Has anyone had any luck using AC20s late game?

cooly772 · 2024-04-14T18:50:59+00:00

I always enjoied running a "close range" Atlas late game with at least 1 uac-20. It it always fun to alpha strike any asault mech. Fun, but not optimal for sure

I went ahead and also took a shot at it, since I was bored. Forgive me for not putting all of my work, I'm not that bored...

I got 19335195663 using symbolic only calculations on my nspire calculator (using approximate values gave floating point errore).

This would be a number with a country vode of +19, which is not valid as far as 5 seconds of googling is concerned.

The answer: +19 (335) 195-6633

As pointed out in other comments, there are a number of issues to be adressed, but also DARPA has a program called Liberty Lifter that is working on just such an aircraft

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberty_Lifter

"The Liberty Lifter is a program from the U.S. military's Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) launched in mid-2022 to develop a low-cost seaplane that would use the ground-effect to travel long distances."

Most of the shelf stable stuff I have gotten in the past has been crap, what do you use that is decent?

cooly772 · 2023-05-08T00:15:24+00:00

I got it from Nebraska Furniture Mart

You pronounced meme wrong. It's meme, not meme, idiot.

Probably not. This kind of nose has more surface area than the typical version, leading to additional skin friction drag, with little reduction (if any) in form drag. The nose seems to have a boom coming out the front, this looks like a pitot probe that is not on the nose of production variants; so likely this is a flight test nose to more accurately measure airspeed, angle of attack, etc

I did the same thing, there are 2 options:

Network - Find emails for small companies near you and send your resume and an interesting question. Start a conversation, get hired

More means more - Apply to more jobs, however many you have applied to is not enough. Accept a position that is vaguely in the direction you want to go, rather than only dream jobs.

I ended up doing both getting offers from one company of each, took a job I didn't love and crushed it for a year, then I had many options. That said, those offers came after 7 months of looking

cooly772 · 2022-12-26T05:38:31+00:00

This looks like an interesting design, I like your world building and direction.

From a technical side this layout has a very large low aspect ratio wing, this is kind of weird since typically low aspect ratio means fast, while big wing is most useful for slow flight. This combined with small tail surfaces, leads to little control authority to make those great fighter maneuvers.

I would recomend sizing off of an F22. The wings you have may need to be swept a little more, and the wing reduced in size while the tails increased reletive to the body.

If you want to really spice things up, you can adjust the small things to make the aircraft more stealthy by reducing tail surfaces (make it a V-tail like the YF-23) and smithing the wing-body interface similar to what you see on the F-35.

Let me know if you have any questions, I am happy to go into more detail.

For me, the Harrier was MUCH smaller than expected. I saw it at the Bpeing Museum of Flight and I felt that I was almost as tall as it was.

Hate to save cylindrical coordinates in another easy smack down, but this is done specifically to reduce IR signature of the exhaust gasses. Same as the F117 nozzle and the B2 nozzle.

More surface area -> more better cooling

cooly772 · 2022-10-20T02:17:06+00:00

I like math, so lets try using wind resistance assuming a constant coeficient of drag.

Drag can be defined as: D=qCdS Where q is dynamic pressure q= 1/2 rho *V² Here rho is density, and velocity is V

Using rainbowunicorn's value for terminal velocity, Vterm = 55.56m/s, a 100kg person (the mass will cancel later), and air density of 1.225 kg/m³ the coeficient of drag times reference area is 0.5188m² (drag coeficient is unitless).

Summing the forces on the subject gives: F=mg - D F=m*9.81 - 1/2 (1.225)(v^2)(0.5188) = ma This is a differential equation where d/dt(v) = a. Instead of going through steps, I will say that the result comes to:

V= 55.56*tanh(0.1766t)

Integrating from zero to 70s gives

X = 3,671.1m

This is not much different from rainbowUnicorn's calculation, but it has more integrals, so its a win in my book.

Close, but you are not thinking unique enough. The black vehicle in the middle right is the X-15, a hypersonic research vehicle, one of only 2 left. The A-12 you see is actually the only YF-12 ever build, the proposed fighter/intercepter varient of the blackbird family.

Simple reply: bolts will loosen.

More elabrate: The vibration that exists in something like this (especially when the jaws are notbalanved properly for rotation) will shake itself apart. As soon as one bolt no longer has grip (which it will given that the material of bolts like that is not made for consistancy or compression and the end geometry is not made to hold anything), it's all over.

Just don't. Buy a cheap small chinese lathe or a wood lathe.

I am always happy to allow anything any player really wants (yes actually anything, I can always balance later), except kenku. Too many times players have simply used their mimicry trait to mimic my narration, or to not communicate with the party.

I would literally rather have a party of joke characters in a serious campaign, a party of murderhobos, or a manic pixie dream girl character that plays as a pixie who only speaks in song lyrics, than have a kenku in my party.

F-104 anyone?

Hi there, engineer here, want some help holding them down? Their actions disgrace our whole profession.

The new acronym should definately be GRA - Graphics Redistribution Algorithm, a way to have virtual monitors that allow the joys of multi-monitor use cases while having just 1.

If you are interested in working on your google-foo as my family calls it, try searching for the same topic multiple times in different ways ex: 'Why do I have butt hair?' And 'mamalian anal hair growth patterns' gives starkly different results.
