Aerostrider

The Aerostrider is an aerodynamically-controlled aeroplane built in Space Engineers.

Like a real airplane, the Aerostrider uses control surfaces to turn rather than gyroscopes (control surfaces and aerodynamic physics courtesy of DraygoKorvan).



The Aerostrider contains the following parts:
-4 small atmospheric thrusters.
-1 battery.
-2 small reactors.
-2 artifical mass blocks (for balance while on ground).
-Control surfaces.
-Plane Parts wheels.
-Plane Parts wing blocks (purely for aesthetic, as DraygoKorvan's aerodynamics override the Digi script).


The Aerostrider does also contain one single gyroscope. However, it is a low-power gyroscope and is mainly for stability and a little extra control, it contributes little to the craft's overall turning power. This gyroscope can be toggled on and off via the toolbar while in the cockpit.
