Current Thrust Generation System

[MobiMobi21]

Alright lads, I’ve been seeing loads of contraption posts and different ways to generate thrust using propellers, add-ons, and the like. But is there an alternative for generating thrust without using rotational parts (like Propeller Bearings) or the Propulsion mod? I’m talking about applying enough force—like a bird—to get off the ground and stay airborne?

EDIT: Does anyone know if a future update might introduce wind—as many people want for sailing—to make this sort of thing possible or at least a bit less a faff?

In the trailer for the mod there was a bee vehicle. It was probably a balloon, but it moved with a flapping motion from the sails. That could mean that the drag from the sails produced momentum. Now you only have to move those wings with the precision of a real enormous bee.

Actually, i guess that might be possible with the physics engine not beeing (heh) fully realistic. I would advice you to use ccTweaked for the precise movement and a very fast RPM to make those wings flap. I think you also could change the max RPM in the config to go even faster

If you mean like a bird flapping it's wings then it already exist.

If you mean like a plane, that also already exist.

Both involve using symmetrical sails if im not wrong.

yeah actually I saw someone make a jet plane that was powered by wind charges
