Funky Tree input question regarding to aircraft speed.

2,517 Aldriech  4.3 years ago

I am going to start experimenting on making an oblique flying wing prototype and I want the sweep wing system to be automatic but I don't know what input it is to make that happen. Basically when the plane starts picking up speed(e.g around 750km/h) the wing starts to swing slowly and when it breaks the sound barrier it will be fully swept by 60°. Can that be even done?

    @Aldriech
    208 m/s approx. 750 km/h
    127 = 335 - 208
    Where :
    335 m/s is a speed of sound
    208 m/s the speed at which wings will start to swing

    @Grob0s0VBRa thanks! But what do the numbers mean?

    @Aldriech
    Try this : clamp((IAS - 208) / 127,0,1)
