    This is one of the things that KSP really excels at: rapid iteration of design. With this, it is possible to do trial and error for our designs and it makes building really fun. You'll always be like, "what if I do that? will doing this have any effect?" etc. Of course it's frustrating at times, but still fun and satisfying esp if you are able to achieve what you want. I can only imagine how Matt felt when his design finally worked.
    Oh and yeah, this is really really helpful for players(like me) attempting to build SSTOs. For example, I learned in Matt's videos to add whiplash engines to my SSTOs to help it gain some speed in the lower atmosphere. It proved to be really helpful.

    How I make SSTOs
    1: Make a plane
    2: Slap a crap ton of engines on it
    3: Put more fuel tanks on it
    4: Make it look cool
    Also, can you please make a tutorial on how to land sstos because I cannot land anything on Kerbin or not

      Make sure your landing run is lined up with the runway and may be very useful to come in low to the runway level till you get used to it... Keep the nose up and glide in if your craft can handle it...
      Keep engines on a tiny fraction just in case you need it, so you don't just fall out of the air at random point

    Edit I realized I forgot the issue, it nearly hits the ground when it falls of the runway, same with moonlight but last time I edited that it made its deltaV go from 5k to 3k so I added a refueler to it...

    Maths who needs it ;P
    Nice How To-ish video. I struggle with my SSTO plane designs, although thinking on things I think it is due to not having enough non-atmosphere engines on my designs. Well not enough engines and too much fuel. After a number of iterations I tend to get a little frustrated and then start strapping on some boosters, or just toss a large rocket behind it(or in front of it) and the plane becomes a payload.
    My latest design I did not have enough engines or fuel on it by far and quickly became a payload. I then proceeded to take it to the Mun and going why do I have wings on this thing for flying around the Mun and Minmus they don't have an atmosphere to use the wings in and proceeded to remove the wings on the next iteration.

  • @Xenro66
    @Xenro66 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    One major problem I keep having in designing huge SSTOs is passing Mach1. A lot of them have a fairly high TWR, accelerate quickly and can even take off halfway down the runway, but as soon as it hits 340m/s, there's a sudden spike in drag and I can't accelerate. Even if I climb to 10km and nosedive, I break that speed, but immediately slow down once I level out again.
    Anyone know why this is happening? I currently use 1 R.A.P.I.E.R per 20t starting mass.

    • @jeffvader811
      @jeffvader811 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      The thrust of the RAPIERs drops slightly at about mach 1, I believe this is to simulate transonic drag without having to actually implement it into the aero-model.
      The best solution I can offer would be to add moar boosters, perhaps use 1 RAPIER per 15t of starting mass. A technique I saw on the forums once was to use drop off SRBs to kick you past that breaking point, not technically SSTO but still cheap if you're playing career.

    • @Xenro66
      @Xenro66 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks for the suggestion! I'll try 15t/R.A.P.I.E.R from now on. And yeah, I knew about the attempt to simulate transonic drag, but damn is it annoying xD.
      As for adding SRBs in career, that's just a fact. SSTOs don't really matter in a career sense

  • @eekee6034
    @eekee6034 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    I'm not very good at trial and error or math! XD But I've got a few good LKO SSTOs. My real problem there is I pick designs which are hard to modify to add more fuel & stuff. With the SSTO in this video, small fuel tanks can be clipped with the wings, the whole thing can be lengthened, etc. With my favourite designs, the ~wings~ lifting surfaces are too much a part of the whole style to make either of those changes. Having said that, in one of my designs the engines are on pods on the wing-tips and I really should add fuel to those pods; changing structural fuselages into tanks. It's just that doing it properly means replacing 4 of the 6 wings. Oh hang on, now I've removed the carefully flush-fitted solar panels, that wouldn't be so bad. Hmm!
    But I also just made an ugly bug which won't look any worse no matter how I modify it. XD That one has 4400m/s after the rapiers have used all of the rather plentiful supply of oxidizer, and mining kit too.

    In my experience, the sweet spot is have one RAPIER for, at max 15 tons of craft. Majes huge SSTOS very difficult to build. To a point that I wonder a vertical taking off SSTO wouldn't be better, ditch the RAPIERs for rocket engines.

    Isn't this called an sste (Single Stage To Eeloo)?

      i make SSTOs (Single Stage To Ocean) they work very well

      I mean if they're built to go to the ocean and they make it to the ocean, I'd say it's a job well done

      If you draw them in a venn diagram, not all SSTO's are SSTE's (or SSTEAB's) but all SSTE's (or SSTEAB's) are, necessarily, SSTO's.

    Whenever I try to make an ssto or a space plane, as soon as I clear the runway, the plane just flips and I cant get control of it. Any1 know how I can stop this?

      -Make sure your centre of mass is far ahead of your centre of lift (both when fully fuelled and when empty).
      -Engines in KSP are very heavy, so sometimes having loads of them at the back of your plane makes it more unstable, putting all the engines in the middle of your craft or some at the back and the front can help offset that issue.
      The KSP forums is probably the best place for questions like this, that's where I usually go.

      Move center of mass in front of center of lift, by moving the wings backwards. If it rotates sideways put a larger tail on it. The extreme case is an arrow. Center of mass behind the center of lift is like trying to throw an arrow backwards.

    Hey Matt, I got something for realism mode.
    Can you, using an expendable F9, return 2kg of moon rock without going over one hundred million dollars total cost?

    You should make an Interstellar/Light speed spacecraft. Plz. That would be cool.

    @kermitkerman8794 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    « Not the most efficient method-> trial and error » true BUT you start to feel what will/won’t work eg:
    New SSTO/rocket (having tried a previous vessel) :
    Yeah looks good don’t think it make it « I’ll try anyway »
    Nope didn’t think so
    Fidel ajust add remove...
    Right that should work but only just, might get unstable at X m/s or X m tho..
    Better than I thought but too unstable....

  • @BlackCharg3r345

    matt can you please make an ssto that is similar to the archangel v2 but with an isru? i like sstos with isru because if you run out of fuel you can turn on th
    e converter and not feel bad about it where as no miners kinda piss me off. please make one matt
