Engine2017-05-29T19:18:31Z<p>CoreyNewhard: Little more information, and made the page a bit kinder to the engine.</p>
<hr />
<div>{{:R.A.P.I.E.R. Engine/Box}}<br />
<br />
The '''CR-7 R.A.P.I.E.R. Engine''' (Reactive Alternate-Propellent Intelligent Engine for Rockets) is a hybrid engine. It can change between an [[jet engine|airbreathing jet]] and a [[liquid fuel engine]]. It has the feature to auto adjust, changing between jet and rocket mode automatically when it runs out of intake air. This engine is an in-game counterpart of the real life [[w:SABRE (rocket engine)|SABRE]] engine, which is also visible in the naming as both are named after swords.<br />
<br />
This is the first stock engine which has multiple engines incorporated into one part (four in this case).<br />
<br />
This is the first engine which has two different manufacturers. Prior to [[0.24]] one of the manufacturers seems to be misspelled. Instead of [[:Category:Rockomax Conglomerate|Rockomax Conglomerate]] an ''o'' was missing attributing it to the Rockmax Conglomerate. However, the description text used the common spelling and the manufacturer entry was fixed in 0.24.<br />
<br />
== Usage ==<br />
This engine has two modes of operation. An ''AirBreathing'' mode in which it runs on liquid fuel and intake air like a jet engine and a ''ClosedCycle'' mode in which it runs on liquid fuel and oxidizer like a rocket engine. The engine can either be set to switch automatically to closed-cycle when the intake air runs out or it can be switched manually between the two modes. The hybrid feature makes this engine especially useful for [[single-stage-to-orbit]] designs as it saves the weight of a separate engine.<br />
<br />
This engine is one of the few engines that do not provide electric charge when active, another example being the LV-909 engine.<br />
<br />
Unlike the other jet engines, the R.A.P.I.E.R. has a rear mounting point.<br />
<br />
=== Air-breathing ===<br />
<br />
Like other jet engines, the air-breathing mode only works in the atmospheres of [[Kerbin]] or [[Laythe]]. The air-breathing mode has lower specific impulse than the other jets, though still a order of magnitude higher than most rocket engines. On the other hand, it delivers better performance than the [[J-X4 "Whiplash" Turbo Ramjet Engine]] at high speeds (~1000 m/s and higher) and altitudes (~17 km and higher), making it a good choice for high-speed atmospheric flight.<br />
<br />
=== Closed-cycle ===<br />
<br />
The closed-cycle performance is merely mediocre. Its specific impulse is in the middle of the pack compared to other rocket engines. As a pure rocket, its thrust-to-weight ratio is worse than any conventional rocket. However, the R.A.P.I.E.R. is lighter and more compact than having a separate jet engine and rocket, and has relatively higher ISP than most rocket engines. This makes the R.A.P.I.E.R a good choice for single-stage-to-orbit (SSTO) where use of the rocket can be kept to a minimum, but not practical for extended spaceflight.<br />
<br />

<div>{{Box||'''This is a list of tasks that you can help contribute to this wiki.'''}}<br />
<br />
This is a list of tasks that other people have requested to be completed. Feel free to add something you want to be checked/done and others can then claim those.<br />
<br />
To avoid that multiple people work at the same time at the same task you should claim tasks by answering to them. <!-- we might want a template placed at the top of the section --> Also answer to a task to remove your claim if you aren't working on it anymore and want others to finish the task.<br />
<br />
Use {{Tlx|task|complete/claimed/pending/|optional message}} to show the task's status.<br />
<br />
For saving the place, delete the sequence if the task is finished, and everyone is pleased with the result!<br />

<br />
== Version 1.0 release ==<br />
With version 1.0 we need to do some stuff:<br />
* Thrust is now depending on pressure not flow. {{Tl|Infobox/Part/FuelConsumption}} could become obsolete and {{Tl|Infobox/Part/Thrust}} should be verified and used in the relevant templates. Also {{Tl|Thrust}} should be checked. If it's like the other template it should be merged into that and then removed.<br />
** The {{Tl|Infobox/Part/Thrust}} is now working and in use. {{Tl|Infobox/Part/FuelConsumption}} is only used directly by {{Tl|Infobox/Part/jet engine}}. After that dependency is fixed, the page could be moved to {{Tl|Infobox/Part/consumption}}} and the variable fuel flow specific code could be removed (moving the page to verify that nothing is using that template then).<br />
* Updating {{strikethrough|{{Tl|Parts}}}} and {{[http://wiki.kerbalspaceprogram.com/index.php?title=Special%3APrefixIndex&prefix=Template%3AStats+Table&namespace=0 Stats Table]…}}<br />
Feel free to add additional point and cross out/delete handled points. — [[User:XZise|xZise]] <small>&#91;[[User talk:XZise|talk]]&#93;</small> 20:52, 29 April 2015 (UTC)<br />

