Reaction Control System.....

Recommended Posts

.....I saw it once in a VTOL FM, in the engine section.

 

...what exactly does it do? :dntknw:

It consists of a series of small jets or nozzles that control pitch, roll, and yaw at low speeds. That is, at speeds below which the normal control surfaces become effective.

hmmm...... just wondering.....

 

...if made to overpower the engine...

 

...might this be used to simulate the rotor head on a helicopter? :dntknw:

From Kreelin's Mi-8 HIP FM, for example:

 

[38]

SystemType=REACTION_CONTROL_SYSTEM

InputName=PITCH_CONTROL

ReverseInput=FALSE

MaxThrust=31083.749

ThrustAngles=0.0,90.0,0.0

ThrustPosition=0.0,-4.969,0.0

ThrottleRate=5.0

MinThrustVectorInput=0.20

 

[39]

SystemType=REACTION_CONTROL_SYSTEM

InputName=ROLL_CONTROL

ReverseInput=TRUE

MaxThrust=8611.808

ThrustAngles=0.0,90.0,0.0

ThrustPosition=4.969,0.0,0.0

ThrottleRate=5.0

MinThrustVectorInput=0.20
