I have an idea for a craft: A stingray inspired plane which will be gliding high above the surface for quite a long while or at least, for as long as possible.
reminds me of my "flying pancake" series, a myriad of planes that used a giant delta wing design, the idea was very high lift and lots of intakes to air hog up in the upper atmosphere, back in the days of the simple lift physics they could fly for hours, now I don't think they can even get to upper atmo with the high drag to thrust ratio of current game
I like this video. As to the problem you encountered when changing back to landing gear and how it caused the craft to pop up then back down where you planed to build the hotel and casino, you might want to consider two different departure / arrival configurations for your craft. The first would be horizontal where this is used for departure and arrival at your home base the planet from which you originally departed from. In this case you are using the wheels. The second configuration would be a vertical configuration for arrival and departure from the hotel and casino. In this case would not use the wheels to land the craft or take off. But rather the legs that hold the craft up when landing wheels are retracted. This alliveates the need for your wheels to be enguadged in the first place Moreover this might solve the potential of unintended damage to the craft as a result of enguadging the wheels. Just a thought.
I know this may be a bit late but to stop the wobbling caused by the landing legs you have to right click them toggle the spring strength advanced tweakable then drag the damper strength all the way to the right. Hope that helps!

Hey Matt, I was sorta thinking... unless I’ve missed something, I haven’t seen any “Habitation Series” on your channel, and I think it would be very cool if you would do that, not many people do that, sadly. Thank you!
Holy crap this game actually looks so fun and so good, i really wonder if aerospace engineers uses this for practice, since it has some pretty accurate physics going on
Awesome SSTO! Probably Squat doesn't want to have fuel dumping on fuel tanks that new players would use. Also dumping highly reactive liquids in space would react with other parts on your ship.
today i tried to make an ssto i looked okay but this is what happend when i launched it 1) the cabin wasent attached to the fuselage properly 2) i forgot the intake so i was already buring up fuel quickly 3) the cabin started humping the fuselage 4) i fired up nuclear engine 5) it stared to spin uncontrollably 6) most of the dam thing fell apart and than crashed into the sea
if your craft is bouncing then you need to up the dampers. the legs have springs and dampers (like car suspension) the springs will just keep going while the dampers will release the energy elsewhere.
Have you tried designing a version of this aircraft with diamond-shaped wings (like on the F-22 Raptor or F-35 Lightning) incorporated into a closed-wing system? I wonder if such a wing design would improve upon this aircraft's aerodynamics in some way or another?
I love that you went through the effort of naming the Rockomax fuel tank and I was like huh then you said big orange one and I knew instantly what you’re talking about. The most recognizable fuel tank for any early ksp player

Safe yes, reassuring for passengers not so much. People freak out when they hear anything is nuclear powered since most have a very limited understanding if it.
@@SemlerPDX It. Was. A. Joke. The joke was that what we call "space" is not actually a total vaccuum. It's just so low the speed of sound is 0.4 meters per second. But due to the low density, the only sound waves that can effectively propagate are waves less than about 0.5 hz. There is not a reason to be condescending.
@@SemlerPDX I was not referring to the fact that the craft is at hypersonic speeds because it is in orbit. I was referring to the fact that it was hypersonic because while space is a total vacuum in some areas, in low earth orbit where many of these crafts operate, the air density is still dense enough to influence the orbit over time, and gas particles are close enough together to interact, just very very slowly. I'm sorry that you missed that joke, and that you misunderstood.
Now you may be wondering why page 7 has been omitted from this edition. Kerbin Associated Press are currently working closely with Lowne Aerospace to resolve the issue as quickly as possible, and any questions regarding the omission of page 7 will not be answered.
What about a modular boxwing style (with micro-station in orbit for swapping 'modes) with separate stages for atmospheric, LKO (low KERBIN orbit) and maybe inter-planetary, along with maybe re-kerbin entry? - Rapiers on the atmospheric - high delta burning for esaping LKO and and secondary ones for deaccel at desto, with ion for interplanetary - maybe an ablative re-entry 'layer' that docks on for easy reentry, even at high speed/bad angles.
Did he? There's not a lot of archive footage of the Ekranoplan so the "IRL" footage would be the same. Don't see any actual clips from my video, unless I'm blind?
Wow, you built a whole spaceship. When I became interested in this game, I decided to try to play it. Alas, every rocket that I have created has always exploded when trying to take off. (It’s good that on the board didn’t have a crew. I would be doubly sorry that brave astronauts died because of me.)
Poodz a box wing is a solution to the infinite wing theory which effectively eliminates drag from wing tip vortices and other aerodynamic effects. Bi-planes definitely have wingtip vortices.
Although I know nothing about spacecraft, most modern commercial aircraft are designed such that if they are fully loaded with passengers, cargo, and fuel, they exceed their maximum takeoff weight. Don't worry too much about trying to load it to the gills.
I haven't play in awhile and I was never very good, but I always liked the idea of the SSTOs so this was very entertaining to watch. I really like the box wing design too.

the build part is the only part parents want to watch as it is educational :D