And a further note: is the claw docking port? [[User:NWM|NWM]] ([[User talk:NWM|talk]]) 06:07, 28 March 2015 (CDT)<br />
:Well it works similar to one but the image is used where only the docking ports are listed. And to be honest I think it doesn't belong there but that is only my personal preference.<br />
:Regarding the image I'd have three suggestions:<br />
:* Make it when the Sun is not so high so that there aren't so many shadows making the image so dark.<br />
:* Prevent as much background as possible (my version before had only the sky as background)<br />
:* Don't look directly at it. The difference between the two lateral docking ports (the ones in the top left) is marginal from that viewpoint. You don't really see that the lower one has the Mk2 shape.<br />

<br />
== Calculate version numbers ==<br />
With {{Tl|Check version/ver}} and {{Tl|Check version/Rev}} it's possible to calculate version numbers now and templates like {{Tl|Infobox/Version}} could profit from it. For example getting the version after 0.23.5 one can do <code style="white-space: nowrap;"><nowiki>{{Check version/ver|{{#expr: {{Check version/Rev|0.23.5}} + 1}}}}</nowiki></code> and get {{Check version/ver|{{#expr: {{Check version/Rev|0.23.5}} + 1}}}}. So it's possible to get the next and previous version numbers.<br />
<br />
It only does support version numbers since 0.20.2, so both templates probably need to be extended to support prior versions. But at no point a specific revision number should be used so that is easier to change the numbers later when I miscounted and 0.20.2 wasn't the 38<sup>th</sup> revision. — [[User:XZise|xZise]] <small>&#91;[[User talk:XZise|talk]]&#93;</small> 07:41, 12 March 2015 (CDT)<br />

== 100 Million Views! ==<br />
{{task|complete|Unneeded}}<br />
I would like a page for the upcoming 100 Million view mark, as it is important to the history of this website. For making a page about the 100 Million View Mark, people will understand how far and long this wiki has come. I suggest that you will put a link to this page on the [[Main Page]].<br />
<br />
One really isn't necessary. It would be more of a celebration for a site like Wikipedia, which seeks to inform the world, not some game wiki.

<br />
== VisualEditor ==<br />
<br />
I don't know where else I could post this so I'm doing it here.<br />
I suggest adding the [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:VisualEditor VisualEditor] MediaWiki extension. That would make it easier for new users that aren't familiar with the syntax to contribute to the wiki. Perhaps that increases the contribution rate.

== planets orbital and physical characteristics outdated ==<br />
<br />
In version 1.2, the values of the gravitational constant and the standard gravity [http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/index.php?/topic/147576-modders-notes-for-ksp-12/ have been updated]. As a result of this, several numbers stated on this wiki are outdated, such as orbital periods, solar days and the properties of synchronous orbits. It appears that the sidereal rotation periods of Kerbin, Mun and Ike are changed as well to keep a solar day on Kerbin exactly 21600 seconds and to keep Mun and Ike tidally locked. --[[User:Serpens Solidus|Serpens Solidus]] ([[User talk:Serpens Solidus|talk]]) 20:33, 14 October 2016 (UTC)<br />
<br />
I'm currently working on updating the parts(list), after that I was going to do the planets. I already updated the constants for them, but the orbital periods and others were already changed in KSP 1.0. I never had the time to update then because of my internship.

The '''Stearwing D45''' was a [[stock craft]] that used the Spaceplane Plus mod that was officially added into KSP 0.25. Like the [[Aeris 4A]], it was a spaceplane capable of reaching orbit around [[Kerbin]], but in contradistinction with Aeris, the Stearwing was not a [[SSTO]] due to the fact that it [[Decoupler|decoupled]] its [[jet engine]]s. It was the only [[Stock craft|stock craft]] by [[Squad]] to have forward-swept wings. <br />
<br />
The Stearwing D45 had a problem with the alignment of center of lift and center of mass when all the fuel was drained.<br />

The second stage kicks in just as the turbines start to flame out, and twin LV 909 rockets take it from there out to space.<br />The D45 carries a crew of 2 plus 4 passengers in a pressurized cabin, as well as up to 6 more in its cargo bay seats.<br />Vernor thrusters are located in the bay and aft sections. Press 1 (twice) to disable them before takeoff.|Squad}}<br />
