Building The Fastest Possible Wind Powered Aircraft!

You can go faster then the wind by only windpower in trailmakers just like sailboats do it. The problem with this in trailmakers is keeping the boat from tilting. I have exceeded windspeed in TM by more then double but doing this at 700kph is gonna be a challenge.

[@kurtisam]

same. i also took it a step further and made a drone with some UFO engines (not for power but for side to side resistance, like a keel) and was able to get to around 3000 mph doing laps around the map.

ScrapMan, what's the fastest plane you've made/subscribed to so far in Trailmakers? Could you fly that plane Into the wind until you reach the edge of the high seas map?

[@kurtisam]

it is possible to reach the edge of the map, its just super hard. the same thing happens as in other maps.

[@spikepillow3301]

There are still those floating logs in the water in the High Seas, right? This is vague but I wonder if we (as the community) could make some kind of challenge relating to them.

[@knightbeforedawn]

Multiplayer Monday challenge to collect them and each player builds a craft to pick them up and they have to carry them with themwhoever collects the most in 5 minutes (or whatever's fair)

[@spikepillow3301]

@@knightbeforedawn Here's a potential twist: The logs have to be loose and not held in place by a tractor beam. Though I suppose a tractor beam could be used to place them on the craft

[@the_andrewgrech]

Gonna throw a guess out there... perhaps while a vehicle is rotating on its axis, that is calculated into the speed of the creation. That is my guess why when you hit the water, the speed increased; the partial impact with the water caused the vehichle to quickly rotate, which in turn increased the speed shown. I don't know how speed is calculated in this game, and that is why it's only a guess.

[@awol_b]

it could be you getting launched out of the water because of the rotation

[@marshahouson9io649]

Speak English

[@Rhyno186]

Exactly what I was thinking. When the lower part of the vehicle hits the water, it slows down dramatically, but the part above water gets snapped forward and down, causing the speed calculation to jump, assumedly measuring the speed at the tip.

[@villagernumber7882]

Suggestion: you should name that sail craft "the mundinaut" (its a play on the Latin words mundi and nautae which literally translates into "The world Sailor") I feel that it's a fitting name for your sail craft

[@DaStuntChannel]

10:53, the speed is calculated at the center of mass probably, since it touched water with the bottom part of the ship, it tilted down really fast, which made the center of mass go faster, like a wheel through the road, the part that is contacting the ground is at 0 speed and the opposite part of the wheel is at double of the current speed

[@DaStuntChannel]

Actually I'm wrong, that would be the case if the speed is calculated at the center of geometry...

[@raphaelrutigliano1175]

Scrapman, I don't know if you realized, but you hit 760 once you touched the water a couple of times. If you build a sailkite that can barely touch and drift along the water, we might have a win here.

[@C.I.T.]

Scrapman didn't pass the sound barrier, he passed the physics barrier.

[@creativenametxt2960]

I mean, it makes sense that ingame you break the sound barrier when you are going a certain speed relative to the ground, but shouldn't it actually be the speed relative to the wind? Wind is basically moving air, so irl you should be working in the reference frame of the wind.

[@cjslime8847]

Imagine forcing yourself to stand still on faster then sound wind

Idea: Try to replicate how surfers ride the waves, since the ones at the edge of the map are so insanely huge and fast it would certainly look awesome

[@ezrarichardson279]

Most sailboats can go faster then the wind while tacking (going sideways to the wind) except if they have to much drag. The veritasium video was about going faster then the wind directly downwind, completely different.

[@Dannoprime]

would be interesting to see if you used gimbals to keep the creation oriented in a position then maximising sails efficincy to push / get pussed in one direction

[@barrybend7189]

4:49 your catching water currents or water drag which is shearing your craft apart.

[@notschniz2365]

The reason of you going co sisterly 724 is because of, well you said it, gravity. Considering you can’t go faster than the wind parallel to the wind, the only other way you can go faster is through gravity. But because you built a box of sails, the air resistance in all directions is basically ridiculously high, so your downwards speed is being severely limited by your ridiculous air resistance, causing you to have an extremely low terminal velocity of 4 mph (or was it kph I didn’t see). This makes the entire craft feel extremely light, because you can fall extremely slowly, which means along with auto-rotation, I believe this might be one of the most interesting ways to slow your fall (video idea?). Also, in order to reach maximum velocity, you would want to get your air resistance at the direction the wind is blowing at a maximum, while making sure the air resistance towards the direction of gravity is at a minimum. You would need to get really high on the initial jump tho because you are going to lose altitude really quickly like this.

[@ozonelow706]

Love your videos I’ve been watching them for a long time now.

[@ARockyRock]

Theory as to why you can only go 720 when you touch the water for a sec: The game only checks if you are going 720 in one direction at a time. When you tap the water, part of the speed is going down into the water so the game keeps accelerating you in the direction of the wind. Basically, you were still going 720 following the wind but you had some more speed in a different direction that was messing with things. aaand in the time it took me to type this you already figured this out lol

[@knightbeforedawn]

If you have sails facing each other they add thrust in relatively oposing directions. If the sails are orientated the same way as eachother, the thrust will be in the same direction. It's all based on their orientation to the winds direction. A sailboat will use a combination of mast rotation and rudders in the water to stabilize and redirect that into forward motion. I wonder if this translates to Trailmakers accurately?

I was having a similar glitch recently, (not in the DLC) where in the builder, some blocks would not have the config pop-up and couldn't be deleted or multi-selected. The only way to get rid of them was to reload the game, which was annoying to say the least if I was trying to save a creation. I attributed it to the beta mirror mode and my not-so-fast laptop, but now I think it's a whole slew of bugs in the newest update.

Try getting to the sky box, if it exists? Maybe the wind effect don't apply that high up? Then drop in to the corner from above with your sail box.

[@spacewalk3046]

if you are gonna use sails on propellers id suggest u also try using paddles cuz they were the fastest thing to use for props before the update, even in air compared to all the other aerodynamic parts and id suggest u use the speed glitch when u set joints to the speed -100 (use the rotating servos) cuz then youll achieve the fastest speeds. But if u use more than i think 2 servos, they get offset form eachother so just like with ur ornithopter but underwater attempt, it will act as a reaction wheel because the servos are offset, so far the only way ive found to counteract this is just a keel if u are using it for a boat or just something that spins creating a countertorque at a certain speed.

The fact that it's going sideways faster make sense because you don't have any forward drag everything is just getting carried along on the Wind. If you think of it more along the lines of fluid dynamics with fluid of the air is rushing past it so quickly that being open sideways and having your wings horizontal would carry you at least 720

[@jaunusender6166]

Since you're being pushed forward by the wind the wind ahead of you would be slower and create more drag

Hi Scrapman, sorry english is not my mothertong. I think, as water in montain river, air in wind can be use as a "support" for acceleration force. Like a oar in water during rafting, you can mime the movements and articulations of a bird to push air in the wind. That sould probably push the limit of 720 kph

[@Diekyl]

ScrapMan, you mentionned Veritasium as I was going to write it in my comment :P If the simulation is close enough to reality, you should be able to go faster if you fly in the wind at an angle instead of going straight parallel. It is true that if you sail parallel to the wind, your maximum speed is the actual speed of the wind, but if you sail for instance at 45° then your theoretical max speed would be roughly ~1.4x the speed of the wind (Pythagoras).
