The fastest rocket in SFS history

[AstronautAdam]

Hello there is challenge for SFS 1.4.06 FULL VERSION players: build the fastest rocket- with only two stages( engine and fuel tank and capsule with chute NOT PROBE!!!)

Rules are simply:
1. Design rocket on one BP
2. Rocket must fly straight to Karman line ( 32.1 Km)
3.Capture screenshot of the rocket on launch pad and on Karman line
4. No sandbox modes allowed
5. No copying of rocket on screenshots in this thread
6. NO BP EDITING OR PART CLIPPNIG

Have fun with this challenge
(I am judge- this challenge is competetion)

I'm going to take the role of Horus on this thread by saying this :
Define ' fastest rocket '. Technically the fastest rocket would be one with the most fuel because you can just go into solar orbit and speed up until fuel runs out there. Or do you mean the rocket which can go fastest in the atmosphere or highest acceleration?

 

[AstronautAdam]

There are three sample screenshots:
First demonstrates NOT ALLOWED SETTINGS
Second demonstrates launch pad picture
Third demonstrates Karman line transit.

Note: This challenge is for every Android and IOs player due this challenge not containt BP

Maximum screenshot hieght for Karman line is 37.5 km.

Soooo.......
I mean that: build rocket with crazy ratio thrust weight ( i my screenshot is beast with ratio 4.9 and on third screenshot has speed 1971 m/s), capture screenshot on launch pad, then turn on all engines, fly straight and wait to message PASSED KARMAN LINE and capture screenshot. Post reply with ratio and screenshots. This challenge is easy as challenge but is hard as competetion. And rockets on one person is unlimited number. So have fun. And I am not join to competetion as racer because I am "judge". I have only ilustrative images.

 

[AstronautAdam]

I proudly pressent my rocket: Beast V2.0 ( non competetion rocket). Ratio is about 5.7 and speed on KL is............
uhmmm, what number?

 

[AstronautAdam]

I think the ratio 5.7 is maximum for 35 km range

You have learned well. Those would be the exact questions I'd ask.

Also.

Hello there is challenge for SFS 1.4.06 FULL VERSION players

There's one tiny problem with this.

Only me and you still use 1.4.06. Pretty much everyone else is using 1.5.

Also also.

Does your attempt take into account the aerodynamics bug? 1.4.06 aero is broken, and only works 'properly' if you spawn your rocket, exit to the main menu and then head back into the game.

I would hazard a guess you haven't done that based upon your TWR and the speed you're passing the Karman line (at 30km, not 32).

 

[AstronautAdam]

The maximum ratio 5.7 for 35 km is busted myth. New my record is 5.9 with non competetion Beast V3.0

 

[AstronautAdam]

So since after this message I am racer and I use 1.4.06 because I use Android 4.0 or 4.1. The 1.5 has Android minimum on 4.4 so i am out of the range. Aero problem- I don t know about that. Thanks. And one questiin from my side: Can rocket with mass about 340 t and three Titans (ratio is 1.275) with one stage (it will be a booster for my lunar shuttle v 2.0 (1.0 conception is shuttle on left, center booster with fuel tank for shuttle and on righ booster with shape of shuttle but mirrored. 2.0 have shuttle in center and boosters on sides) have lift off, create LEO with height about 35-40km and have some fuel for reentry( SFS 1.35 PC WIN 10)?

The challenge is very simple: put a capsule, the smallest Tank, and two Titans...

If it has to be 2 stages, then do the same in the lower stage.

That's it, that's the fastest rocket in the history of SFS.

I'm going to answer this with one with a simple sentence.

TWR has no effect at all on how far a rocket will go. It is much, much more complex than that, there are a lot of other variables.

Also, 3 titans lifting 340 tons is much more than a TWR of 1.2. 3 titans generate (about) 900tons of lift. You're talking a TWR of higher than 2.4

 

[AstronautAdam]

So Blazer build it, fly it to the Karman line and capture two screenshots- one on launch pad and second on Karman line.
NOTE: your rocket can have two stages- first engines and fuel tanks and second is capsule NOT PROBE with chute.

But my calculatios never speech false, Titan thrust is in SFS 1.35 PC 1365 Kn or 136,5 tonnes

 

[AstronautAdam]

Sorry for my ugly English but I am from Slovakia and I use English so not often.

I can't, I'm in 1.5. Also, no offense, but I'm not interested.

 

[AstronautAdam]

Ahhhhh sorry but you can might try it in 1.5.

 

[AstronautAdam]

I have blueprints of these test rockets. So I can send it to try they in 1.5( Dont worry they convert automatically)

 

[AstronautAdam]

I copy this thread but for SFS 1.5 division

 

[Horus Lupercal]

But my calculatios never speech false, Titan thrust is in SFS 1.35 PC 1365 Kn or 136,5 tonnes

Oh, you mean the Big Falcon engine? My mistake.

Then your TWR is 1.15. 1365kN isn't 136.5 tons of lift.

 

[AstronautAdam]

It is 10 Kn=1 t

 

[AstronautAdam]

But what it fly?

 

[Horus Lupercal]

It is 10 Kn=1 t

It's really not. Well, in 1.4 it is, but that's cos Stef is lazy.

10kN is just under 1020 kilos.

But what it fly?

Like I said, there is a lot more to working out your shuttles capability than TWR.
You need to know your combined specific impulse, starting wet mass, mass at the end of booster 1 burn out, specific impulse after booster one burns out, mass at end of booster 2 burn out, specific impulse after booster 2 burns out, dry mass of shuttle including payload specific impulse of shuttle engines.

And that's not taking into account things like aerodynamics and flight profiles etc.

Did you guys done it before right?? idk if i'm right....

 

[TtTOtW]

AstronautAdam you can be a great player, but you need to be educated. We (me, Horus and Blazer) all played 1.35 and 1.4. We have vast experience so let us teach you.

 

[TtTOtW]

Did you guys done it before right?? idk if i'm right....

Correct.
