[1.20d]Minimum Takeoff Speed goes down with better engine
Posted: Sun Mar 26, 2023 2:52 pm
I tried out some different engine sizes in the savegame as well. The odd part is that it appears the Takeoff Speed goes down with bigger engines. Neither my understanding of physics nor the Designlog indicate that should be the case.

Takeoff Speed should be a function of Weight and Lift. Which should only ever go down with a bigger (heavier) Engine.
A bigger engine does mean:
It does become easier to reach the takeoff speed (given a higher max Ground Speed).
The overall takeoff distance should be shorter (as it is quicker to reach the distance).
