| | | | |
| − | The '''LT-1 Landing Strut''' is used as a landing support when landing vertically.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | == Usage ==
| |
| − | The LT-1 is connected radially and extends with the {{Key press|G}} key (default). It does not extend as far as the larger [[LT-2 Landing Strut]], but is half as heavy.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | As they are relatively short, LT-1 landing struts need to be placed low on a rocket. They do not extend far enough to be used with [[LV-T30 Liquid Fuel Engine|LV-T30]], [[LV-T45]], or the [[Rockomax "Poodle" Liquid Engine|Poodle]], but can reach past the [[LV-909 Liquid Fuel Engine|LV-909]] and [[Toroidal Aerospike Rocket|Aerospike]]. A workaround with larger engines is using [[Parts#Adapters.2C_Couplers_.26_Struts|girders, I-beams, or panels]] to extend lower on the craft with a landing strut on each to contact the ground.

| |
| − | The maximum safe landing speed for an LT-1 landing strut is ~12 m/s. Landings with massive rockets or on rough terrain may need to be slower to avoid ripping off landing legs.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Each LT-1 leg can barely support 15 tons in Kerbin's gravity when sitting still. Each leg can absorb a gentle landing impact for a 3 ton load.

| |
| − | |It may have been originally designed as a heavy-duty metal detector, but this landing leg certainly emphasises an important fact in surface landings: you don't need to put a crater in the ground to stop yourself!
