@rexzion It will be more worth the effort as you will end up with a superior machine. Also that comparison is flawed since even the most primitive of aircraft are vastly superior to the most modern helicopters.
You have a couple of options to make your life easier:
1. increase power
2. increase wing area
3. decrease weight
4. change mass distribution to improve stability
5. increase prop diameter for better power absorbtion and acceleration
6. add flaps
7. decrease drag, although this will have minimal effect at low speed
Did a simple test with a jet plane with symmetrical airfoils, here's the results:
Drag points: 911
Thrust: 6000 N
Top speed reached at sea level (IAS): 83 m/s
Thrust power assuming constant thrust: 6000 * 86 = 498000 W = 498 kW
The thrust power should be equal to the work done by the incoming air,
but I have no idea how to use this number to arrive back at 911. Obviously this is as simple as it gets and there are a lot more variables in reality, so the answer is probably in that. The wing area and weight of the aircraft turn out to play a role as well even though their effects are not reflected in the number of drag points.
Another hall of famer right here
Reminds me of one of those african planes
Absolutely phenomenal
@Planeacceleration I know, it wasn't serious
You're making a helicopter: strike 1
It's electric: strike 2
Reign hell on those laughable excuses of transport
@Hedero oof
I was slightly annoyed by the video but then realised I am also a daredevil who does not follow orders.
@Dad God damnit
Wait, how can u be my dad if ur 18
emginar
All aircraft canceled
The answer has always been there
dude yes
@Placeacceleration It's a fortunate son reference
@KnightOfRen SOME FOLKS WERE BORN
You know, this is really damn useful. Thank you!
head spun
When u maxxed out on simpleplanes

I recommend you to build a plane, since that is a superior type of vehicle.
disgusting
vtol barrel, a worthy opponent for the vtolfire?
@StepBro profound
ok
@xiaofootball That reminds me of some nuclear ramjet named the SLAM

We have come a long way
he vibin
@Isfsisyouman If you're on android it won't work anymore because it's not supported
That thing looks hurt..
Thats a strong helicopter lol
@robloxweponco

The Star Wars Canyon of simpleplanes
@rexzion Yes thats possible, as long as the shells are not explosive
How do you transfer the power through a bent shaft like that?
Murica
Because it's worth 30 upvotes. And that's not necessarily bad.
Oof
@RAF1 Just looked that up. How in the hell? Never heard of that one before...
Fun fact: The F-16 has a climb rate of 72.000 ft/min. Absolutely insane.
They are here
@MrPorg137 Yes
@MrPorg137 Because Britain
EGG-335 confirmed?
@Thecatbaron Np!
@rexzion Legend has it the designers were having some very strong tea the night before they took to the drawing board.
Happy birthday, have a VTOLFire!
Lmao
