Tutorial:Asparagus Staging/zh-cn
芦笋节式分级是一种设计高效火箭的方法。
其主要思想是，设计一个并联许多发动机的火箭，这些发动机上方装有燃料箱。所有发动机同时点火，而这种设计的特点在于：发动机并不是各自消耗自己顶部的燃料箱，而是所有发动机一起从最外侧的两个燃料箱中获取燃料。当最外侧的两个燃料箱耗尽，它们连带着下面的两个发动机一起被分离。下一对燃料箱（它们的燃料还是全满的）将投入使用。这种火箭始终带着所需要的尽可能少的燃料箱飞行，并且一直可以使用所有它还携带者的发动机。
这个设计可以通过将燃料管按分级顺序依次连接燃料箱来做到。这个设计利用了发动机总是尝试从离它最远的燃料箱获取燃料的特点。
游戏附带的 "Kerbal X" 演示了这个技术。
目前的缺陷
The biggest disadvantage of this technique is the complexity of building it. While building one layer of 6 fuel stacks connected to the central stack by asparagus is relatively easy, higher payloads will require more layers of fuel stacks and struts, and this overall makes the technique challenging and laggy(due to the high part count)
Another disadvantage is that rockets utilizing this design are generally unaesthetic and unrealistic, which also results from attaching many SAS modules, the lack of nosecones(due to their negative impact on performance).
These disadvantages can be solved by installing rocket part mods that provide fuel tanks and engines of larger sizes, allowing you to achieve equal performance with less parts, more stability and better looks.
The rocket tends to start to rotate when using this type of Staging. The rotating will result in a loss in control of your craft so this is something to be remembered when trying Asparagus Staging.
后续的缺陷
Asparagus staging benefits a lot from the inaccurate way KSP is modeling atmospheric drag in the current version (0.20.2). Currently, each part of a vessel generates drag proportional to its mass, regardless of how it is placed and how much of its surface area is exposed to the direction of the airflow (yes, that means all the Aerodynamic Nose Cones you put on your rockets just slowed them down even more). The developers have already announced that the aerodynamic model will be made more realistic in future versions, which will likely mean that the wide, flat designs of asparagus-staged crafts will generate a lot more atmospheric drag than slimmer designs with vertical staging.
The new atmospheric drag model is unlikely to make asparagus staging completely obsolete as there is a planned real-life rocket which uses this method with one stage [1], but it will likely make it a lot more challenging to create aerodynamic crafts which use this technique excessively.
