The Rocket-Assisted Glider Experiment

[@Hueanaballofficial]

bro so underrated and deserves more

[@ThunderMysteryRedstoneSquad]

Love it, Might just do this challange myself...

[@leonardobonanno5115]

Let me know how it goes buddy!

[@ThunderMysteryRedstoneSquad]

I will... Very soon...@@leonardobonanno5115

[@charlesvattimo4674]

I found the editing to be very entertaining, but that doesn’t distract from how impressive this craft is.

As a glider pilot in training, this makes me smile

[@ThalesMML]

IRL that wing would break at that speed. I suggest forbid strut/autostrut/rigidbody...etc

[@leonardobonanno5115]

Of course, there is no way it could survive mach >1 LOL It would be interesting if there was a mod that enables thermal currents to help gliders perform better, kinda like in real life. I agree with you that for the sake of realism, autostrut should not be allowed, but this video was simply my build for the KSP Weekly Challenge 37.

[@NickBDesigns]

Keep up the great work! Now I wanna try this challenge

[@leonardobonanno5115]

Good luck bro, let me know if you beat my record😂

I ever did my sailplane flew 85% of the Kerbin circumstance with 70km altitude no speed start with lift/drag ratio physics cheats

[@leonardobonanno5115]

That's very impressive, 3200 km of travel distance with 70 km of height is an average glide ratio of 45:1

0:51 MURICA

[@durbecalo]

My dream is ksp with wind and thermals so we can make working gliders

[@leonardobonanno5115]

True story man, imagine how many fun challenges one could make if there were thermal currents...

[@sugarflame1833]

Are the engine plumes from waterfall?

[@leonardobonanno5115]

Yes correct. The glow effect of the plume is probably from using a TUFX profile from CKAN called "Borealis".
