KSP Harpy VTOL and How To (100% Stock)

[@rethguals]

Holy shit, that was amazing. My best attempt at a VTOL jet was a tiltjet design: - Vertical takeoff was technically possible, but the transition to horizontal put the plane into a tumble that killed the pilot half the time - Horizontal flight was medicore - Vertical landing also technically possible, but only because I used a shitload of parachutes to do it

[@WillmacLMCD]

Algorythm brought me here, didnt know you before so I think you're going to grow friend! Good video!

[@unsafestcolt2766]

f12 thank you, Your the first person to actually tell me how to pull it up the overlay and for that I am grateful, thank you

[@whiterhino4969]

I really like the design of this craft. VTOL aircraft have always given me problems. Thanks for the video! Subbed

[@bluepurple512]

"passenger bombs" amazing

[@dark6.6E-34]

A huge tip for controlling the wheesley engine for vtol is to calculate / by trial, figure out how much engine thrust it takes to put your craft at equilibrium. Then right click and pin the engine menu keeping an eye on its thrust.

[@griffin7901]

Turns out other people are good at making vtol jets. Yours is the best KZbinrs one I have seen yet.

[@AspiringD3v]

vtol sounds cool, looks like i have something to do tomorrow

[@ssenzalx]

This sp helpful man. Thanks for the great work

[@windelkrecker]

i think the algorythm is picking you up mate!1!1

[@jamesjones5345]

Nice this helped me with my first VTOL just now thanks 🙏🏾

[@GSF404]

Very nice design dude. Great video. 👍

[@PhilThurston64]

This is really a gorgeous little aircraft.

[@illustration7090]

I love this design and concept! TYSM!

[@jcf150_9]

This is really cool.

[@strangedeergaming4848]

nice job, i used 3 pivoting engines to make my supersonic one.

[@tiway3330]

looks really cool!

Magnificent.

subbed, this is nice.

Hey sorry I missed the upload originally.

Superbe great!! (I try the ship thk for the craft files), maybe a test with my kos hover scrip.... 😁

[@sodaithink]

This is so cool lol its so realistic looking

[@greenkerbal632]

You could tilt your vtol engines to minimize drag

[@Rocketman679]

Yeah it would help a bit, but it would make hovering much more difficult since I'd have to hover nose up and, really, it can already reach anywhere on kerbin

[@thefateweaverchannel2288]

Nice VTOL, heres a sub

[@shiroexile]

You plan on making any KSP2 Videos?

[@Spacewalker1870]

this is pretty cool, but in my experience i find it easier to vtol with normal control direction, i e forward instead of upward, as for example, pitching down slighly increases your forward speed, pitching upwards slightly decreases forward speed, and rolling slightly to the left or right changes sideways speed, and throttle would be just vertical speed control.

[@Spacewalker1870]

also, using rocket engines can be useful for bigger vtols, as they have more thrust so you would need less engines. Also, the Dart aerospike engines kinda do fit within the 1.25m service bays, like if you put it in there and rotate part and use move tool, you can get it to where its concealed by service bay, but you can open it when you need the vtol engine. this way, the engine gets shielded from drag and its easier to fly faster, which is what i used for my mun vtol ssto (although its not meant to vtol off/onto kerbin, just for the mun)

[@Rocketman679]

It is generally easier to control with normal control direction, but the game doesn't support auto leveling to the horizon. The reason for the vertical control direction is so that the "radial out" sas mode can hold the craft level on its own. And rocket engines consume a TON of fuel, though they definitely are easier to land with

[@Spacewalker1870]

@@Rocketman679 true, for using rocket engines, you would need to land faster, but it is can be easier in some situations where you need more thrust, or on other planets, for example duna. it is simpler to use, but for me its easier to manually control that. also, if you have center of thrust aligned perfectly with center of mass, it helps it keep its attitude (direction) easy, and with adding a few more reaction wheels it makes it easier to control.

[@anatolikalinkoff1242]

Nice vid, would love a tutorial. Here's a sub

[@SomeOrdinaryJanitor]

looks a little like the Boeing X-32 if it was redesigned for Cargo use.

[@cosmonaut2644]

I like trash throttle response and low thrust, so it's juno vtols all the way for me

[@Rocketman679]

It's a small price to pay for fuel efficiency

[@AhmadDanHamidu]

What game/application is this that allows you to design/create/test/fly aircraft? Thanks for the video.

[@warbird11_]

[@Attackthedpoint31]

thanks now I can make harrier

[@timmurch2874]

how do you change your engine from you back thrust ones to the vtol ones

[@sudiptabiswas9674]

I think that he put them on action groups

[@xx_gotadam_xx9457]

i sure can make a plane to fly but i cant do a spaceplane also my game is on an ssd and i still get some loading screen

[@Rocketman679]

Yeah I'm on a SSD and it still can take a while. I just usually edit them out of my videos

[@muradabdullayev6193]

It isn't that bad when it is on a m.2 ssd with a 10th gen i7

[@nikolay2170]

How is it will work with BDArmory mod?

[@Nico_117]

after a long trip you will use a lot of fuel and you center of mass move, so will it be harder to land and take off or it is trascurable?

[@Rocketman679]

This jet is balanced such that the center of mass stays roughly the same as it drains fuel, so it's just as easy to land when it's nearly empty

[@Nico_117]

@@Rocketman679 very good job!

how do you do shifting the center of mass by depleting the fuel

[@falosny]

Click the tank and take fuel out.

[@Dread-noughtt]

HOW that so stable????

[@j_tha_panther]

I don’t get how my jet is lighter yet those engines can’t make it go up

[@Rocketman679]

Jet engines take some time to spool up to the power you ask them for, like if you turn on the engines to full power it takes a full 5 seconds before they're making full power. The wheesly (sp?) has a TON of static thrust

[@j_tha_panther]

@@Rocketman679 you think I turn on the jet engines and go back to space hangar 0.000003 seconds after they don’t immediately throw me 300 feet in the air?💀

[@Rocketman679]

@@j_tha_panther I mean you've got a lighter weight jet that can't be lifted by the same pair of the same engines so you're obviously doing something wrong 😂 I just started with the most common misunderstanding about jets in ksp

[@Rocketman679]

@@j_tha_panther jet engines also need a considerable amount of intake air to produce full thrust so maybe you don't have enough intakes? I'm just spitballing tbh

i'm sorry, but the idea of carrying the Passenger compartments under the wings in pylons is hilarious to me, kinda makes sense from a modularity perspective but come on...
