you can't believe how much I love this perfect mix between pure gameplay, roleplay and storytelling. your soothing voice, the music, the editing make it all such an enjoyable experience
31:29 You had the sad music on the entire flight, the one which indicates that a kerbal would be lost. I could feel tears coming up in my eyes. But finally, the aircraft touched down safely, and that was the biggest moment of relief in my life.
Just want to throw this out there, part of the swept wing design is to keep the wings inside the mach cone of the aircraft. This way the entire wing is supersonic and it significantly reduces drag past mach 1. I'm sure there's more advantages and disadvantages but that's about all I know :P
It pushes the critical mach up so you have more control at higher speeds because the center of pressure is moved away from your control surfaces. It's the difference between your plane being uncontrolable at mach 1 or mach 2.5
@@N9GamingOfficial I don't know how relevant this will be to KSP but Real Engineering made a good video on swept wings and what they do. th-cam.com/video/GXFpLnPpDtY/w-d-xo.html
Not a joke when I say this is one of the best KSP videos ever made! From the choices of music to the framing of shots, this was simply angelic. Thank you so much for all the time and effort you have put into this video, and all the other videos you make.
I enjoy this series very much. I find the different takes of you and the Beardy Penguin to be very entertaining. You going for a very documentary feeling while Penguin gives us snippets of life in the Union of Kerbal Socialist Republics. Keep up the good work.
This series has to be one of the most engaging collaborative efforts I have seen for Kerbal space program ever, keep it up! The production value is through the roof.
Wow, this video is pure perfection. The Music had me on the edge of my seat the whole time when a crewed flight was happening. And your narration is magnificent! You deserve more recognition! I'm guessing you'll put the first man into space. Again, this video was amazing.
Holy shit the sound track that you used here was beautiful and the narration was amazing! I don’t want to say it but it almost made me cry lol. Awesome video man keep it up and never stop
Im binging the whole playlist again while we wait for the moon landing video to come out and im still so shocked and impressed that the first lunar impactor mission was done within 2 years of the first satellite and was the 6th orbital flight ever attempted by you in this series and it was a complete success. Like thats extremely impressive, my goodness.
truly an emotional thrill ride of a video, thank you so much, every flight is is hopeful, but fearful. The ending is a true work of art as the satellite crashes on the moon, it was goosebumps. Amazing editing and story telling.
I thought u guys were doing 1 year per episode. Not complaining, great video! Your production quality is going through the roof dude, keep it up and can't wait to see more.
you've really captured the thrill of the space race, I'm on the edge of my seat during each of the manned missions... could this be their last one? outstanding work.
Beardy making a plane: "so we need the transonic roll derivatives to compensate for the change in the lift distribution on the wing changing as it approaches mach." N9 making a plane: "so if it looks faster it will go faster."
You should give the wings on your aircraft some implicit angle to allow for level takeoffs and lower landing and takeoff speeds. Same goes to The Beady Penguin. When doing this one must make sure that the centre of lift is not too far from the centre of mass, and must account for transient effects where the centre of lift will move depending on how fast and how high you are flying, but it allows for much more efficient aircraft design. Use FAR to tell you if you've achieved a wing angle that provides the best lift to drag ratio during level flight, usually it's about 5 degrees. I'd also recommend some airbrakes for more controlled landings, if you don't have a mod with airbrakes you can just use procedural control surfaces and have them deflect 90 degrees or so.
@@N9GamingOfficial Excellent :) Just a few more tips then, when you're looking at the FAR logs: 1: The pitch rotational moment line (I think it's yellow? Can't remember) should be slanted diagonally downwards like this \, i.e. with positive angles of attack it should want to pitch down and vice versa. The more slanted it is, the more intrinsically stable it is, but the harder it will be to turn. 2: The y intercept for this line should be near 0, if it's high the aircraft will tend to want to pitch up horrifically the faster you go, if it is below 0 it will tend to pitch down horrifically as you fly faster (and thus probably plunge you into the ground immediately after takeoff!). Test fly every aircraft in a simulation before you build it, particularly to begin with; aircraft with implicit angles are much harder to get right than those without and a lot more engineering principles must be observed. 3: Be sure to simulate your aircraft in FAR in regular intervals across your entire flight regime, I tend to do it in Mach 0.2 increments, for both the highest altitude that you intend to fly it and at sea level. Don't just test the highest and lowest flight speeds as FAR does simulate transient effects so e.g. when you're going through the transonic region it can become unstable (FAR has a cross-section feature to help manage this, use this to remove sharp changes in cross-section, it's in the final FAR tab I believe it was - the cross-section line doesn't need to be perfectly flat but the flatter the better). Swept wings help tremendously with this and also reduce drag and improve stalling characteristics at supersonic speeds, the higher the Mach number, the more swept they should be but this will reduce low speed performance and lead to a greater tendency to stall at low speeds, this link should be kept in mind: (www.grc.nasa.gov/www/k-12/airplane/machang.html) as if you exceed the Mach number for your wing's sweep angle drag will increase dramatically and the wings will suffer various negative effects (mae-nas.eng.usu.edu/MAE_5420_Web/section7/section.7.3.pdf). 4: Also be sure to test it in FAR and in simulations with flaps down and airbrakes out at landing speed (in the range x0.9-x1.5 for safety) as this can heavily impact centre of lift relative to centre of mass. 5: The FAR lines will deviate to show stall, the light line shows flight dynamics during stall. This is vastly more important with implicit angle, I find a stall angle of about 12 degrees is safe. To be extra safe you might want your airbrakes at the back of your aircraft or a rescue drogue shoot to recover from flat spins which can happen if you stall out. To recover from a flat spin, point downwards using full yaw and once airflow is stable over the wings pull out slowly (not exceeding the stall angle). I have many more tips I'm happy to provide, Aerospace Engineer here :) If we're roleplaying just imagine I've stolen a bunch of research from TheBeadyPenguin's research department and defected to the US programme, Decusyev Kermanilov from the USSR ;D
Definitely archiving this. When we get around to constructing the X15 - and maybe an F-100? - I am going to reference what you've provided and try to get it right. Cheers!!

Wow, very nice. Congratulations on 5K subscribers (6K now!), it's very well earned! Those shots of the long plane looking up at the stars, and that parting shot of the satellite between Earth and the Moon... so good. This is officially my favorite KSP series.

Ive had to scrap a mission in the past because of this.

I spent the last few days rewatching the whole thing just to recap before these were dropped!!! You guys are doing amazing!!

There she is, the 1 hour video. I have to say though this is probably the best episode, good music, good roleplay, good storytelling.
