@PapaKernels Thanks for the response! Good take too. Ultimately the result should be a more robust (rehabilitative) and fair justice system IMO, which is more or less what you are describing. As for the “defund the police” slogan, it was pretty bad for optics, but really just meant that some (not all) funds should be reallocated to other programs that have been shown to reduce crime without putting desperate people behind bars. Anyway that’s all I’ll say, since whatever disagreements we may have are most likely within nuanced details :)
Consider the tank and disk flow system shown in the figure below. Flow discharges to air through the thin gap between the two disks. Water in the tank is pressurized. Gauge fluid is also water. All dimensions are shown in the figure. Neglect water level change in the tank and the viscous effect.
Find:
(a) Air pressure in region 1
(b) Flow speed exiting the edge of the disks
(c) Pressure distribution inside the disks: 𝑝(𝑟)
@Greggory005 Ty! I'd say that you should continue with your heli. Every build is unique and has its own value. Additionally, I think a heli of your style would be quite interesting to see ;)
No problem! I took another look at the description - my note about blast waves was actually useful here? That's awesome - I never knew that, of all things, my experience with Taylor blast wave solutions would actually be applicable to SP! I'm geeking out at this intersection of my technical interests with my hobbies. If your results worked while using my little aside, that's really, really, cool.
Yeah, PID controllers are weird. As for your code, this should work: (Activate2 & VTOL = -1) ? 1 : 0
This code should be entered into your input for your engine. If this doesn't work, then I can give you another variant of the code. Sometimes FT doesn't like it when I streamline code.
Good job on the optimized code! I remember doing something similar with Orbidyn-L, but the code was messier.
.
Of course, my code wasn’t tailored for autoroll, but it was more for general stability.
We're all having a laugh at "DA VINKY?" and all, but most people fail to see what actually happened here. Reading "Da Vinci" most people default to Florentine Vulgar Latin (modern Italian) pronunciation "Da Vin-chi"; generally that would be correct as Leonardo Da Vinci was actually Florentine. However, if we consider that Italian is just based on a vulgar regional dialect of Latin, we can look at official Latin pronunciation which would sound more like "Da Win-ki", and given that the twins are allegedly of Hungarian descent we know that most Eastern Europeans interpret "W" as "V". What I'm getting at here is that the twins are not actually just stupid and think "Da Vinci" is pronounced "Da Vinky", I'm saying that the twins speak true Roman Latin and know that it's actually pronounced "Da Win-ki" and due to their Eastern European upbringing they pronounce it as "Da Vin-ki". These twins must have been around long enough to have heard Classical Latin, and thus must have been around since the age of the Western Roman Empire.
These twins aren't stupid, they're geniuses. They are immortal beings, who simply toy with humans by pretending to be fools for our amusement and their benefit. We shouldn't mock them, we should fear them.
@BaconAircraft Same - with a few additions here and there. MATLAB and solidworks are the backbone of my software these days. The occasional Autodesk inventor (ew) does come up for my student org though. Every once in a while I have to open messy legacy CAD models to get some old measurements.
.
Say what you want about MATLAB, but it has been really useful for me. Its high-level format makes it easy to code some computational models for, in my case, simple mechanical systems.
@BaconAircraft Well it isn’t a fun game if no one gets hospitalized ;). Sarcasm of course. A few friends of mine have run some basic sims, but I haven’t. We’ll see if I get to use ANSYS given that aerodynamics and propulsion aren’t really my specialties. Aerospace system design (and some attitude dynamics) seems to interest me these days.
.
Speaking of software, can OP say how they tested their engine? As in the program they used. ANSYS? Some other CFD? Hydrocode? Maybe a fancy MATLAB model? High-level CAD/PLM suite?
@BaconAircraft I appreciate the ANSYS namedrop lol. Have you used it yet? I still have yet to actually use it or any other robust CFD software (I have dove a bit into hydrodynamic code but I was coddled along the way). I heard that a shot per ANSYS error message is one heck of a drinking game.
@ChrisChrisThePy I took 8th grade US history, yes. The origin of a symbol does not really matter if we are looking at how a symbol can be used or appropriated in a political manner. Symbols have different meanings to different groups of people within different realms of political discourse.
.
I argued that here it was being used neutrally, but based on the context provided on the license plate, I was probably incorrect.
.
EDIT: Lmao yeah the plate is definitely political
@Alpha6 No idea. The early days of my profile were quite disorganized. Feel free to take a look at my pre-1.7 fleet (in my bio) for some of the highlights though!
Not sure why I was tagged tbh. But if you want an honest opinion, I am perfectly fine with the 3 upload a a day number. That way, people can’t spam the site.
... That’s kindof the point. Forum posts are characterically low-effort. The forums are an egotistical mess as it is - adding a point incentive will just make it even worse.
@Sadboye12 Ty! This was a very long project. If you count some of the early FT work on an old testbed (unlisted), this build took two months. Needless to say, I am very proud of it!

