tunable airfoil characteristics

137k BaconEggs  3.5 years ago

idea i had just now of being able to tune the lift per degree of aoa in a wing

^graph of all 4 airfoils in the game


some context, im currently trying to simulate the behaviors of the tomcat and im using a combination of all 4 airfoils (now some assistance from rcs thrusters for specific stuff), would be a lot easier to get the lift right in all the spots

some pcs llmoa

    @ChrisPy as it is right now its pretty close to where i want it, most of the things i need to get in are the very specific behaviors (wing wagging, flat spins, roll reversal, engine stalls etc)
    i think the most amount of time ill spend on it is actually not building it since i have phases of interest in sp then go on month long breaks doing other stuff
    realistically id say by end of the year ill finish, or likely this fall since ill be out of school for good in about a week

    love the tomcat. hope its done sometime soon but it sounds like you are taking on quite a task.

    @BaconAircraft very astute

    assume a spherical tomcat in a vacuum.
    boom, no further empirical derivations for lift needed when there is no lift )))

    how do you get the nacaprop airfoil, or is that just for comparison?

    @DeezDucks thats the aim of the cardboard series of jets is to actually get finished

    Please, please let this be the one good Tomcat made out of the 6 good ones that actually gets finished... please.
