Challenge: Make a plane which can go around Kerbin as fast as possible. Make one flight where you only go straight forward and eventually end up back at the runway. Do that as fast as possible. Size and crew doesn't matter.

That'd mean it would be an SSTO like vehicle. It would only circulurize at 50 km. The problem is that you can't make a plane go much faster then 1400 m/s at 30 km or it will disintegrate. But I'd love to see Matt try to go as fast as possible around kerbin. Edit: just did one in 42 minutes and 53 seconds. The mk 2 cockpit starts to overheat after a time at a high speed in the atmosphere. I'd guess it could probably be done under half an hour.

If you go straight, you won't make a circle around the planet also define plane. Rocket or an SSTO will go in something like 40 minutes.

This would be a pretty pathetic craft to take down the NWO. I’ve got several, *reusable*, hypersonic craft that are capable of leveling entire cities.

@Matt Lowe +Matt Lowe for future reference, use your inner engines. That way if there is ever a difference in thrust you don’t have a weird yawing effect or it is minimized. That’s a design feature that all planes have and it’s been in practice for years in the event of engine failures or engines with decreased performance

It’s pretty wild man!

Cool we like something different every now and then 😎

This is basically what I use KSP for. To build airplanes/Airliners. A good auto-pilot mod and you are ready to go, Jeb's Airlines ready to rock between the KSC and desert base.

I love how informational these videos are, with such a great design as well! Beautiful aircraft!

one of the most important planes feature is how they look: "Un bel avion est un avion qui vole bien." M. Dassault. This sentance could be translated by "A beautiful plane is a plane who fly well" 👌

This is one of the coolest plane designs in ksp I’ve ever seen, nice job Matt!

I tried building a similar craft myself, but smaller. I'm really happy with how it turned out. Thanks for the inspiration!

Yep im getting adicted to this channel this is too fun for me to watch

Brillant design ! Thx for your your job !

Box wing designs are really smart, the quite often tend to be oval and Circular shaped, which means that wake turbulence is reduced, and also aero-dynamic forces are canceled out or made weaker by the fact that the forces are spread equally around the circular wing.

I'd love to see commercial space flights in this series, so yeah, looking forward

Astonishing

I love the idea for the tourist base on Minmus! I can't wait to see the videos for it!

Airplanes? YES PLEASE!

just imagining a jetliner landing like that in real life

Looking forward to those bases(Laythe and Minmus) that you are talking about in the video!

I really like stuff like this because I feel you can be more creative with this type of aircraft

I love your channel matt, definitely one of the best ! Great Airliner ;)

That landing is a perfect illustration of how a bounced landing doesn’t get better without adding power and executing a go around.

This looks so nice! All it needs now is to be converted into a crew + cargo hybrid ssto

11:19 nice little ryanair reference

I wish the KSP community could be as big as it used to be, I'm sure loads more people would've loved this style of video

next thing you know some guys in suits come to his door and say "we,re from boeing, you're coming with us"

You never land front first, you land it last. The rear wheels should touch the runway first before the front wheels. That's why your aircraft bounces while you're landing.

It’s so cool!! I love how it looks! It looks so futuristic and uhh.. idk :)

looks great! cant wait to get KSP !

You could build a space station around minmus where the passengers change from the ssto to a separat lander, like a taxi

excellent instructions every day... in every viewer... in EVERY video!!!

Well done, Matt!

I was able to make a closed wing SSTO and it was very stable until re-entry, I still have some issues to solve, but getting off the ground with a sizeable payload was at least doable.

Man it looks amazing.

Nice one as usual!

"Hello, this is your captain speaking. Several components of our plane just*BOOM* exploded. Everyone please remain calm*BOOM* WHAT IN TARNATION WAS THAT?!?" Cool plane otherwise, very great design!

I created a “Box wing” aircraft in Simple planes because of this video. Great concept but I am NOT good at building.

You need more subs!! Your amazing at this game!

LOOKS AWESOME

Thank you for the link to Real Engineering never watched them before, as well as for the entertainment.

I love this kind of video, keep it up :)

This plane's landing gave a new definition to 'Starhopper'

The hotel and casino idea sounds so freaking cool man!

Beautiful looking aircraft

Awesome video👍

It looks so good!