+1Lmao not sure why people care. It’s kind of inconsequential tbh
+1Congrats!
+1Not sure. I always prefer cannons/missiles for my loadouts though.

+1Sounds pretty cool. Not sure if I had anything like this in my collection. Every good wep I’ve made I have posted, so looks like you beat me to it
+1It has a very nice shape to it. Spotlight-worthy IMO
+1@ThomasRoderick Yep!
+1@ThomasRoderick This one was a pretty good build. I would probably smooth out some rough edges on the shape too. Ty!
+1No worries! Appropriate credit was given here.
+1Ty! And to reiterate, your builds are definitely not the usual that we see on SP

Looks really good! I'm gonna spotlight since this is good work, especially from a bronze user.

+1.

@Gluck Said the solution pretty well here
+1@ThomasRoderick The link? The Streisand effect is essentially when someone tells the internet not to do something, and the internet does anyway.

+1Vibe.
+1They are definitely better than the average forum post.
+1@YamaSama Thank you. I would like to point out that you have some pretty nice builds though!
+1If we consider how people make friends in the forums, that upvote their planes, then we can reduce the number by a small factor.

@Gluck Please do! I provide the code so others can use it. As long as you mention me in the description! Also tag me so I don’t miss what you build.
+1A few mathy FT achievements for me:
- Projecting reference frames to describe lateral, longitudinal, and vertical velocities. Perfect for advanced FT flight systems.
- Projecting reference frames to describe the direction of gravity regardless of aircraft orientation. Good for making things float with FT.
- Making an electric engine governed by a differential equation (with FT).
+1Add another hidden needle that twists the other way. That should balance out the torques.
+1@Alpha6 Most likely not, though there is probably a small crew rather than a single pilot.
+1I wouldn’t expect much from that community. Good MC build.
+1Both. Make good stuff, but don’t spend so long on a single project that you bore yourself.
+1@Sankalpnarayan Try adjusting your physics settings.
+1@Alpha6 No idea. The early days of my profile were quite disorganized. Feel free to take a look at my pre-1.7 fleet (in my bio) for some of the highlights though!
+1Ah. Snowflake beat me to it haha
+1Not sure why I was tagged tbh. But if you want an honest opinion, I am perfectly fine with the 3 upload a a day number. That way, people can’t spam the site.
+1Yay! Even the small updates are quite nice. Excited for it.
+1... That’s kindof the point. Forum posts are characterically low-effort. The forums are an egotistical mess as it is - adding a point incentive will just make it even worse.
+1@switdog08 I might, though I don’t really like building replicas. Perhaps something with the same vibe, then.
+1@DarthAbhinav Pure coincidence! I was browsing Instagram before I posted, and one of the designers that I follow posted about World Helicopter Day!
+1Despite the functional shortcomings that you mentioned, this build looks great. Love the design!
+1@Sadboye12 Ty! This was a very long project. If you count some of the early FT work on an old testbed (unlisted), this build took two months. Needless to say, I am very proud of it!
+1@Viper3000ad Ty! When I post, I try make it count. I’l glad that I hit the target on this one.
+1@KnightOfRen @JSwannyGaming148 Thank you! It took me days to design the flight system alone. I’m glad that you like it.
