That said, there’s a lot to be learnt just by watching. ![]() He’s usually working on some kind of KSP project, is very knowledgeable, and – if you’re lucky – might even answer any burning questions you have. If that sounds too much like homework, try watching EJ_SA on Twitch. Luckily, the best in the business – NASA – have a site they call the Beginner’s Guide to Aeronautics that explains all of these theories and how they apply in practice across passenger aircraft, military aircraft, and of course space flight. Without this foundation, your builds will be nothing but hit-and-hope blind trials. ![]() Yes, you read that right – to get a plane off the ground in Kerbal Space Program you’re going to need at least a passing knowledge of aviation and aerodynamic concepts like thrust, lift and drag. Here’s what I learnt… Learning the theory I saw this as walking before I ran, but it was surprisingly tricky to get a balanced plane out of the hangar and into the air. After getting a couple of satellites into orbit in Kerbal Space Program, I decided I wanted to take to the skies in a plane.
