after so much trial and error, heres my first aircraft using the Valkyrien skies and the clockwork mod 😭 (Not based off of any aircraft model)

3/10

does not cook please spend more time again

silent bane

:(

wicked raft
#

ill tell u how to improve

silent bane
wicked raft
#

looking at it, id guess its not super good at turning, and probably tilts upwards all the time

#

is that true?

silent bane
#

Well it doesnt tilt at all no. but it takes a while to pull up and turn

silent bane
#

nvm it does tilt up

opal tiger
#

lowering to a 1/10

silent bane
#

What the hell :(

#

Im just glad it can get off the ground cuz that was my biggest issue

#

We all start somewhere ig

tropic jackal
#

We all start somewhere, to improve is to listen to feedback

#

Firstly the wing is and thruster is big

This is good and all
Except for the part regarding vertically stacking propellers, cos having a two layered propeller DOES produce exactly 2x the thrust of a single layer
The only thing that matters is sail distance from the propeller axis (so really the center sail blocks don't do produce any thrust), not really how many other sail blocks they're surrounded by

Unless of course you know that and you just don't want people to make planes with ugly propellers clueless

i was told otherwise by multiple reliable sources

#

can i see your testing methodology

#

i'm not doubting you

cyan sentinel
#

Sure thing, gimme a min

@opal tiger
(If you really want I can make a video later to show that the ship isn't static lol)

With a single layer, the equilibrium height is 101.9
Doubling the mass means that we need to double the force to reach the same equilibrium height
Slapping another layer of sails on top, and we get an equilibrium height of 101.9 again, as expected

And you can note that in the double layer propeller, I replaced the center sails with fence posts, and it still produced the expected thrust, because as I mentioned, the sails that are aligned with the propeller axis do not produce any thrust anyway

good testing

#

better than i would have done

#

i'll add a bit in the video desc

Glad I can help 3dsmile

He already addressed it

#

And make propeller a + shape

Wait... the physics infuser worked for you?

#

It didn't for me

#

So I had to use a physic bearing and work on that
