Being able to fly and place a bridge over any gap where their is one….perfection. Also you should see if it would actually work as a bridge

adding a longer "chain" might help
because that would allow fot the "air bridge" to stay higher of the gound and further away from potential obstacles
You're not joking, a bridge drone would be a game changer for many humanitarian and natural disasters. it could also give a huge tactical advantage.
@@bluewhalestudioblenderanim1132 He made the "chain" out of pistons, so they naturally extend anyway. I don't know if we saw him using them to go longer or not.
@@rpgaholic8202 it was a bit hard to see . but concidering he had to go prettymuch into the trees . . . it looks like 4 pistons are just barely enough this to work with a craft this big and cumbersome . . . so there's still some need to add more pistons to the chain . . or . . scaling down the creation a bit
All jokes and goofs aside, him semi properly landing after losing a rotor was actually pretty impressive and cool
I think the problem with the initial prototype was that the vehicule you started with was flexible, so the back rotor could touch the main blades. Had it not been flexible it would have worked

So the “airbouyancy” is called autorotation the air flowing over the blades as it falls makes them spin and generate lift so it acts as a parachute
This, though the effect here is drastically overexaggerated due to the relatively light body compared to the huge wing area this thing has. Plus these wings aren't designed for use as helicopter blades, so their lift coefficient is probably way too high for this application.
@@MGSLurmey That just makes them even more hilarious to use as helicopter blades, and considering where a lot of the flight based stuff is placed in the campaign, kinda necessary if you don't build planes, or are terrible at doing so. The one major failing of the game in my opinion, is that for as advanced as the air vehicle design is, and the physics surrounding them, there's no way to view the center of mass, or center of lift. Air vehicles in Trailmakers are particularly hard, because it's mostly guesswork.
Dude just made a drone that almost floats on its own. The power of (over)engineering
Before the mirror update borked my game to where my FPS went to single digits, I would get close in my makeshift plane then drop after transforming to a car/truck. Also, people I know who fly tell me "Any landing you can walk away from is a good one. One where they can reuse the plane is a great one."
Isn't flying basically falling with style?.
Another happy landing.
I've seen trucks that become bridges but never seen a bridge become a drone #BroneFuture
You joke, but a bridge capable of self-adjustment and -movement would likely be an immense boon to humanity. Lol
You need to remap your controls to the arrow keys. If you use the up arrow key for lift and the down arrow key for negative lift. Use the left a right keys to rotate (You can achieve this by having rotor 1 and 4 move at a higher speed that rotors 2 and 3 to rotate right, and vice versa for left). Use WASD for movement. Simple
adding a longer "chain" might help
because that would allow fot the "air bridge" to stay higher of the gound and further away from potential obstacles
I believe he has extendable components as well, allowing for a winching operation. RCE might become a legit helo pilot from all of this.
When Matt said „every landing you walk away from is a sucess, i instantly thought about this:
The difference between Airplanes and Submarines:
Every Airplane will come back down, but not every submarine will come back up
But the flying Brone was awesome, looked lfor me like building in unacessable terrain, where bridge-parts have to be air-lifted to the construction site.
There are more planes in the sea than submarines in the air, I'll tell you that for free!
I just wanted to let you know that this is one hundred percent a top 5 RCE video
💯 one of my favorites. I was glued to my screen
You can use the helicopter engine just on the bridge and the torque of the rotation will turn you. That‘s how most trailmakers-helicopters work.
Basically using it as a reaction wheel
I think adding those circular guards that drones have to the blades would prevent a lot of crashes lol
Is nobody gonna tell him that rotating the blades that spin in the same direction will rotate the quadcopter?

..
well im not
could that Person please also tell him how logic parts work
You're really bringing suspension bridges to another level
From a chinook mechanic, I truly appreciate this video!
hmm sure
@@fintincollins5555 what do you mean?
@@classclown14 seems unlikely that someone named official jabroni with only warzone vids is a chinook mechanic. also this video is hardly related to chinooks
@@fintincollins5555 well I was in the army and was a 15U for 6 years. The video has dual rotors in it. Also my name has no implication on what I do for a living! If you really want to know I work forest fires on a chinook.
It's like "Getting Over It" with flying bridges.
Oh man, I can't wait to see your helicopter build next! It's been 4 months though haha, will we ever see it? :-)
Using a shape of a Bridge just for the aesthetics of it is such an Architect thing TBH
Yaw, roll, collective, pitch. That's the channels of movement the helicopter moves within. Achieve those and you'll have an agile bridge
When you ask a civil engineer to do an aerospace engineers job. Pure perfection.
Seems like a heli-bridge is something that should exist.
Engineering!!! Stonks! This was really good to see.
