SpacePlane™: A plane that does not have control surface of any kind. It's powered by a massive rocket which the "plane" releases from the rocket and takes off. It then crashes and doesn't go to space.
A Zander_HH It’s like those little flappy bits that planes use to change their direction. Like when you fold corners on a paper airplane to make it do barrel* rolls, but you can control it *technically aileron rolls but whatevs
My favourite part was when Dan added a giant rocket on the bottom which caused the majority of his problems, but instead of just removing the rocket, he just built around it to see if he could make it work.
"See, I'm being sensible this time, I'm thinking it through, I'm being sensible. This is going to be a proper solid challenge of goodness" *attaches solid rocket booster as the main fuselage*
I have to admit I'm impressed. I cant fly a plane without control surfaces at all and Dan at least got close to landing on the runway. Albeit in several pieces.
All of his problems would have been solved if he had: 1) Put ailerons on the wings 2) Moved the wings way back 3) Not tried strapping a rocket to the thing :)
@@Eren-zs6bx horizontal stabilisers? Don't just say shit you think sounds right to join in the conversation. What these guys meant is that Dan added no control surfaces which should mean no way of controlling the craft smh
Jake Gladman True, it doesn’t have any control surfaces whatsoever but The Camo Cat is right that it also doesn’t have a horizontal stabilizer. That’s the surface that the elevator (pitch) control is attached to. The empennage is made up of a vertical stabilizer (rudder) and horizontal stabilizer (elevator). Having a horizontal stab would help a lot to counteract the CG (center of gravity) being so far aft of the CL (center of lift). Source: I’m a pilot.
as a pilot, I found this very difficult to watch. Nerdcubed, elevators or forward pylons work best for pitch control. early on I could tell you had plenty of speed, but no control. how you almost managed to land that monstrosity is beyond me.
At the start he said this would be "a proper solid lets play." (later in the episode) "Fuck it, put this thing on the runway. its only gonna explode a little."
Whenever sometime like this guy plays ksp A Scott Manly in an alternate universe dies it's a good thing there are an infinite number of alternate universes
+gruff square Do you mean elevators? and ailerons? Flaps are used to slow you down for landing. Ailerons are the parts on the wing used to tilt the plane.
BTG02 If you google it, you will find that an elevator on an airplane is the part on the tail that turns to raise or lower the plane's nose. Maybe there's just two names for it.
+BTG02 'Elevator' definitely is a term in aerospace engineering, as are both 'elevon' and 'aileron'. There's kind of a clue in there as to what's going on. An 'elevator' is a control surface that only controls the aircraft's pitch, and an 'aileron' is a control surface that only controls the aircraft's roll. An elevon is a control surface that does both - it combines the function of an elevator and an aileron. The word 'elevon' is a combination of 'elevator' and 'aileron'. They've only become possible, really, since the advent of computer-controlled 'fly-by-wire' avionics.
Spends 10 minutes trying to get it more stable, has minimal success. Fucks it all up, gets better stability than those 10 minutes of tinkering did. *slow clap*
God, Ive been watching Dan for 7+ years now.. Time sure does fly, thanks for the superb and honest-to-self content, you definitely shaped a good portion of my geeky personality 🤙
THE BEST COMPILATION OF "WHAT NOT TO DO IN KSP" I'VE EVER FOUND!! THANKS :D NASA should really hires this guy and just do the opposite of everything he just told them and we'll be on Mars next year! lol
Planes are much easier to fly using SAS with flaps on the wings. Just saying. Aside from that critical failure.. your idea of launching a plane using a rocket boosted car was pretty kool lol
Dress Cat the Great They aren't called flaps!!!! They're control surfaces, elevators for pitch, ailerons for roll and rudder for yaw. Flaps are on a wing, they extend and retract on takeoff and landing and extend the wings surface area and angle of attack
I was just going back to rewatch this video for ol times sake and an ad for Kerbal space program 2 played!? what? that is coming in 2020? thats pretty damn convenient.
Adamant Hunter seriously this whole video was a waste of time, if he had control surfaces on the wings from the beginning this episode could have gone somewhere.
Kerbal scientists: so we need control surfaces, the wings in the right place, and wheel that don't look like they're doing an impression of Arnold Schwarzenegger. Dan: lol, nah...
>uses wings he cannot control >learns he cannot control them >immediately forgets and keeps using them >wonders why he can't take off because there's nothing to control a takeoff.

1) Knew what a plane is

whilst he was building I was screaming at the screen ADD FUCKING AILERONS AND ELEVATORS!
I know ailerons but I forget what elevators are.
Ben Jamin the bits that make thee plane go up and down
What do you mean? I know ailerons do that to the front or back to turn. But what do elevators do differently?
Ben Jamin
Elevators are basically the tail wings that lift the plane

1. You need control surfaces and elevators.
2. You don't put liquid engines on SRBs.
3. Rover wheels break at certain speeds.

Let's give him points for creativity.
But let's take those points away for not knowing the laws of physics
But give them back for trying to invent new ones.
DoubleBrick Gaming Productions you can't invent the laws of physics
I know, I said he's trying to, because he's not following them, and he's using completely insane ideas to remake them.
+DoubleBrick Gaming Productions I liked his idea of a rocket launched plane. Other than that.. it was CRINGE FEST

There is no need for flaps. Look at the Avro Vulcan.
No need for a horizontal stabilizer or flaps as Rob has pointed out with the vulcan, also concorde and the f102

As an aviation enthusiast, the only thing that was harder to watch than this was Dan playing FSX
When he was trying to put an engine onto a solid fuel booster I thought to myself 'what an idiot'.
