How do I make my plane more stable in KSP?
How do I make my plane more stable in KSP?
Some general pointers to make more stable aircraft, one is to set your COL just behind your COM , another is that your centre of drag should be as far back as possible – there’s no way to visually show this as far as I know but a light but aerodynamically bulky rear to an aircraft generally makes it more stable.
How do planes maintain stability?
Due to the particular wing shape the upper streamline accelerates, reaching a speed much higher than the lower streamline. This phenomenon causes a sharp reduction of the pressure above the wing and consequently a net force called lift that is large enough to sustain the airplane.
Why is my plane wobbling KSP?
Body deformation can be caused by heavy parts, many parts connected together, or forces on the plane. When your plane speeds up, it sounds like your lift could be pushing your nose into the runway causing deformation or an oscillation with the same effect.
Is Kerbal space program too hard?
Why This Game Is Difficult First of all, Kerbal Space Program is a simulation. It attempts to simulate real-life rocket science on a reasonably realistic level. But since Kerbal Space Program is rooted in real physics, things get hard. The game calculates a LOT of stuff all the time when you play.
Where should center of lift be KSP?
So, the best way to ensure that your little blue center of lift indicator is very close to your true center of lift, is to position your center of mass in the center of your fuselage. It’s easy to do this when you put heavy parts like engines in the middle and balance out fuel in front and in back of it.
Can airplane stable in the air?
Techincally, there is only one way for the aircraft to remain hanging motionless in the air: if weight and lift cancel each other out perfectly, and at the same time thrust and drag cancel each other out too. But this is incredibly rare. To stay in the air and sustain its flight, an aircraft needs to be moving forward.
How do you build Eva in KSP?
Activate construction mode by taking an Engineer on EVA, and clicking the construction hook icon on the right. To activate EVA Construction Mode, click the button on the top-right panel that looks like a crane hook. This brings up the EVA Construction UI.
