What is the point of planes in KSP?
Planes are highly efficient for traversing Kerbin and, after an interplanetary journey, other celestial bodies with sufficient atmosphere. They are ideal for contracts taking place on Kerbin.
Why does my plane Keep flipping in KSP?
If this happens in the air, though (and typically only at high-speed), it sometimes has to do with having a forward center-of-drag. If your CoD is forward of the CoM, it will make your plane unstable flying forward (but stable backward – lucky you!) and it will try to flip around.
What is the best jet engine in KSP?
R.A.P.I.E.R. engines
The plane uses two R.A.P.I.E.R. engines and requires a large amount of fuel to lift the whole thing into the air. The R.A.P.I.E.R. engine is the best engine for most SSTO craft, due to the fact that it can switch between an air-breathing jet engine mode and closed-cycle rocket engine mode.
What is the fastest jet engine in KSP?
TOP SPEED IN STOCK 1.0.4:
- Nefrums Has made it to Mach 5.15 and a speed of 1554.7 m/s before it exploded and made jebs body into monocles spread into the atomsphere XD.
- Zipmafia a Veteran Has reappeared from the blackness and has made it to Mach 4.45 and has breached the speed of 1531.9 m/s.
Can Planes flip over?
For all intents and purposes, a plane cannot be flipped upside-down, thrown into a tailspin, or otherwise flung from the sky by even the mightiest gust or air pocket. Conditions might be annoying and uncomfortable, but the plane is not going to crash.
Why do planes flip?
When landing the pilot must make sure the plane is not going too fast and let go of the brake at the last 3 seconds of slowing down or else the brakes will cause the plane to flip forwards if done badly. This is because the brakes are obviously at the front two wheels.
What is the smallest celestial body in KSP?
Gilly
Gilly is the smallest celestial body in the Kerbol system.
How many bodies are in KSP?
The Kerbol System is the planetary system in which Kerbal Space Program takes place. It has Kerbol as the central body which is orbited by 5 planets and 2 dwarf planets. Only Kerbin and Laythe have an oxygen atmosphere and only Kerbin hosts life….Relation to the Solar System.
| Kerbol system | Solar system |

Where do you place the lift on a KSP plane?
In vanilla KSP, wings have a predefined lift factor. Also, lift is usually placed in the middle-to-back of the wing, depending on the shape. Take the large delta wings and place them on the aircraft.
What kind of plane takes off from KSC?
An Aeris 3A takes off from the KSC runway. So you want to make a plane but all your contraptions explode on the runway, crash into the runway a few seconds after taking off, crash into the side of the runway, crash into the ocean after doing a tight turn or otherwise fail to do what you intended? Here is your convenient solution to this problem!
Do you need science points in Kerbal Space Program?
This is Kerbal SPACE Program, get out into space and explore! Yes, there’s really no need to collect every science point other than being a perfectionist. You could unlock the entire tree multiple times with the available science. This changes the science strategy to collect it from where you can get it more efficiently.
