EpicSpaceTroll139 Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 Been working on a drillship inspired by Azimech's drilling platform. It worked great. (Larger drill pending) Until I added autostruts to keep the cable/pipeline stored until needed... The kraken apparently likes metal noodles seasoned with autostruts.

Castille7 Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 (edited) Cargo Ship "Seahorse" I am guessing one more WIP can't hurt? During my Bridge Project I needed to push or refuel the Bridge during it's journey to the Location and have some temporary push bars on the head. Neither are working Plans are to keep tweaking it as I am using it for better maneuvering and material hauling. Lagging was an issue with the Bridge and the Ship in the same playing field so I won't be getting these two next to each other too often. Long Range Shipping is not a problem for this big guy!

The staircase I hope will not require the Kerbals need of the F key to climb, haven't tried them yet, that's why I have them on a slight incline.

Servo Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 Aerial refuelling much? I've done parasite fighters, so this seems to be the logical next step. Actuated boom, forced up and down by the lift vanes toggling deploy modes. Also, I'm really proud with how the engine nacelles came out. With six wheeselys each, they max out at twice the thrust of the goliaths in the previous version. The control planes need to be seriously angled to prevent it from pitching up like the previous versions. It's not perfect, since the hinge needs to be stronger to hold the boom to the plane.

Munbro Kerman Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 (edited) Working on an *almost* full scale replica B-52 Stratofortress after my old B-52 just wasn't cutting it, this one is much more accurate and functional. All stock. Capable of carrying a X-15 to an altitude of 5 km before dropping. Similar story with my Apollo Lunar Module. I wasn't exactly very pleased with the design, so I built a new one. This one has the potential of carrying a rover, but only has a Surface Experiments Package.

Munbro Kerman Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 Using @NorthAmericanAviations neat little trick of having landing gear for a nose, I was able to get the U-2's rounded nose shape correct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Servo Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 I've finally gotten a version of my KC-135 boom that doesn't explode. Now for some non-static tests... Airbrakes are wonderful for actuating things that landing gear just doesn't work for. I had to abandon the flap method of deployment because it became really unstable while in flight. Hopefully replacing the wings will limit that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hurdurdur Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 Here is my nuclear pusher called ElleVator. Klaw for dragging things, big docking port for pushing big things. Screenshots from Ike orbit, had to drop a drilling station there. A very stable flier, the dragging works very well for things with bad center of mass, nukes spread apart so don't burn my cargo, can land on fuel drills with the klaw if needs to fuel up.

ScriptKitt3h Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 Made a small ion fighter today to test how much burn time you can pack into a small ion craft without opening the solar arrays (but while preserving a usable TWR): Even pulled off an attack run on one of my warships I'd left floating above Kerbin.

RocketPilot573 Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 (edited) I started a project to vertically integrate upper stages and payloads onto landed boosters of my new rocket. The Vertical Integration Facility (VIF) turned out quite nicely. The basic building (with nothing in it) is only 120 parts! This is the first iteration of the gantry crane. It is meant to grab a stage off of a transport vehicle before climbing up to the top of the VIF. The crane will next move horizontally toward the back of the building until it is over the rocket. The stage will then be lowered onto the rocket. Also, don't mind the extra few SRBs there, those are just to connect the crane and stage together in the VAB, they won't be needed later! The first test demonstrated that the crane was not very stable. But that can be fixed by making the landing gear tighter to prevent sideways movement, right? Apparently not- uh oh. Back to the drawing board? Hopefully by next weekend I will have a more thorough plan. -Rocket Edited February 12, 2017 by RocketPilot573 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Castille7 Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 Camelback Bridge Project 02.12.17 Update It's been a long slow trip to the Location (Shown on the Map below). I've made many trips to the Bridge while it was on it's way to location with the Bridge traveling at an average speed of about 11 m/s. At the moment I am nearing the Location where I plan to get these sections into place then take some estimates on how many additional sections will be needed. The Aqua Tram was modified with an Adapter to Refuel the Bridge, this craft has been working but with too many trips having to be made. Another craft (Shown below) was then designed which is larger and arriving at the Bridge with a near 4600 load of fuel. Vernor Engines were added for maneuvers, these were giving enough power to also steer the Bridge while underway.

Fellow314 Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 This is going to Jool The planey looking thing is for landing on Laythe, the other thing for landing on everything else. Except Jool itself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Munbro Kerman Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 SU-47 is coming along nicely. The only problem is that it pitches up sharply when pulling up, I'm already working out a solution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
