Wing
An aerodynamic part: creates lift when the body flies forward.
How to add
Select a body (for example a flat box) and in the Aerodynamics and thrust block choose Wing (lift). Ready units: Plane and Wing.
Properties
- Lift
- The lift coefficient.
- Drag
- The drag coefficient.
- fx, fy, fz
- The forward direction along the wing.
- nx, ny, nz
- The normal to the wing surface.
Tips
- Lift grows with speed, so a plane needs a run along the strip.
- In the ready plane W is throttle and the up and down arrows control the elevator.
