Giggleplex777]

Now to make a bit more powerful...

If this works, it'll be the second ever stock reaction wheel powered plane.

[dennislinux]

Good progress, we are getting onto something! giggleplex, im gonna upload my chassis very soon. please do try to use that,

[dennislinux]

nice engine, anyways im seeing potential!

[Giggleplex777]

Doubling the power...

[dennislinux]

YEAH! jeb is gonna be so happy about the quick advances we make

[Giggleplex777]

Hmm... I think we have a problem.

I'll work on the twin engine one then.

[dennislinux]

got some advice: GIMME DOWNLOAD LINK GIMME

and yes, the advice is :do work on the 2 engine one. chassis upload is tomorrow, perhapsp.s.

did you use liquid fuel engines or solid fuel engines? i prefer liquid fuel, though solid fuel will still be possible.
