A sidenote is to not use too many blades. Even the smallest weight changes can increase efficiency. Reducing your engine size also reduces your weight, in the comparison above, the reduced motor weighs 0.21t vs 0.60t (not shown) unreduced. I used 0.35, as it gives me some margin just above 32% Now at 32%, I messed with the blades just a little and got a similar speed to the one above Then, resize your engine in your preferred construction building to the % of torque you used.ġ00% Throttle got me to 198.1m/s in the pic. To reach max speed in a plane with props, I have used only 35% of available torque in some designs.Īfter you flight test your design, you can find out how much power is truly needed. This often happens because the engines in KSP are hilariously overpowered. It is no secret that the motors or engines (which will be referred to as motors or engines interchangeably from now on) consume a LOT of their fuel supply, be it electricity or LiquidFuel. Getting Motors and Engines to be Efficient The entire system combined creates a system that continually pushes air back and a plane forwards. In order to grab and push the air, a propeller uses an engine or motor to turn blades at a specific pitch. In this case, the propeller pushes air backwards, pushing the plane forwards. Propellers work thanks to Newton's Third Law of Motion, for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. In this guide I will go over what makes a propeller work, setting up a propeller, and making planes with props fly. propellers are amazing if used correctly. INTRO: Propellers seem to be something that few people come close to understanding in this game. Send us a message with proof, and we'll give you some flair to show it!
