How Few TAIL PROPELLERS Does It Take To Break The Sound Barrier?

“How many ceiling fans does it take to reach the sound barrier”

Yzuei, frank and cog: lets do a vtol dogfight! Scrapman: HOW MANY TAIL PROPELLERS TO BREAK THE SOUND BARRIER?

waited for the Ski, to see if aerodynamics are stronger than ground friction.

Not scrapman pushing the top front wedges fowards instead of just rotating them so that they push sideways lmao

IT'S POSSIBLE WITH THREE! With skis! If you lift your gokart seat one block, put 2 skis there, and put two skis behind the tail propellers, so, not under it, you get the friction reduction from the skis without extra drag! It worked with the dragon thrusters, then I bought the dlc just to try this out with the tail propellers.

These types of theory-testing experiments got me wondering (if possible) how many space blasters you'd have to line up in a row (and adjust timings) to get a visually continuous "laser beam".

I know acceleration does not mean higher max speed but what if the propellers are reversed? Also he should have tried the skis anyways just to see if 3 is achievable

Not sure if you’ve thought of this or not: but you have mentioned how you start in the middle of the map, right? —So by starting at a wall as you sometimes do, you get twice the distance, yes? —but have you realized that the map is a square? If you start in a corner at a 45 degree angle, you will have even more traveling distance available to you going a diagonal NE to SW (C) than you do horizontal E to W (A) / vertical N to S (B) as a result. You’re basically turning the square into a right triangle. A^2 + B^2 = C^2, you know. If you ever need those few extra seconds, corner-to-corner is how you can get that! You could literally revisit your “if I only had a few more seconds” builds now and get your “what if?”!

Always love a breaking the sound barrier video!

2470 kph = Mach 2

A sound barrier challenge where you must use one of every propulsion block.

The ski hitbox actually extends below the block it's on so you can easily use it without worrying about reduced aerodynamics.

Aerodynamics on the back of things actually does have a notable impact in Trailmakers, it's usually worth slapping some wedges on the back of things

Lovely job with the lifting test. During the beta I tested it with mods for precise values and ended up on 142.85 kg. Given that the game display rounds that up to 142.9 and you got there is quite nice

Idea: Make a Plane capable of post stall maneuvers without using gyros OR Make a plane that is stable and doesn’t spin out of control without using vertical tail fins and use logic to stabilize it

Sound barrier videos are what I live for

A helpful easy tip for these test. Instead of going side to side, go corner to corner in a diagonal line, you'll have more room

You should do a a battle but you have to be able to exceed the sound barrier

It would be cool to do a battle where everyone starts a fresh campaign and they have an hour to collect as many parts as possible, then you do a battle only using the components you founds.

Things that could make it better: friction reduction: Skies, make the wedge touching the ground go up to make the frictionprofile slightly smaller. I think you were onto something with making the craft lighter to the ground, aerodynamics on angles combined with seatsteering could possibly work. What if you placed a flatconnector on every corner on the botten? Would that be enough to lift up the belly of the craft from the ground? Could you have used accessories as skies since they dont have any aerodynamics? Or possibly have a detachable set of wheels to help you accelerate faster in the beguining? Additionally if that isnt enough you could hold it in place at the start and let the engines ramp up before detaching it from the ground. Starting at the very corner of the map on a 45 degrees would also give you a tiny bit more room… What happens if you put the propellers at (-1.00) speed? Since pistons have a faster maxspeed at (-100) than 100. There is always room for improvements.
