Falcon heavy

[IKYH69]

It's not original, the idea of this Falcon heavy come from other Falcon heavy design's.

Can you create Dragon V2

Can you create Dragon V2

Here is my Dragon V2. I am stuck on iOS so no .bp edit for me. It is definitely underpowered with just the rcs, but if you edit an engine into it it would be good to go!

Here is the bp:

Can it fly without cheats?

 

[SFSAbhishek]

Can it fly without cheats?

I think so yes

 

[SFSAbhishek]

Can we also have a Single Stage Falcon Rocket

Can we also have a Single Stage Falcon Rocket

Huh? Falcon rockets are not single stage.

 

[4KidsOneCamera]

Huh? Falcon rockets are not single stage.

Elon: "well, we can arrange for that"

I think so i had made on , but yeah i have edited it,

 

[SFSAbhishek]

And here are the blueprints...

Ah, well. But that's your free version of the F9, not a recreation or something. F9 rockets are bistaged.

That thing is stupidly overpowered. 2.66 TWR???

If you had two options for first stage i:e
1) More fuel , less TWR
2)Less fuel , more TWR
You should always choose second one cause, from ground to orbit we need more thrust , once we are in orbit we can even use ion engine for saving fuel.

ERROR! SYSTEM CRASHING

Very, very, very bad choice.

If your TWR is extremely high, like in your case, you're gonna liftoff very fast and you'll fight less the gravity, yes. But, guess what? The Drag will eat all your extra speed.

In case you don't know it, drag is the square of the velocity, which means, If you go faster, you'll be increasing your drag exponentially.

The ideal TWR is 1.2-1.4, where you don't fight gravity too much, and you don't fight drag too much.

Horus Lupercal and Altaïr can provide you so many mathematical reasons why your choice is a mistake, so, I'll just leave that to them.

Are you flying with the drag bug? That's the only reason why you're getting away with that high TWR.

Blazer is right, such a high TWR is counter productive. Especially that as you consume fuel, the TWR rises even more, so if you start with a high value, imagine how much you will end up with... For example it happened to me that for leaving Venus or Mars, I had to lower my throttle to save fuel (I did that on my Grand Tour for example). I made sure to always keep my TWR below 2, because above this value, thrust raises drag more than it increases your speed.

Now if we speak about leaving a body without atmosphere that's different. Now your only opponent is gravity, and gaining quickly speed means you'll fight it during a shorter time, so in this case it's defendable. But I wouldn't push the reasoning too far either, because bodies with no atmosphere also have a low gravity, so an overkill TWR shouldn't be an objective in itself. Especially that more engines means more mass and thus less delta-V. So in this case I would say just use what you need, you don't need a hammer to crush a fly
