| | | | |
| − | The '''LY-10 Small Landing Gear''' (formerly known as the Small Gear Bay) is a [[landing gear|retractable wheel]] primarily used on atmospheric [[plane]]s, but may may be used on other objects that need to roll.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | == Usage ==
| |
| − | The LY-10 Small Landing Gear allows planes to roll on the ground instead of sliding and (most likely) exploding. They can also be used to create [[rover]]s that roll on planet surfaces. Since 0.18, these wheels come equipped with [[electric light]]s, and these lights only use a tiny trickle of energy.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Despite the game presenting them among the rover wheel parts in the [[editor]]s, there are some important differences between them. Vehicles using these wheels must have another means of acceleration. Since planes usually have a [[Jet engine|jet]] or [[rocket engine]]s, this usually does not pose much of an issue. On the other hand, since they are designed to support planes during their takeoff or landing runs, they can withstand a vastly higher ground speed than rover wheels, needing over 200 m/s to break.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | In prior versions, the LY-10 Small Landing Gear was a [[physicsless part]] with no mass or drag. However, as of version 1.0.5, retracting the wheel makes a noticeable reduction in drag.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | As of the 0.23 update, the LY-10 Small Landing Gear has the ability to steer, allowing sharper turns on the ground. This can be toggled either through tweakables or in flight.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The practical load limit for a single LY-10 wheel is about 7 tonnes.
