You can actually turn down SRB thrust limiters low enough for the engines to last for 100x longer or more, of course you will get barely any thrust from that but it is still interesting.
@lordbaysel31353 жыл бұрын
With 8 and half minutes of thrust with starting twr of 0,4 for raw booster, i think its manageable, but it would have to be huge

Would love to see someone do a heavy airlift run. Proposed requirement: internal cargo bay carrying 5000 units of Liquid Fuel - not accessible by aircraft engines (show the tank is still full at completion of run)
@PoorFoxface3 жыл бұрын
A while back I built a B-52 SSTO with a pretty sizable cargo bay... I'd have to check if it can carry 5000 units, but if it can, I might give this a go.
@PoorFoxface3 жыл бұрын
Update: it can indeed fit 5000 units of Liquid Fuel. It was a little fiddly, because of course Mk 3 fuel tanks don't fit in Mk 3 payload bays, but I was able to get it there with 12x 400 LF Mk 1 fuselages (4800 LF total) and 4x 50 LF Mk 0 fuselages (200 LF total). Whether it will have the endurance to get all the way across the course with this much dead weight, I'm not sure, but I can at least attempt the challenge. For added fun factor (and because at this point, what's a bit more mass) I'm going to try and complete the course with the 5000 units AND all the orbit-specific stuff like monopropellant, RCS thrusters, solar panels and airbrakes, etc. I'll let you know how I get on!

@@eriklindbergs5017 The run is up! I completed the course in just over 1hr 35m with the cargo, then dropped it like a bomb from ~1km up and flew back to the KSC on fumes. Originally I'd meant to put chutes on it, but I forgot, so the "delivery" wound up being directed by Michael Bay. Oops... Unfortunately KER's overlay made the liquid fuel readout mostly illegible, but if you look at the leftmost number when I drop the cargo you'll see that the remaining fuel drops from 8XXX to 3XXX.

I might enter a boat into the run. But it'll take forever to get through the course. Especially turning a lot. It definitely has the fuel capacity but it can't break 100 m/s in its current configuration. A variant broke Mach 1 but that was purely a record attempt, not a racing boat that can function in a river. Speaking of which, I would love to see you try to make a *fast* boat.

Non-stock parts and cheats (unlimited fuel etc.). Launching your aircraft into the course at a high speed. Flying higher than 400m (now I’m wondering if it’s possible to skip the course while staying below 400m, maybe even go around the other half of the globe). I guess in-flight refueling (though that could be fun). Staging and part clipping is allowed. Cheating to the start of the course is allowed. Landing at the start or end is not required (-> don’t bother with landing gear). A pilot is not required.
