Vectored jet engines - Flyboard Air

[grahamjamesaddis]

I'm trying to model a Flyboard air.

To do this I need to create a model with vectored jet engines.

Is this possible in RoR?

Yes. The jet master uses vectored turbojets to hover.

Hi Austin,

Downloaded installed and flying(ish).

It slides along the ground rather than actually flying. I checked the RoR.log and the TOTAL VEHICLE MASS was 441kg.

The four turbojets had dry thrusts of 1.5kN, but not aimed straight down.

Based on that, I can see why it didn't actually take off.

Did I understand that correctly?

I can play about with the node weights and/or thrust to make it fly, I just want to make sure I haven't missed something.

Thanks,

Graham

ps: It was just what I was looking for
