    At 10:34 you say: " Even though we had more than twice the thrust, we didn't have twice the speed" and you wouldn't have. There are several factors, but the main one is that the drag quadruples when the speed doubles (Fd=0,5*ro*V^2 *S*Cd), so if all of the other factors would be omitted you should only go about 40% quicker.

    I suspect the GPS is only giving you ground speed - which is only accurate if you were flying horizontally. It looks like in the initial phase, you were flying with a high incline so the actual speed would have been more than the ground speed. If you flew straight up, the GPS would record a very low lateral speed.

      @@TheKamiBunny To get velocity, you'll have to integrate the acceleration over time which introduces a lot of errors due to the noise from the accelerometers. In theory yes, in practice this won't work well. If you mean getting the angle of incline - then you'll need some sort of angle estimation, which could work (assuming you include gyros) but due to latency in the process, the computation might be more complex than possible for a cheap small device like that.

I also made the first drag racer using B and C engines depending on the distance available. I would use 10 pound fishing line as the guild. If no guild was used the drag racer would run wild. I used a 2x4 and cut it down and added free wheels on steel axels drilled through the 2x4. Used eyelet screws as guild also tried rocket tube guilds.

    Looks like the 60s Dyna-Soar prototype! Remember that there's a significant vertical component to your actual airspeed, not only the speed scrubbed by a high takeoff angle; those simple GPS units only measure your speed parallel to the ground. Think of it like a 30 60 90 triangle with the shortest side against the ground. That is the only side of the triangle the GPS you have measured, which if used on an R/C car is completely fine. However, your airspeed was most likely MUCH higher than that! You need a combo GPS/altimeter with a fast refresh rate (like a Pixhawk 4 or better ~$200) to track your flight path in 3 dimensions with respect to time. Pixhawk also has pitot tubes and modules, although the're likely a bit heavy for that. Awesome stuff, though!

    Here’s a quick tip- drag can easily be lowered by increasing the angle of the wings. This does lower lift, but at the thrust to weight ratio that you have it should not be too big of an issue. You could also look into specialised aerofoils if you want to pull as much speed out of this plane as possible.

    Fun fact, when building a smoke tunnel it works better to have a basic straight chamber and to have suction out the back. This results in the smoke being more stable and less turbulent than when blown from the front. Keep up the awesome content! Love watching these projects

      I've not built an actual RC plane (yet!) but I'm sure watching channels like FliteTest, Peter Sripol, and more of this channel will help you learn stuff, along with looking at forums, and just trying to build it yourself to learn from your mistakes. Most of the skills I've learned so far were about 50% TH-cam, 20% forums, and 30% doing.

    I had a 2 engine Saturn IB model that used two C engines that I attempted to fly when I was young back in 1974. It only flew once because only one of the two engines ignited. It somersaulted and landed flat on it's side breaking one of the fins. I couldn't find the part that broke off and didn't dare fly it again. I should have used the one D engine instead. It could use either 1 D or 2 Cs. My hat's off to you for getting all six engines to ignite.

    @randyeller8139 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Did a very rudimentary version of this back in the late 90’s. A single C-motor with an 18 inch wingspan. Motor was on a nacelle under the nose.The thrust swung the wings back into a delta configuration and after the motor ejected it lightened the nose enough to pitch up as a rubber band pulled the wings out like an F-14. From there it glided back down unguided to a soft low speed landing. Crude but fun!

  • @michaelhartzell9758
    @michaelhartzell9758 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Move front wings back to increase lift. It will be more difficult to fly but that's not what those motors were designed for. Nowadays with all the technology right at your fingertips, sometimes it just takes trial and error to get the best results. You could also use zero delay motors and stage them so the D's fire while in the air. You could also launch directly vertical which should increase your flight time ( if you could control it!).

    You could port the ejection charge gasses from the booster motors to ignite the shuttle motor.

    Something to keep in mind, a GPS speedometer like that does very poorly measuring instantaneous velocity. You might have ended up considerably faster at the end of the boost phase than your speedometer indicated, just because the distance-and-time measurements might well have checked both sides of the peak.

Everything wired right, it took off like crazy, it went up 1000 ft turned as it loops and came in like the space shuttle, it was awesome. Used the same fuselage and everything 4 times until hit a tree

  • @danielakerman8241
    @danielakerman8241 ปีที่แล้ว

    The two stage ideas others mentioned is decent, but you’d still be using up a stage to overcome inertia at liftoff. I think the best answer would be to build an rc plane, perhaps a scale model of a hypersonic ramjet design, and build in two rocket stages that can be ignited remotely in level flight.

    LW-PLA would be nice for that nose cone and maybe the wings. It foams making it harder to prevent stringing with but better for things that don't need to be super strong or are given strength by their surface area and design rather than brute forcing stronger materials like the nose cone and wings.
