May 16, 2016 · Advanced Jet Engine gives jets, propellers, and rotors realistic performance in KSP. NathanKell's valiant efforts have made stock performance much more reasonable in recent versions of KSP, but it's still a very long way from realistic.

Oct 9, 2013 · KSP lift model is a simple curve - wings give tiny ift at zero AOA, lots of lift at 20 degrees, and less lift after that. What this means is Canards don't stall before the main wing in KSP, unless you give them a notch of trim-up rotation in the SPH.

Jun 5, 2014 · The in-game information as well as the current KSP wiki article on jet engines give some indication on the performance of jet engines in KSP. However they are usually not enough when building optimized SSTO's. This is why I started analysing the vanilla engine components.

May 22, 2016 · Now I finally can recreate the P-38, my favorite WW2 era plane. Can I suggest some parts for this pack? Firstly, a Razorback cockpit addition that would turn the mk1 inline cockpit from a bubble top canopy into a razorback like this:

Nov 15, 2015 · For an easy way to reach altitude in the early game: build a basic Juno-powered jet, but strap a Swivel or a few Thuds/Twitches onto it. Fly as high as you can on the Junos, then light the fireworks and lift the nose.

Feb 25, 2023 · The KSP 2 Aerodynamic System seems to be a tad bugged atm. That could be the issue atm Yeah, I made a plane that has a COL right near the COM and it has no maneuverability at all.

Feb 18, 2014 · Advanced Jet Engine is a mod that provides realism for turbojet, turbofans, air-breathing rockets, propellers and rotors in KSP. If you're concerned with how real airplanes perform or you're a flight simulator fan, this mod is for you.

Feb 16, 2016 · It must be a plane, not a rocket with a bunch of jet engines attached. This must be in KSP version 1.0.5 or later! Provide aircraft name! Down here is the leaderboard where the current record holder's are displayed. Leaderboard Radieur Ng - 3056 M/S "Pointy McGoFast" JW2016 - 3276 M/S "JW2016-02-17" Potatto 2729 M/S "Speed-O-Bust"

Sep 12, 2017 · The aerodynamic performance of 2.5metre parts is one of the best kept secrets of Kerbal Space program. Look at this simple rocket I made. All of these tanks hold 800 units of LF /O, are going at the same speed and angle of attack to the airflow, and have the same altitude.

Aug 21, 2015 · Once at around mach 5 however, it will give enough acceleration to shoot a plane into space at near orbital velocity at apoapsis. Real life scramjets will not work until around mach 5, however I decided to lower the threshold for a few reasons.
