Lift-providing wings

21.8k F4f879  7.3 years ago

Are semi-symmetric wing blocks always necessary to give plane wings lift, or can a semi symmetric shape simulated by sculpted fuselage blocks also provide enough lift? Also, how does one successfully embed wing blocks into fuselage cases? I've seen it on a few WWII planes but can never successfully replicate it.

    @F4f879 The fuselages are merely stylistic. I mean the actual wing pieces. It's a low speed prop, so flat bottom provides it with the lift it needs. Adding weight to the tail helps bring the CoM closer to the CoL, so that it won't feel nose heavy

    Thanks @KCferrari ! So do u mean make the wing blocks'airfoil flat bottom or make the fuselages have a flat bottom?

    @F4f879 Make the main wings flat bottom, and add about 800 lbs to the tail end of the fuselage, and it should be far more responsive. Also @Braydonsjej Do not accuse people of theft without reading. The predecessor chain links only to HIS own planes.

    Fuselage pieces provide zero lift. Wing pieces are always required. To embed a wing, you first create the entire fuselage form, and then attach the wing piece above or below, at the root of the wing. You then nudge the part into place. (shift+qweasd) I'd recommend mirroring your wing parts before moving each into place manually in order to avoid asymmetrical attachments forming.
