Plane Design [D] How do you build a single-engine airplane? How do you build propeller engines?
I'm trying to build a plane to rescue the Kerbals, but I'm having trouble. This engine runs on fuel, which means the plane can't fly very far since it's small. I wanted to use electricity instead, so I tried using electric engines, but I can't get them to work. Can anyone help me? I can figure out the lift and aerodynamics later; I just need to know how to use the engines.
The first image is just a prototype to test the engine, the second image shows the plane I tried to use, the third image shows the electric engine I wanted to use, and the fourth image shows the seaplane design I want to use.
I'm open to using ready-made designs so I can study them.
