circumnavigate with the biggest flappy plane


Recommended Posts

Circumnavigate kerbin(or any planet with an atmosphere) with the biggest plane that using the flapping wings feature.

Rules:

1. Your orbit must be all of it or partially in the atmosphere all the time.

2. No engines except ion power

3. No mods, except FAR(seperated category)

4. More TBA if exploits will be detected

It is customary to post your own attempt to show how do-able it is really... have you made one of those planes yourself yet? I think they are quite a feat of engineering, even in KSP!

And by the way, they are called Ornithopters :wink: (you can change the title by using advanced edit... otherwise people will be thinking "Flappy Bird in KSP? wut?")

I knew what he meant, but I did make a joke to myself about the dreaded flappy bird.

With regards to the rules, why only ion engines? Also, you might want to put the universal rule in, with the link right here:http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/79015-Proposal-for-standard-no-cheating-challenge-rules

It's not officially the universal rule, it's just what I call it.

Because ion engine is weak enough to prevent you from really fast speed, and it has very high Isp so you can abuse it how much you want without worrying about the fuel
