The COL and COT are points on the plane where force is applied along the axis of their arrows, and in the same direction for lift but opposite for thrust.īecause the two vectors act upon different axis they can be considered separately. Your ship should be symmetrical, with COM, COT and COL all on the same plane right down the middle, allowing you to imagine your ship as a 2D plate fixed to a wall by its COM and able to rotate around it. During extensive testing I began to wish the SPH view remembered their state so they don’t have to be turned on again after every test - if anyone at Squad is reading, consider that a feature request! Centres of lift and thrust act upon your ship, the centre of mass is the origin Successful airship design relies on these three being aligned with rather exacting precision, so without them you Will Not Go To Space Today. Here are some tips to get you started building zeppelins.Īlways have centre of mass, centre of lift and centre of thrust visible Despite airship envelopes being surprisingly difficult to explode, the initial learning curve for airship design has been similar in difficulty to the breaking-in process for rockets and spaceplanes, hampered a little by the fact that most of the HL Airships example craft can’t be examined without some unspecified mod(s? who knows).
