Cranium Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 Geez, what's the TWR on that thing, some insane number? I thought I was powerful at 4+ TWR, but dang... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robotengineer Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 Working on improving my rolling designs. I now have a jet powered unicycle inspired by starwars. I have a link on my sig for more information.http://i.imgur.com/hUv0uHN.jpgCraft file please. That is awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToyotaTim Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 I hope pretty atmospheric scattering can stand in for clouds.http://i.imgur.com/mbaxsCJ.pngAlready threw her up in SSTO showcase. Still tinkering so she'll make orbit.Nice (soon to be?) SSTO!! What mod provides the Atmospheric scattering Cpt Sierra? It has a nice (RAM-friendly) look to it!

Monkthespy Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 W.I.P SSTO. This is my fourth iteration, just because it's a delicate balance of an insane amount of engines and fuel to lift the payload. The whales just have trouble breaking Mach 1.1-4, if it breaks that, its should get into orbit.I'll redesign the craft for looks once the specs have been worked out.I haven't really done SSTOs, but I have built a couple that work. Just gotta get these to mach quicker...Javascript is disabled. View full albumI'm making this for my company, Avalanche Aeronautics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thingymajigy Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 (edited) mini SSTOGot to 80x80 orbit with barely any fuel left -- 25 oxidizer and ~100 LF. Single rapier engine, 18 parts EditIt can also re-enter fine, all oxidizer used up, about 80 LF to cruise Edited May 30, 2015 by Thingymajigy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VR_Dev Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 Testing out the jet and screen recording. My video recording still isn't great via the cheap laptop I bought. Tiny bit better than my old mac though. I removed the big condensers from the raptor and the overall shape is much smoother now. Those looked cool but still better without. And I shrunk the raptor down to get the outline for an f-35 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mad Rocket Scientist Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 Get ready for a new craft:Coming soon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Columbia Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 Finished 3 crafts in two days:McDonnell Douglas MD-11A wide-body trijet, this was a derivative of the more successful DC-10, with a stretched fuselage, winglets, and a new glass-cockpit design. While it still operates as a cargo aircraft - notably for FedEx - it last flew as a commercial passenger jet for KLM last November 2014. British Aerospace 146/Avro RJ100Who needs such a tiny jetliner anyway? This aircraft was used for short domestic hops, and is tiny indeed, despite the four-engined configuration. While it is produced no longer, many low-cost airlines have found use for its configuration, and have used it up to the present day.Airbus A330-300Along with it's sister of similar design and era, the A340 (<-Coming soon, mkay?), the A330 was developed and introduced in January of 1994. While the A340 was lost in the bowels of ending production, the A330 continued on and grew to become a competitor of the Boeing 777 in range, economy and maintenance. (And yes, I know it's wings are currently ugly!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VR_Dev Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 New wings, the shape on both is pretty great for both now it's just performance & smoothing stuff out.The 35 might be too small?Also what happened to the basic engine? That thing used to be fine for these type of craft but now their pretty much useless. The turbojet engines outperform them even at sea level.

You're supposed to replace your basic jet engines... I think. I don't play career. I think they should be able to outperform the Turbojets below mach easily but they don't.

Monkthespy Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 (edited) Javascript is disabled. View full albumThe new SSTO for Mk.1 or semi-large satellites, the X-15 "Lion" 100. It can weigh around 70 tons and is around 160-170 parts depending what you put in it (in it's current model). It is powered by RTGs, so no solar panels.The fuel load after lifting a bunch of fuel cells, a rocket fuel tank, and a half rocket fuel tank, was around 700. I doubt I was very efficient with this and probably could of gotten upwards of 1500 fuel left (if I used the nuke mainly and was very stringent with the R.A.P.I.E.Rs. Yes, this thing has 9 engines and only one is a nuke. It's very slow with the nuke, but, of course, it's very efficient. Not all of the fuel is liquid fuel/oxidizer, it has been balanced (sort of) to leave a closely correct amount of liquid fuel and oxidizer in orbit. If it this got refuel in orbit, it probably could go a very, very far distance (if you could wait 30 minutes). I'll get Kerbal Engineer in a little bit and check Delta-V for just the nuke with a full fuel load.I love the look of this thing. It has a super-intake (4 ram-air intakes together to make a square, and I didn't use the debug menu to make it) design, so each engine gets it's own 1 unit of intake. It hits mach early, so you need to zoom climb very, very early. The ram-air intakes and the control surfaces will destroy themselves.I don't know how the descent and the ascent profiles should be optimized, but the ascent profile I used was basically just eyeballing. I zoom climb to 8000, flatten out just a little, and when I get to around 700 m/s I zoom climb again up until 30,000 with the R.A.P.I.E.Rs auto-switch (I also shut off the turbos.) The descent profile is I make the periapsis 30,000 meters, and just do a descent where I attempt to stay at 30,000 for as long as possible until I get below 1000 m/s where it should be safe to descend. It lands fine and is sturdy on the ground.I'm not releasing it juuust yet, some smaller stuff to workout still.This is a repost from my rocket builder, Avalanche. Didn't want to bother retyping the whole thing. This is W.I.P anyways. Edited June 1, 2015 by Monkthespy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
