@F104Deathtrap Alright so if I understand correctly; the core of the engine becomes less and less influential on thrust as speed increases past mach 2, turning it more into a ramjet. And wow I knew that aircraft was powerful but that's pretty insane.
@SnoWFLakE0s This plane here is an older, less powerful version of the aircraft in question. It delivers a total of 1750 HP from two T1000 powerplants. One of them is buried in the cowling. The exhaust stacks have been tested and add only a negligible amount of thrust. It should be able to climb vertically as well.
@SledDriver This is a little off topic but aren't rotators, pistons and joints generally very unstable with massive vehicles? This seems to not be the case with your creations.
@FeiWu Hey no worries, it doesn't have to be super realistic, as long as it works and you are satisfied with the performance it should be ok. In reality, there's a lot more variables coming in to play that I myself will probably never even know about.
I dont think there is any way to stop the governor from kicking in. If it is really important to you, you could go all the way and make a custom engine with wings as propeller blades, and then bury jet engines inside for the sound and driving the propellers. If you use the traditional wings instead of the structural ones, you can exceed the angular speed limit.
Britain was pretty good at this too. Imagine flying at 400mph low level and suddenly your freaking tail falls off.
+7WHY HIDE THE RESULTS
+1@Kreep2knight I know right that's about 6 gallons PER SECOND
@F104Deathtrap Fascinating stuff tbh
+1Stop right there.

@F104Deathtrap Hah, so that's the reason it works up to mach 3.5 and 80,000 ft.
Dash 8 Q400?
+1@jamesPLANESii Remember this next time you strap a J15 to something, it can power an SR-71 lmao
Hawker Tempest V
4 turning 4 burning it seems
@ALRX Lol what? That would kinda suck lmao
People leave, there's no pattern to be drawn here. There's plenty of great builders left.
+3Dihedral, it helps with stability. Causes the plane to slowly auto-correct itself to level flight after banking
@spefyjerbf The effort was well worth it
@switdog08 Asking the real questions here
Holy hell, now that you mention it..
+1Why did I read "Phil Swift"?
+2Never thought I'd like helicopters but here I am.
+3@spefyjerbf The amount of funky tech on this craft is amazing
Thats some impressive building for a two year old
The time has come, Spefy.
+1I have a hard time believing this is simpleplanes. And I mean that in the best way possible.
Holy hell the cockpit
I'm sorry dave, I'm afraid I cant do that.
+1@SnoWFLakE0s Indeed it shouldn't be possible given the power/weight of the aircraft, guess I'm gonna have to cheat around it in some way.

@SnoWFLakE0s Legit, a sustained 90 degree climb immediately after takeoff. Like a rocket.
It sounds cool
+1@BornToBeBurned Yes but high drag often gives poor engine-out performance. I figure bringing down the power is the only option.
@jamesPLANESii That seems to be the case yea. I'll be putting a little less emphasis on the numbers from now on.
@Diver Oh I see now, you're absolutely right.
@SledDriver Thats cool, never thought of that
@SledDriver This is a little off topic but aren't rotators, pistons and joints generally very unstable with massive vehicles? This seems to not be the case with your creations.
I love the design, but the engine nacelles are minuscule, and the propellers are too close to each other, seems like they would impact each other.
Usually they have, but it's not a defining factor of a flying wing.
Too many
@SledDriver Damn, what a unit. Not sure if I'm ever flying at night again.
It should come with a prompt going like: Are sure you wish to change your life's decisions?
+5big plen
Imagine it's night and youre just cruising along and then all of a sudden this thing comes flying at your navigation lights at mach speed.
UNORIGINAL CONTENT, BE GONE
It is. Wake up sheeple
+2When modding I saw these AI modes: Aerobatics, buzz, kamikaze, follow path, loops, race, aggressive, follow the leader (I think) and default.
The problem is you can't influence which mode gets chosen and when.
+1@asteroidbook345 Damn, that's my new background wallpaper from now on.
@FeiWu Hey no worries, it doesn't have to be super realistic, as long as it works and you are satisfied with the performance it should be ok. In reality, there's a lot more variables coming in to play that I myself will probably never even know about.
@asteroidbook345 Maybe you could try using rotators for power, with funky trees they can be configured to become throttleable.

The answer is in the title, but XML can also be used I think.
"If it looks right, it flies right" couldn't be any more true in this case. Outstanding build.
