Innovare-Xenon Hybrid Prop-Jet Engine XL

@Innovare Dont sweat, i dont expect u to go through the pain i went through

@Welliedowner I probably will at some point, just trying to get grid fins I downloaded to work first

@Innovare ive done a few crafts using this technique, you can check my bio, but they all resemble turbofans. Because i like them, but the concept can still be used. The raw simplest version is my LRPD-400 which i made ages ago, it has minimal features. But its your call, it takes a lot of work to get right.

@Welliedowner yeah seems actually super cool tbh, just like you said awkward

@Innovare if you use high bypass and no afterburner and high compression it shouldn't make smoke. Also as a hint, the smaller the engines the better and place them far out. I like to make them invisible as they look goofy. Place like 4 radially and offset them semi far out. Perfectly stock, and stupid efficient. The tricky part is controlling the RPM but that can be done with Vizzy. also if you can find a way to occlude said jets you can decrease their drag. Additionally you don't need nearly as much intake.

@Welliedowner why not just say that haha, but what about the smoke from the jets though?

@Innovare yes

@Welliedowner So the engines make the motor turn instead of electricity? like they push it?

@Innovare you just put them 90° like a caveman. Perpendicular to the axis of rotation. Make it dead simple as you can

@Welliedowner yeah i get the idea, i just mean I don't get how the positioning is supposed to work, the angles etc. i don't even get how it's supposed to spin the propeller

@Innovare gawd dammit. Like make a spinny thing with jets and attach a propeller to it

@Welliedowner I still don't get it😅

@Innovare make a prop attached to a fueselage, then place jet engines out radialy, they do not need to be big AT all

@Welliedowner that's actually a super cool idea tbh, but idk how

@Innovare try using the jets to turn the propeller, its A lot more efficient. And you don't need to use electricity. It takes a bit of effort to work properly but very much possible

After I finish posting my current crafts I'm gonna start a new project called "Project 1859" which will be a story type thing where Innovare and it's partners work to try and fix climate change
