What airfoil would be best for my plane? It is a supersonic aircraft.
I know that symmetric is fast and low drag, semi-symmetric is medium for both, and that flat bottom is high drag but high lift.
The problem is, the aircraft lands waaaay too fast than I want it to (nearly 250 knots)
Also, second question…
How do I slow down the acceleration of my plane? It goes from 0 to 1000 KIAS in a couple seconds. Is there a XML thing or something else that can help slow the acceleration without effecting the max speed of the plane?
Also, my wings flex like hell, how do I fix it without changing the weight of the wings? I’ve tried connecting it to other parts already…
Thanks in advance
Somehow i got it down to ~200 knots for the landing speed
Oh, here is how the wing flex looks unlisted YouTube video
Ok, I timed it… It takes about 10 seconds from throttling up, to hitting 1000 knots
Ok, it worked perfectly,
I set the max power to 0.5 and the input to 20, works perfectly
@Coop09814 Yep, that will work. It will also create a lot of noise, so I would recommend using lower volume.
@TheFlightGuySP ok, here is a quote from u/Panthera-Draco on Reddit:
“ You could increase the input multiplier to 4 and reduce the power multiplier to 0.25 so that the engine spools up slowly to 4 times its normal maximum yet produce exactly its original amount of thrust at max.
Note that this will increase the length of the exhaust animation.”
So I will try it
@TheFlightGuySP I drastically decreased the weight (mostly because of the fuel in the wings)
@TheFlightGuySP I did fix the speed a bit, it can land around the same as the Concorde (roughly 200 knots)
@TheFlightGuySP ok, thanks
@Coop09814 I'm sure there is. I'm not sure what that would be, however.
@TheFlightGuySP thanks! The wing flex thing helped a lot!
It’s a small plane tho, so I don’t want any flaps or slats.
I don’t want to lower the power of the engine, maybe there is an xml code that can lower the acceleration of the engine speed itself?