Props to the true hero of this episode - the editor
A single coaxial helicopter can actually gain rotational authority by varying the power sent to one of the rotors, so the original Brinook could use that effect to be able to rotate, coupled with the pitch control that RCE had, you'd have full control authority (though the methods don't really resemble how actual helicopters work).
Counterrotation is exactly what it sounds like : the engine turns the rotor one way, but since nothing is holding the chassis still, the engine also turns the chassis (yaw) the other way (counter-rotating) with the same torque. To stop the chassis turning, a tail rotor pushes sideways against the yaw from the engine, holding the chassis in place, and allowing turning by varying how hard the tail rotor pushes.
Two rotors stacked one atop the other and spinning in opposite directions, means the yaw from each blade cancels the other out, so you no longer need a tail rotor. To steer, a hinge under the rotor assembly allows you to direct the downwash of the rotors, moving you forward back and strafing side to side. To turn, change the power ratio between the two rotors to change the net yawing effect.
Option two is two seperate rotors, one at each end, spinning in opposite directions to cancel the yaw from each rotor, but would require a second hinge to allow for steering on both front and back rotor so you can steer by leaning the front rotor one way, and the back rotor the other.
The catharsis of you finally plucking that part and landing like Obi-wan ... was epic
Fellow Civil Engineer here. For anyone who is unfamiliar with the difference between civil engineering and mechanical engineering. The joke/rule of thumb is... "Mechanical engineers design the weapons; civil engineers design the targets."
Also, love your videos Matt.
this was an exciting episode :) was I the only one leaning my head slightly when you were trying to land the Brone? :D
you can use use helicopter motor to create rotational force, no need to attach blades
place in the middle and assign buttons you want to use to rotate
This was as stressful and action-packed as 2012, Apocalypse Now and Flying High rolled into one.
I love the ”hello fellow engineers” even though I’m still in school
Smae
It’s worth mentioning, I am an architect and still understand the fundamental principles of gyroscopic precession better than RCE…. What a RIOT!!!😂
Yeah we know thats why Architects Sucks!!!
He's a drainage engineer, not a lot of gyroscopic precession in drains.
Get outta here, you hecking ARCHITECT
How helicopters actuaky work is super interesting and although simple after you see how it worksites suoee technical. And the chinook doesn’t really work like that. The rotors are hooked together. The angle of the blades change to change direction.
I need more of this series
This strikes me as just about the most difficult way to steer a quadcopter with a keyboard XD
😂 my hand still hurts...
when you got it and was trying to land I was having a proper laugh in a long time
You should make a video on the bridge collapse here in Pittsburgh PA. I know it is not something you usually do but I this in would be interesting.
How come? What should Matt do with a fallen bridges?
He should look at the bridge and give us his opinion on what he thinks happened.
@@nasakid2395 A BRIDGE REVIEW!!
@@wikansaktianto9215 no he should look at what happened to the bridge and give us his opinion on how the bridge collapsed.
@@nasakid2395 I already mentioned that, a bridge review.
AWESOME video more of trailmakers
Get the one from the center of the volcano! That one is a true engineering challenge
If you want to rotate drone, give up on stacked rotors. When spinning rotors on the diagonal, they will spin in the same direction, so the torque won't be canceled and chassis will spin in the opposite direction
Or just triple stack them if you don’t want to give them up 🤔
Do you think you are going to bring this series back? I love trailmakers, and I enjoyed watching you play through it. You’re comical, and you always seem to bring joy when I watch your videos. Keep up the good work.
Pad just wants to take out the doppleganger. Lol.
Side note: you can extend the piston(s)
Nothing like watching a Civil Eng. try and accomplish the most common Mech E tasks.
I love how the game doesn't know how to descend with those counterrotating blades, add a space of one or two nodes between them (if you're set on keeping them) so the game can figure out airflow between them.
W for the person / people helping him with the heli, and brone
10:41 brilliant edit 🤣
You need 4 rotors, not 4 pair of rotors, and you need to use logic controls to bind your movement keys to different throttle controls on the four rotors to manage pitch, yaw, and rotation.
At a minimum, Matt, you need to make one end obviously the "front" for orientation.
Even the sound is almost the same as coaxial helicopters IRL.
You should put rockets on each side, so, when you press the button, it activates all rockets and you dont go any direction and stay still
That's not how forces work.. If the rockets cancel each other out, they won't do anything to also then cancel out the forces from the rotor blades, or torque from gravity.
The autorotation is insane! You can walk way faster than this thing fall
10:35 Chuffed is definitely a British word lol
The Bridgerone!
