11:27 And here we see the wild Gazelle in its natural habitat. An absolute beauty that one.
I've been on this channel for so long now, that I'm actually getting good at ksp by just watching
I agree with you
Jake Flade I’ve been here for a while too...
And I’m still trash.
Yeah, especially with space shuttles
latt mowne top tip from Matt lowne himself
Same
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.
Already did dat
Y DO I SEE YOU EVERYWHERE!?

@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
What a beast! :) I freaking love this thing!
Hi Marcus
Marcus House he could just use afterburning turbofans
Marcus House me to
that fanfiction was actually really hot
9:09 Your airbrakes are exploding, DON’T PANIC!
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.
Can barely wait to see how the minmus hotel will be
It’s pretty wild man!
Minmus base
Hotel and Casino

How may I direct your call?

Hello, this is Red_Five. I'm an aerospace engineering undergraduate student in Kerbinia Tech, and I would like to apply for a job in your company.
Great, will have a rocket to bring you here at 7:02 on the 13 of March
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.
Cool we like something different every now and then 😎
Yep im getting adicted to this channel this is too fun for me to watch
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" 👌
Astonishing
11:19 nice little ryanair reference
Brillant design ! Thx for your your job !
I tried building a similar craft myself, but smaller. I'm really happy with how it turned out. Thanks for the inspiration!
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.
This is one of the coolest plane designs in ksp I’ve ever seen, nice job Matt!
"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!
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.
Matt: **looks at an orbital ssto**
Matt: "i like this"
.....
Matt: **Looks at box wing**
Matt: "But i think this is better"
Airplanes? YES PLEASE!
That landing is a perfect illustration of how a bounced landing doesn’t get better without adding power and executing a go around.
This plane's landing gave a new definition to 'Starhopper'
I'd love to see commercial space flights in this series, so yeah, looking forward
next thing you know some guys in suits come to his door and say "we,re from boeing, you're coming with us"
9:04 as an American, that's a fair assessment of our air travel
You could build a space station around minmus where the passengers change from the ssto to a separat lander, like a taxi
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.
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
I created a “Box wing” aircraft in Simple planes because of this video. Great concept but I am NOT good at building.
10:12 nice doppler effect ;) and cool plane btw
I really like stuff like this because I feel you can be more creative with this type of aircraft
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.
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!
excellent instructions
every day...
in every viewer...
in EVERY video!!!
This looks so nice! All it needs now is to be converted into a crew + cargo hybrid ssto
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!
Nice you mentioned real engineering, I am subbed to him as well. It's a small world.
jebediah: * is in plane *
plane: * is in FRICKING FLAMES *
jebediah: Nah, this is normal.
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
You should try modeling the Star Trek Enterprise. It'd be awesome, VTOL, SSTO, etc.
Thank you. (Genuine Trekkie here)
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!
9:17 are we not gonna talk about that airbrake that exploded mid flight
I love the idea for the tourist base on Minmus! I can't wait to see the videos for it!
"Minmus hotel and casino". Sounds a lot like a new album that just came out.. I like it
The hotel and casino idea sounds so freaking cool man!
That Laythe thing sounds amazing.
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"
If you play Joakim Karud’s Dreams as background music one more time my ears will actually explode, sending chunks of them flying out of the atmosphere, where the vacuum of space finally gives them peace and serenity since there’s no sound.
cool vid btw
Matt Airlines needs funding! Everyone donate to Matt's patreon so he can be better than the other airline businesses!
Double time educational videos. Is very good
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!
Well this is fresh out of the "box". help me.
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.
You need more subs!! Your amazing at this game!
Thank you for the link to Real Engineering never watched them before, as well as for the entertainment.
That g-force must be huge at the start! But as long as the Kerbals have fun:D
Matt I saw those grid fins in the sph
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.
Didn't know Ryanair had the budget for supersonic box-wing airliners, let alone pioneering the R&D!
Hew Matt, beautiful design as always.
If you want to add some "realistic" tweaks to it, you should rotate the engines intake 180° so they face upward instead of downward.
In this current design, it is very likely that the engines are sucking some of the boundary layer of the lower wind section.
Something you definitely want to avoid if you want to increase your engine lifespan.
Of course this is not really relevant for KSP, but that would be some interesting attention to details on this one.
Plus it may look even cooler !
Cheers mate
Beautiful looking aircraft
Woah, A airliner! Nice!
LOL your airbrakes at 9:14 Matt
You should make more planes and drones man, theyre real fun
Minmus hotel/casino?
HELL YEAH
Box wing it done to get the advantage of the forward swept wing while minimizing the disadvantage of the require front upward twisting action in the forward swept wing from the lift.
I call it the "Servant Wing" as the wings remind me of people putting their arms to their back
LOOKS AWESOME
Man it looks amazing.
Suuuper saaaaaanic!!! I love super sonic passanger planes!! 😄😄😄
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.
Will you be uploading many of your crafts to the steam workshop now?
kip doesn't have a steam workshop, unless they just released it
They just added it
I have no plans to
Matt Lowne can you do this one
The camera movement is so smooth 😗
Minimus hotel sounds awesome!
I geeked out when you mentioned Lockheed Martin cuz my older brother works there
looks great! cant wait to get KSP
!
The first joke is worth my subscription
Well done, Matt!
Epic landing technique
Love this.
Sounds like you're going to make the city ship Atlantis from Stargate Atlantis
The thought of having an entire space program kept afloat through Patreon donations made me chuckle a little.
High key so excited for the minus hotel if it happens
Awesome video👍
I actually laughed a little when you were saying that patreon donations won't be enough to sustain your space program xd
Ahhh just what i need
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.
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
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.
You should use the innermost engines when cruising to reduce asymmetric thrust in case one of the engines fails
It’s so cool!! I love how it looks! It looks so futuristic and uhh.. idk :)
wing tip vortices have nothing to do with induced drag, I believe they generate something called interference drag. Induced drag has to do with the angle of attack of the wing, since lift is perpendicular to wing chord, any component of lift in the X direction is the induced drag.
Box wing is unconventional, but I do not usually see these, so this design is impressive.
Nice work!!! How long did you make this?😎👍
Probably just under a couple of hours from idea to working craft!
Awsome! Now build a SSTO that uses a box as a wing
I truly regret taking a break from this channel for a couple months. I ran out of things to watch and came back here, and OH MY GOD I’ve been missing out!
