@SweptBackWing14 good idea!

Gonna concentrate more on school. @MethaManAircraft

@SweptBackWing14 don't worry just continue with what you do or put a lot of effort into a build and take your time :)

Maybe people don't like my new designs.

@MethaManAircraft

Every time I build a naval ship, it revives my account. I guess I will have to do that. @MethaManAircraft

No one looks at them I do not know why. @MethaManAircraft

@SweptBackWing14 Why?

No I won't. No one is going to me since the update. @MethaManAircraft

@SweptBackWing14 thanks! You'll make it there in no time!

Oh and congrats on recent gold. @MethaManAircraft

I only recently moved from wing geometry, to air-foils, so sorry about the ailerons. I thought it looked weird with an appropriate verticle stabilizer. @MethaManAircraft

I agree with you completely. @MethaManAircraft

@SweptBackWing14 It is really nice, as you said, to find someone as interested as you in aeronautical engineering and aerodynamics! The only problem with the down aileron is the adverse yaw caused by the lift. This game is almost a dream come true with not only the flying aspect but most importantly: the building! I only wish that the physics were that of reality (impossible) and that THE WINGS WERE ACTUAL AEROFOILS! ...and a few more things...

Even on a site like this, it is hard to find someone who likes the engineering aspect. Most of them only like the way it looks. @MethaManAircraft

I see you also really like aeronautical engineering and would hope to study it too. So maybe you also already knew the stuff I typed up. I hope you choose to respond. It drives me crazy not to know something(such as if you read this) @MethaManAircraft

All this would decrease the size a mobile device playing the game can play without crashing. @MethaManAircraft

The game thinks, "Oh, the stab is going down, less lift then" This is wrong, that is only right for the tail end of the aircraft. If the aileron is up, it only affects airflow on the top of the aircraft, making the pressure higher, and causing the wing to sink. When the aileron is down, it only affects the bottom of the wing, forcing the pressure to increase at the bottom, making the top lighter in comparison, and rising the wing. But at the front, it affects the wing foiling of the plane, meaning flow on both of the wings is helped or hampered. Meaning at the front, it can go DOWN and still create lift, but if it goes down tooooo far, it will create less lift, and the aircraft will sink. @MethaManAircraft

With the effort that went into this game, that would take too much additional time to code. Leading edge flaps work. Leading edge stabs don't work either. Or at least I don't think. Leading edge stabs on an aircraft make the wing into a flat bottom wing instead of a semi symmetric when deployed down. While this does create higher pressure on the top of the wing, it still makes the pressure on the bottom of the wing so high, that it creates more lift in the end. This is only used on takeoff and landing, because while it creates more lift, flat bottom aircraft slow the plane down more than semi symmetric. @MethaManAircraft

Sorry about taking 5 hours to respond, the game usually notifies me of comments, but not this time. @MethaManAircraft

Well, with the way the game works, parts generate lift even when they are inside of other parts, so we would have to wait for an update that changes that. Commonly, people exploit this to make their wing loading better, and their planes more stable. @MethaManAircraft

@SweptBackWing14 nice plane! but do the slats actually work as intended?

@Supercraft888 @Ephwurd @MethaManAircraft Thank you very much. This means a lot to me.

Yeah, I am afraid that if I balance it, it will experience reduced maneuverability. If you put about 45% VTOL up, it should be fine. @Coltonlane

Thank you very much @Struller78 I appreciate it.

Oh. Forgot to mention that the leading edge slats go in when the gear goes up. Took forever to find a piston that does that on the site. @Franticmatty