RCE, man, the thing you build is not a quad copter. Quad, meaning four, what you build is a octocopter lol. This must have been the most frustrating and entertaining video of the series yet, please make more!
in timberborners when you get tnt explode holes in the river so if you pump it out there are deeper areas so plants dont die
I can't have one because I need money for stuff like food, but it's cool to see some original merch on offer on youtube for once. I hope all your paddies find a good home.
Trailmakers challenges every aspect of a real civil engineers job innit
I like how an entire episode is just for a big yellow thingy because RCE don't know how to drone
RCE doesn't know that Patty is actually taking over his channel MUAHAHA
I love that RCE could only make his helicopter work if he also made it a bridge. If he can't drive on it, he doesn't understand it
This man loves bridges way to much
I made a simple drone with four rockets in Trailmakers and it was amazing. I love your videos Matt!
Such an architect.
Better video title, I FINALLY GOT THE HELICOPTER STUFF, AND LOWKEY GOT A ROOKIE AT BUILDING AND PILOTING A BRONE!
Use a gimbal so the heli stays stable and btw you don’t need stacked rotors because stacked rotor make it harder for you to rotate as in you speed up 1 and 3 and slow down 2 and 4
a gimbal makes the whole heli obsolete. They're naturally stabilizing so once you get gimbals there's no point to helicopters
The whole time I was watching this like "REDUCE THE WINGSPAN!" while he was complaining about the helicopter being too floaty xD
“Air buoyancy”
Greetings from the Netherlands 🇳🇱 enjoyed the Dutch bridge video
It’s not like this already exists oh wait it does and also 5:43 this is a real thing with the chinook
That helicopter engine confusion was WAY longer in the stream XD
I just wanted you to know I was watching the greyhounds race and one of the dogs was “paddy wants pats” at good odds so I bet on it for paddy.. it won by a country mile
Make a mono spinner! The simplest flying machine possible.
I laughed a lot, 10/10 thank you RCE please upload more I always miss the streams
You can repair midair if you use the quick transform and change to the same vehicle you are in
Brute forcing the only one way until solve it. This is Engineering!
Watching a CE do Mech E things is hilarious.
Physics be hard bro.
hahaha
Paddy looks IDENTICAL to my dog lol
We need a RCE and Mumbo Jumbo collab
Drones rotate fiat by reducuinf the speed of either the counterclockwise rotors or the clockwise rotors.
Edit yes the rotors spin in different directions. The pair up facing each other.
Could someone tell him, he has to loose some of his blades, so the brone won´t float like a feather...
Maybe take half of the lengt of each rotor could fix it.
Just put one set of counter rotating rotors and then put propellers or jets to go forward, back, and turn. This would be FAR simpler and easier to control. There are cables I thought that could be extended and retracted that you tried to use on a suspension bridge... Can you attach a magnet to that?
What a heck of a flight right there!!!
As an architect myself i have to admit, i can't agree more with your insults towards us. Love it and hate it at the same time.
You built what is known as a quadcopter mixed with a bridge. So call it a Quadridge.
We need a collab with mumbo jumbo right now
Alternate title: Engineer becomes a professional helicopter pilot in under an hour
You could make it rotate by slowing down the top rotors and speeding up the bottom rotors (or vice-versa)
All civil engineers know is that if something doesn’t work, add more concrete

Can you play MMORPG tycoon 2
It's a game where u customise a whole game about whatever you like.
U can add enemies like "bandit" and give them glasses and rename them architect with a custom attack of "forced studying of architecture" which will damage players.
It's a really good game and I hope u can give it a try.
Ps. Love your channel and everything you do
I laughed so hard that My mom checked on me what I was watching 🤣🤣
The hell-eeee-copter :D
Nice heli Drige/Brone
Damn someone who doesn’t play high seas only now very rare I like when the game isn’t all dark and has water that high seas and I hate it also helpful tip angle the wings to make a true heli and make it so the wings angle up and down so you have control you can watch scrapman video on this aka a lot less wings so much more control and power so you can go down with the wings and go up with them
The bridge that breaks physics. Nice.
Ah yes the brone, the in bred cousin of the drigde.
I think you should do a tiltrotor helicopter.*It would have much easier time using it as there is no need for a tilt beneath the propeller as you can just tilt the whole "wing" the propeller sits on. You do not even need necessarily a third propeller to steer as you can just tilt only the other wing or even one forwards and the other one backwards to spin around. The overall design would require the least amount of knowledge on helicopter mechanics imo.
engineer in physics class " what the hell am i supposed to do with this i mean i was never taught this this is some BS like when was i taught this" teacher " you have been taught this in 7th grade your a fully graduated student you should have no problem with this" engineer "bruh"
Rce in Australia there’s a place called Bridgetown.
