Jon144 Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 Presenting a new Helicopter Motor!Jon's Rotor Factory Turbo-Electric Model 1How does it work?It combines the technology of electric SAS torque and Turbo-shaft engines.It is designed to be a smaller and less powerful counterpart to its larger equivalents on the forum. As so helicopters made with it should have their weight monitored. To operate, disable SAS and set throttle to 0% on the main helicopter. Decouple the rotors from the rest of the craft. Control from it now and hold down LeftAlt+Q to spool up the electric motor using the SAS trim control. Switch back to the main part of the helicopter and use the throttle control to control the thrust of the turbo-shafts.Download Here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/kab5ve4ng74stki/JRF-ETS1B.craft?dl=0Please Note: This is a sub-assembly part; install it into your sub-assemblies folder.Flying Beaver and I are planning on making a special helicopter using the motor. However feel free to use it in your designs as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azimech Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 That's great! I'm gonna try it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 (edited) Nice, reminds me a bit of my own try (lightweight and highspeed)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0B-M_mir27g&list=UUOn4i7kmju23yLdWvw4z8_w Edited February 15, 2015 by RevanCorana Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azimech Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 Jon, if you build a helicopter without the electric motor, you can enter it into the challenge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RapidUnplannedDissasembly Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 This is amazing! Can I make a helicopter with it and put it on my company (crediting you, of course!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RapidUnplannedDissasembly Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Hmm- I might have to take it apart to see how it works Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RapidUnplannedDissasembly Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Psssst .... the turboshaft principle is my invention ;-)I think I will just try and make my own helicopter motor... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon144 Posted February 16, 2015 Author Share Posted February 16, 2015 The Turbo-shaft idea is great but the rotors are much more powerful and efficient if attached on the actual blades itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azimech Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 True ... but have you ever seen one in real life beyond a concept test? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon144 Posted February 16, 2015 Author Share Posted February 16, 2015 Nope. But KSP physics are obviously very far from real life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azimech Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 That's the challenge: trying to get closer to real life with the tools we have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
