This Plane DETACHES ITS NOSE To Bomb Bombers?

Welcome to another episode of Trailmakers! Today I am recreating the Sombold So 344. A World War 2 era plane with a detachable nose cone full of 400kgs of explosives. it was intended to launch this nose cone at a fleet of bomber planes taking out multiple with a single strike. It was a bomber bomber. it bombed bombers.

About Trailmakers:
In the toughest motoring expedition in the universe, you and your friends will build your own vehicles to cross a dangerous wasteland. Explore, crash horribly, use your wits to build a better rig, and get as far as you can with whatever spare parts you find on your way.
Welcome to the Ultimate Expedition!
Journey over grueling mountains, hazardous swamps, and bone-dry deserts on a distant world far from civilization - it is just you, your fellow adventurers and the amazing, jet-powered hover-buggy you built yourself. Explore, crash your vehicle, build a better one, and get as far as you can with whatever spare parts you find along your way.
Trailmakers is about building very awesome vehicles and machines, but you don’t need an engineering degree to get started. The intuitive builder will get you going in no time. Everything you build is made from physical building blocks. Each block has unique features like shape, weight and functionality. They can be broken off, refitted and used to build something new. Individually the blocks are fairly simple, but combined the possibilities are endless.
Expedition Mode is the challenging campaign mode of Trailmakers. You are competing in an off-world rally expedition with only a few building blocks to get you started. You must build, tinker with and rebuild your machine to progress. Journey through a big world, overcome deep gorges, angry wildlife and dangerous weather to progress and find new parts that will juice up your machine. The world in Expedition Mode will test your survival skills and ingenuity.
Sandbox Mode is where you want to head for an unrestricted, sandbox, vehicle-building experience. Here you can build anything you can dream of, and play around with it in the world of Trailmakers. It is a great place to test out crazy machines, and experiment with the physics engine. With tons of different blocks, hinges, thrusters and interactive vehicle parts - the skybox is the limit.
Trailmakers is even more fun if you play it with other people. Build cool vehicles and compete in mini-game modes with your friends or other Trailmakers online. Build a helicopter, send it to your friend, and shoot them out of the sky. Put two seats on a tank, and let your friend control the turret. As we get further in Early Access development Expedition Mode will also be adapted to multiplayer.

15:55 now i know why they didn't built this... Story: Fleet of bomber planes:are we ready for take of-wait what's that? Pilot:ready to drop my nose!

[@the_andrewgrech]

Whenever you have a detachable piece of an aircraft, you should add trim with logic that automatically changes when the payload is released so that the plane can fly level both before and after the drop.

[@Hedgehog7999]

My thoughts exactly

[@CorrupToast]

If I didn't know what KSP was I would have thought you were a wizard

Love how Scrapman never tried turning off the thrusters in the plane to drop the bomb

Hey scrapman, for your next experimental vehicle I think you should look at the Fairey Rotodyne, it's a small airliner with a unpowered helicopter rotor on top, seems like a fun challenge.

You should do a multiplayer Monday where you all try to shoot each other out of the sky with your wacky historical planes. That probably wouldn't be very balanced, but would be very fun.

[@nathanbarraud4349]

Thanks scrapman for this amazing video. I would love to see something like this recreated in a multi-player Monday episode. Something like dogfights. 👍

[@tmk9572]

Why did this get no likes scrapman :(

[@tmk9572]

I love you pls notice me

[@barral69]

You need a "sled" to move the weight from the back to the front as soon as the bomb is released. If the weight starts in the back, when it slams forward it should bring you back into balance. Have you uploaded this design? I would like to 'play' with it. :)

[@notonlyhuman6073]

I really like the look of this creation! Its actually cool looking

[@uberflieger9917]

You could make a Multiplayer Monday Challenge about this! Everybody gets a prebuild rocket and need to hit one or more targets, the person with the best hits wins!

[@short0811]

I love this idea!

[@Illogical.]

For the transition between bomb an plane, you can use logic gates. They have a smooth surface. If you use sensors on the bomb side of the transition, you can first use them to detect when far enough from the plane, and send a signal to an OR gate, and that OR gate to another OR gate, but the second OR gate is set to toggle. Then lead both or gates to an XOR gate with a delay of half a second, that activates the dynamite. When the first OR gate is activated, the fins should all be twisted a few degrees to make the bomb spin. The first OR gate should also make the sensors turn outwards, so they are facing away from all of the sensors' average position (so looking away from each other). While writing this, I realized, it will not work because of how sensors work, and a functional solution can be made much simpler. Also, this would take up no extra space except for the connection points for the fins (although there is a possible, ugly, but flush solution involving hinges and pipes).

