Wing DESIGN, PLACEMENT, AND How to Build A BETTER Dogfighter 

Exactly as I said, unstability is key.

Good explanation Storm! The low wing aircraft with the wing-tips higher than at the wing-root is called Dihedral, all wings have Dihedral, but it is more visible on the low wing planes, even a Cessna 172 has a bit of Dihedral to it. The idea is that as one wing drops it becomes in line with the air flow, increasing what is called "Angle of Attack" the raised wing has a lower angle of attack, which lowers lift on the high wing and increases lift on the lower wing, pulling the plane back to straight and level. The F4 Phantom is a proof of concept that you can make a brick fly with enough thrust. So, the more thrust the better until you reach diminishing returns. In real aircraft, there are two types of drag: Induced, and Parasitic. Induced Drag comes from making lift, most seen with heavy commercial aircraft at take-off, or landing, Low speed, high angle of attack. lots of lift and there for lots of drag, you can see the air spinning at the wing tips, "wing tip vortices". Parasitic drag is from things sticking out into the air flow, from the wings themselves and the engines to the small rivet heads that hold the place together. Induced drag lessens at higher speeds but parasitic drag increases at higher speeds. Your analogy with the fletching on an arrow is spot on, it's about the mass center and drag center relationship, keep the drag behind mass or the mass will want to go to the rear, think of a shopping cart wheel.

From personal experience and many years of this game, I could say, without a doubt swing wing design, if mastered is the best way

Thanks, I’ve been really confused with wing design recently

You did it again Storm, another good tutorial that manages to stay fun and informative at once. This is the mark of a creator that knows what he's doing and I love that element about your chanel and I bet I'm not the only one thinking this 😁

Thanks, never could find a design that was this easy to follow and understand, also thank for explaining the physics!

Thank you so much! Im verry new to the game and I saw videos of jets with really sharp wing angles, thanks for telling me about the sharp angle wedges.

My guy thankyou! I've been looking for someone to help me understand for a day or two now, much appreciated!

Thank you storm, this helped me so much

First!

i love storm and i love his wholesome comment sections

I'd love to hear about gliders and separately design specifically around maximum top speed and acceleration. Is enhanced aerodynamics aways worth the weight cost for each type of design? Now I must go watch the video again. Lots to learn!

Btw, who made your intro, and how much did it cost? Things epic

Forward swept wings are insane for maneuverability if you can get them to not spin into oblivion

i love you can u make a video on togglable stabilizers please

could you also try reverse swept wings like the x-29? i have built one liek that and it also performs well at doing circles at relative speeds

Storm something that I feel makes me see all your videos but sometimes I don’t need them

I am too broke to buy trailmakers but it's entertaining to watch you videos And if I had enough money my pc is trash

thx man

To my knowledge just building the frame for the wing at an angle doesn't do much. It really works when you use hinges to sweep the wings.

Maybe show us more bike stuff in the future

Been waiting for this video so long, using the new mic right?

You should show like a extreme sept of some sort like Eurofighter typhoon stuff like that I have a bit of trouble with

~7:40 i must say that the f-22 and f-16 do not use delta wings. they use clipped trapezoidal wings.

Storm could you do a vid on armor?

I'm ur 200th like

Hey Storm, you tend to use the helicopter wings and sails and paddles in your planes alot, what do these do to help?

i found that backwards geometry is more agile and stable than normal

with the run he is building on is that a map or do you need to build it i am really confused

I just use the dorito wings

Hey storm i have a question im trying to make a vtol jet but I want to have the stabaliser activated while im holding a Button but when I let go i want it to deactivate how i have tried many Times but never got it to work

We all know that storm is the best more advanced trailmakers content creator (probably with a few exceptions i don't know about)

Hey Storm have you ever made leading edges and trailing edges that move for better maneuverability? I have a Dogfighter that actually has insane turning and good stability (No Hinges btw) and it also has Leading and Trailing edges [Flaps acting like horizontal stabilzers] which give it that maneuverability.

ah yes. the good mic is back

Ive wounder what the point of the angled wings were

So what if you did a biplane with swept wings or a ww2 hing with swept wings

Please do a bike or car tutorial ❤😊

Video 2 on asking for a real good dogfighter without any dlcs

Please do tutorial on floating blocks and my dog fighter goes 450km

Any tip for flying wing as mine flips like a normal plane with no elevators?

where should my pitch and roll come from? I always put pitch AND roll in the main wings, only pitch in the tail (unless it's a bigger tail, then i do both again)

I tried to make a ww1 German gotha bomber but it is too heavy. I’m trying to work on that

10th view

it's funny, because it is mid term break for me atm

If you have an NVIDIA GPU nvidia broadcast can get rid of some of that echo in your mic!

bro a wing always generates lift upwarts in relation to your plane a baloon always generates lift upwarts in relation to the horizon/ground A WING IS NOT A BALOON IT DOESNT MATTER UF THE WING IS ON TOP OF YOUR PLANE OR AT THE BOTTOM

Waiting for a back sweeping wing tutorial 😔

What would u do if u had the dlc bc ur always talking about a dlc what dlc tho bc I have the air dlc and I wonder what I should have done if I have the dlc for it

his bi plane was more of a canard style plane

Day 2 of asking Storm to use ALT :'3

You forgot the single wing planes such as the mirage 2000 and the eurofighter

the f 16 dosent use delta wings

why are you using terraria calamity DoG(devourer of gods) phase 1 music?

Can u help me make a ufo engen

Why does it sound like your in a long tunnel There’s a lot of echo fyi

burgers

Ok hear me out. If you consider your biplane a bi plane what is about canards on a fighter jet. DAMN. We currently have biplanes fighting in the sky

Where is the variable geometry wings.

Me 163

bro tf your "delta" wing was just a big swept wing, a delta wing is a doritos like on the eurofighter of the dassault rafale. delta wings usually have pitch AND roll into them, negat-ing the need for an elevator, but you can replace it with canards and have even more pitching power (like on the eurofighter/rafale). There were planes like the mig-21 (goat plane) that did have an elevator at the back, but idk why they did it, probably because the engines weren't making the plane ffast enough for the doritos configuration. Not hating or anything, just saying that swept wings have the back of the wing angled, but delta wings have it straight. also the F-22 doesn't have a delta wing but a diamond wing. By the way, the best way to remember what i just said is to remember that the letter D (delta), in greek, is a doritos when in capital letters. Your videos are great I'm just pissed off when someone makes a mistake like that.

O

Use the word stable less please its mostly wrong when you use it