Double time educational videos. Is very good

Sounds like you turned on the vacuum when taking off for the dessert. Lol nice sound effects

I'm SUPER Hyped for the Minmus Base / Hotel and Casino!

Sweet! I love it!

Nice you mentioned real engineering, I am subbed to him as well. It's a small world.

You should launch the flights to the hotel from the Desert Airfield. To make it easier you could land it on the grass beside the runway

This inspired me to build a SSTO version which I orbited on first attempt. Flush with success I tried a first trip to Gilly, which looked beautiful as I sailed by with 0 d/v left. Mark II is now in Kerbin orbit with 4000 d/v spare.

Great vid!!

10:12 nice doppler effect ;) and cool plane btw

It looks Sick!

Amazing video Matt! One question, how did you get your plane to start on the other side of the runway? Or did you just land it there? Thanks.

Well this is fresh out of the "box". help me.

That g-force must be huge at the start! But as long as the Kerbals have fun:D

Epic landing technique

That Laythe thing sounds amazing.

Love this. Sounds like you're going to make the city ship Atlantis from Stargate Atlantis

The camera movement is so smooth 😗

sounds like you need to make more of those aircrafts again since you had fun doing it before

Just realized by basically making a biplane, inverting the wings, and adding a reinforced joints between the wings, you can make a crummy 1900s biplane look like it came from 2020. Just saying British Airways is pretty good, and American Airlines is not bad, United is the one you need to watch out for :) BTW awesome video!

Woah, A airliner! Nice!

"Minmus hotel and casino". Sounds a lot like a new album that just came out.. I like it

9:04 as an American, that's a fair assessment of our air travel

Looking forward to the new series

Matt: **looks at an orbital ssto** Matt: "i like this" ..... Matt: **Looks at box wing** Matt: "But i think this is better"

Hey Matt, Great video. I was wondering, what software do you use for video editing?

Can't wait!!

Didn't know Ryanair had the budget for supersonic box-wing airliners, let alone pioneering the R&D!

One thing I do to counter supersonic heating is to put a radiator panel or two on a medium sized craft. I think maybe one on each engine would work to cool down the plane during "reentry"

Minimus hotel sounds awesome!

This amazing

Nice work!!! How long did you make this?😎👍

@MattLowne

6 жыл бұрын

Probably just under a couple of hours from idea to working craft!

Oh it's beautiful

Can’t wait for the hotel and casino base! Would be cool if you turned the dessert airfield into a spaceport- maybe the transport to the base could be kind of spade odyssey-esq? As in multiple stops at orbital stations on the way to refuel etc.

Matt Lowne can you do this one

These engines kick in at around 16-18KM high altitude btw, in my experience. I've built similar planes where it maintened a good 1200 m/s speed just by half it's throttle. I'm not that good in the game yet, but I figured by now that this engine works best at that high altutide.

High key so excited for the minus hotel if it happens

You should make more planes and drones man, theyre real fun

jebediah: * is in plane * plane: * is in FRICKING FLAMES * jebediah: Nah, this is normal.

Matt I saw those grid fins in the sph

The thought of having an entire space program kept afloat through Patreon donations made me chuckle a little.

I call it the "Servant Wing" as the wings remind me of people putting their arms to their back

In the semi-recent Thunderbids remake, Thunderbirds are Go, the most common design was just box-wing all the way. So presumably, by 2060, we'll have perfected the design! Go us!

You actually don't need to consider vorticity in order to observe induced drag, it's a consequence of induced downwash after the wing in the airflow. Also, the box wing does not completely eliminate vortex drag, just reduces it.

I made a very nice closed wing plane called the Ringwing. it works pretty well but i have to tune it every time i fly it

Ahhh just what i need

3:35 One of the reasons Boeing countered the A380 with the 787. Also later this summer I'm going to get to walk around the Everett factory floor. Matt, if you want I can tell you all about it after I finish. If they let us I'll even take pictures for you to geek out about.

I thought I was the only one that enjoyed building fast planes, most of the time I have more fun in the atmosphere than in space

Ii've built a few box-wing shuttles sometimes they are quite stable on re-entry on Kerbin, i just keep putting the docking port and cargo bays in the wrong places to function efficiently....got the idea for these type of craft off star ocean series

Very nice plane! Loving it! A question though, @6:30, it seems like the ailerons on the lower wings and the canard are of wrong control orientation... or is it I am mistake?

NEW SERIES YA!