[@cee_jay_0]

lol your birds animation was so much better than the entire movie "birdemic shock and terror" part one and two combined

[@nathanpfirman625]

I am loving these videos where you make weird planes from the past

[@Shardian1176]

I would assume that it would decrease thrust after the bomb is released in order to maintain control. Translating that to Trailmakers… Replace some internal blocks and weights with mini thrusters and use those minis after dropping the bomb to keep control of the plane.

[@siddhartheaswar959]

who's here before the description gets changed from the coleoptere to the Sombold So 344

Dude the bullseye was dope

[@s4vd_iia]

6:26 nope!🤣 P.S I love all your videos, to be honest since 2020 I've watched about 60% of all your videos, love 'em all, and the crew🤞🏽

[@RobertDensmore]

The fist thought that may occur to one's mind when a flock of birds is gliding over one's head, is, ''I hope one doesn't get poop on one's head.''

[@DamPuppie]

Would love to see you recreate this plane with the new updated wings

[@257theNoob]

You can use an altitude sensor (or any sensor to activate the thruster constantly) with an output of 0.1 or less, turning the thruster on and skipping the charge up time but not actually giving any thrust until you want it to. Basically circumventing the whole thrust delay

[@Project_skye1]

Trailmakers multiplayer: that bird bomber thing vs a vehicle that the players is going to build that is at least the size of that target 13:40 The vehicles speed limit is 100 MPH and has no anti air guns just trying to survive as lang as possible, you can also add as many blocks as you want, there will be 2 bombers and 1 that is trying to survive using the vehicle.

That fail montage makes this one of the funniest history vehicles videos, oh also, that gives me an idea, what if the plane released a cluster bombs instead of the 1

[@barefootalien]

Scrapman: "Let's say I ran out of fuel..." Scrapman: "I think I'm too high..." Also Scrapman: Does absolutely nothing about it. Scrapman again: Flares at 202 mph and slams it down at 186. Scrapman subsequently: "Why!? No waii!?" as he slides off the end of the short runway, still at 76 mph. Finally, Scrapman: Engages thrusters somehow for a go-around in an out-of-fuel glider. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

[@Franktamas]

Great video, nice plane.

[@brick8950]

"Dont worry i can recover from this" famous last words

[@wolffang-vz2ty]

To be fair even the original design wasn't meant to be as accurate as Scrap was trying to be. It was meant to fire the missile into a cluster of enemies, each of which proportionally was probably close to the size of the target he was using, and detonate when it got close to one of them no doubt trying to start a chain reaction of all the payloads going off

[@greymatter1999]

I know it would be a lot of tries but it would be cool to see this again but with the target floating in the air with gimbal jets and maybe explosives placed on it so it would mimic a fleat of jets so when it's hit and explodes it destroys more like it would hitting a jet making it explode and exploding the other jets. still awesome video always love everything you post.

[@sillicon8227]

Omg I just saw the comment about this exact thing on your previous vid Scrapman really does read comments This increases my respect for u even more

[@funny_skeledude]

“Place your bets now! Do you think it’s aerodyn- **Plane explodes into deadly shrapnel**

[@HalfWolf2]

The real aircraft possibly had a shifting mechanical center of mass or at the very least trim to counter the weight

[@elnico5623]

"I kinda wish I could do better... I want to do better. I'm gonna do better" Wise words from ScrapMan

[@laurenclouse801]

6:21 bro didn’t even get a chance to finish lol

[@paritybit7830]

Yeah, I think if they'd built that plane it would have burnt the pilot to a crisp (if the rocket ignited right away) or else the real plane would have had even worse trouble hitting the target than the ScrapMan version (if the rocket tumbled off to a safe distance from the plane before igniting). It makes so much more sense to (as they eventually did) put that kind of rocket-propelled bomb/proto-missile on the underside of the plane where it can just drop straight down for half a second before igniting and be pretty safe and on course. Putting it on the nose raises difficult questions about how to get it moving away from the plane.

