This is cool its … This is cool its the first new technology lander to even come close to the 1960`s LLV test vehicle for the original Apollo lunar module problems are to much thrust rake under vehicle too much noise not enough control looks like it could be lost pretty quick needs much better landing soft and much much more docile control in flight it doesnt look very controllable or safe for human passengers etc.
One of the better … One of the better ones ive seen, with modern technology. I will have a better appreciation for this when i see one dropped from a 747 at 50 000 feet and it soft lands. This really casts an enormous shadow of doubt over the whole apollo/ luna missions.
its a lunar lander … its a lunar lander, any engine needs air to release thrust even jet engines….so i believe this thingy is best for outer space lunar landing.
active stability … active stability control. Fiber optic gyros to detect movement + computer programed right+ actuators to point the engine + a good throttle control = nifty, inherently unstable, flying fuel tank that goes where you want it to.
Well since this is … Well since this is a launch vehicle being designed for orbital space launches. I don’t see the relevance of comparing it to a commercial jet. Plus I believe there engine system runs off LOX and methanol. I wouldn’t call that a fake engine either mate… I don’t know which engine is being used in this video but there 8″ LOX/meth. engine is expected to produce up 20,000 lbs of thrust. Much more then a planes engine of similar size!
that thing is usles … that thing is usles to fly with koz there is no real engine on there it just uses pure jet fuel to fly and you can spend 1/10 that to fly with a a normal airplane
Very nice, but how … Very nice, but how does it stand so steady in the air, so balanced. why does´t it turn on one side and lose control. It only has one rocket motor.
Is it because the motor is above vehicles masscenter? Or is there somekind of system with gyros used to gain such a good stability?
hm, yes 4 of it, at … hm, yes 4 of it, at least you can see what it is. a space shuttle is basically a flying water Tank(liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen), all combined in a good looking shell with tiles on the outside
Flight at Oklahoma spaceport
