Description
A stock aircraft called Douglas C-47D Skytrain. Built in the SPH in KSP version 1.12.4, with 62 of the finest parts, its root part is mk3Cockpit.Shuttle.
A WWII turboprop transport plane (hangar 1) replica for the USAF Museum Replica Collection forum thread by Mars-Bound Hokie.
Cruise 135-140 m/s @ 7.5 km (engine torque limit at 22, blade deployment at 37.5). Engine torque limit is actioned by main throttle control; blade deployment responds to translation up/down (I/K by default); flaps are togled by the RCS key.
.
Take off to cruise sequence:
- Pin the PAWs of a blade and an engine (important to keep an eye on their parameters)
- Brakes on, throttle to full, SAS PRG.
- Release brakes. As she gains speed she will level out and take to the air.
- Start pushing blade deployment towards 37.5 (blade AoA optimum is around 7.5).
- As you start climbing, slowly throttle back while keeping RPM to 459+ to maximize fuel efficiency.
Landing can be a bit tricky due to the long prop blades. The plane has a low stall speed, take advantage of that on approach.

Don’t take anything too seriously, I’m mostly just having crazy fun testing the (im)possibilities of flight, physics and design in the amazing sandbox that is Kerbal Space Program. Feedback is welcome!