[@proffesorspongebob6754]

Wow I have that plane and never knew you made it

[@djnotcool]

you should make a drone / floating target so you can use censors to do the proximity bomb idea

[@veronicaledesma4310]

11:03 *"what are you doing, stepbomb?"*

[@sgamingop8655]

Very nice bro

[@theheavyboy8838]

I have a suggestion for a vehicle in Instruments of Destruction: Can you try making a vehicle that looks like Anomalocaris. Anomalocaris was an animal that lived in that Cambrian Explosion 500 million years ago. It would use its 2 tenticle like opendages on the front of its face that would curle up and down. When the 2 tenticles grab Pisces of a building, it will drag it twords its mouth on its stomach. Also just for a bonus: can you try making the fins move up and down?

[@DiogeneDeSin0pe]

Putting a weight on a piston and moving it after bomb release is a way to manage weight shift.

[@SkyReaperOne]

Another solution to the weight distribution issue might have been to add detachable weighs on the back end of the plane that would release with the bomb. The center of mass would then remain the same in both "forms". Also, holy hell this thing would have been expensive to field. I mean, even if this thing worked as imagined without any flaws, it would have hardly been worth the investment even if it accomplished its task! And that's omitting the risk of accidentally bombing your own country if you missed. D:

[@WungerPlays]

**weights fall off and take out one of the planes** *cool*

[@Minos_prime03]

If I show this to my grandpa he’s defenetly gonna get ptsd honestly

[@antoniolozic1517]

And that is why i recommended it to scrapman

[@madsting6486]

Black snoop dog: narcotic consumer white snoop dog: intelligent mechanic

[@falin9557]

Ok, so simply by looking at the picture on 1:20 I can say it won't work very well. The main wings must be a little bit to the rear from the CoM (about 1/3 of the wing in front). So when the nose-bomb detaches, the CoM will mov backwards making the CoM behind the wings (total dissaster). Or, it the CoM starts a lot to the nose and leaving the wings behind to compensate the previous case, it won't fly.

[@dragoneverde4793]

Should do a Multiplayer Monday with three aircraft and some ground targets. First to 10pts wins or as close to it as you can.

[@robertg3260]

@scrapman: Video Idea. Battleships: Build a fleet of battleships, cruisers, subs, etc. Use ones from workshop if necessary. You all build bombers. All 3 of you take off at the same time on bombing sorties from the carrier. Bombs have to be actually dropped from the craft. In order to "reload" you have to fly back to the aircraft carrier. (Then you reset). Battleships are worth 5 pts, cruisers 3, destroyers 2, etc. Timed event. Winner is most points at end. Alternatively, 1 person is bombing while other 2 man antiaircraft guns from the ships. See how long it takes to take them all out. Use dynamite in the bombs as well as on the ships so they are more likely to sink after a hit. (Maybe, like the game battleships, there are 2 "caches" of dynamite on a destroyer, 3 on cruiser, etc (like the peg holes)

[@HydroCay]

You should do more multiplayer trailmakers, looked fun

[@ewankannolt2620]

So, the issue where there had to be a seam because of attachment points being weird isn't an issue in SimplePlanes because you can force detachment points and there are detachers, so I would like to recreate this in that game and make it look seamless. After I finish it, I can link the plane for any SimplePlanes players. Also I recommend the game, it is complicated to build at first, but it eventually becomes fun.

[@Entropy_____]

Once I heard that it release it’s nose cone, I am really curious about the centre of mass as well

[@haydenstuart2251]

Hi Scrapman! Im not sure if you've already done this one, but i found a plane called the x-114, and it's a really cool seaplane. Maybe it could be the next creation?

[@barrybend7189]

Now build an ornithopter as a french engineer actually tried to get one working.

[@birdman6392]

With the pitch, you could have made the fins stay in a certain position, then when the bomb detaches, just make it normal or in a different position.

[@nathendrake3927]

Huh, I was thinking something similar, but shifting the weight blocks. I wonder which is more efficient. I don’t know enough about aerophysics to know.

[@ProjectNoDarkNight]

16:03 “Here in the Soviet Union, the plane IS the bomb”

[@hello_there947]

maybe, just maybe, after you deploy the bomb, cut the throttle for a while to let the bomb go ahead to prevent collisions.

[@playbyme1233]

This plane is very similar to the Me 163 which used a rocket to quickly gain altitude and intercepted bombers, and then glide back down.

[@jenniferstewarts4851]

This... is actually based on another design. The Yokosuka MXY-7 Ohka. They actually look very similar, except that the Ohka's nose doesn't de-tatch, the plane just rams into the enemy ship.
