Have you ever wanted to rain hell on someone from above? What about bombing your friends builds or the occasional village into oblivion? Have you ever wanted to play the United States in Vietnam, or do you simply want to watch the world burn?

If so, then this is the build for you!

This is my proof of concept: a fully functional, theoretically survival compatible, levitite orbital bombardment platform. Equipped with 24 heavy explosive steel deck guns, and 18 orbital napalm bombardment cannons, 2 magazines, 2 package frog port automatic restocking systems, a small lava generator, and a fully functional stabilization system, this levitite platform can autonomously float over your enemies at ANY Y level.

Unlike airships or planes, levitite is not affected by air pressure whatsoever, and if you can deal with the eye watering amount of lava required to get this thing in the air, you can rain hell on your friends and enemies from orbit so high that they likely won't be able to reach you until all that remains of your target is nothing but smoldering ashes.

Additionally, the ship as a top speed of about 75 blocks per second, which is terrible for your framerate and perfect for making a speedy and incredibly expensive getaway!

I plan on making some more economical levitite spaceships later, but for now I'm pretty satisfied with this proof of concept. I've attached a video demonstration of its capabilities to this post.

Enjoy!

Inspired by Mortal Engines, will flesh out later.

u/ShadedCheese post convinced me and cant look back now

I'm trying to build a helicopter

I have two large counter-rotating rotors, powered through Swivel Bearings. The rotors spin normally, but they generate zero upward force according to the diagram, so the helicopter doesn't take off.

The physics simulation is enabled.

I initially glued the whole structure together with Honey, but I have since separated the rotor assembly correctly through the Swivel Bearing.

The propellers visually rotate, but there is no upward force at all.

Create: 6.0.10
Create: Aeronautics: 1.2.1

Is there something I'm missing about how Propeller Bearings / Swivel Bearings need to be assembled for lift to work?

can any one help me with this problem i'm having i started making this VTOL type thing and suddenly when i tried to test fly the prototype the torsion spring stopped working. it would still limit the angle to what i set but wouldn't center the swivel bearing back the one on the right is fine but the left one has this issue i double checked no rotation coming in no clue why it wont work.

forgot to put in the captions that it barely steers

Bum ahh plane I built like 2 months ago, in tot the build took like 3 days couse I was lazy, and spent 15 hours straight on the second day just Tryna compact the engine to fit in there, this is an older version too, I've managed to fit a level 2 steam boiler in there and added yaw, sadly tho had to remove the hood opening feature to fit the level 2 boiler

Also sry for the bum video quality, my pc dosnt got enough ram to run a recording software and Mc with more than 20 fps

Idk why but my ship wont budge even with a creative wand. The balloon rise is like 150k and the gravity is 20k. Pls help me

I have been specializing in designing airplanes ever since aeronautics came out a few months ago, and all my experience has culminated in this design. It takes a very simple and basic plane design I have been using for months, and packs a ton of features into it without making it much bigger or bulkier.

The best feature it has is a smart auto-fueling system that detects when the engine is about to run out of fuel and injects another piece of fuel using droppers. It works with any fuel type.

What would you change/add to make it more perfect?

I'm building a large Levitite spaceship to orbital bombard people from Y 4000 and while most things like the control system and self stabilization system are going well, the ship seems to be ambiently pitch upwards despite the Levitite force being at the center of mass as shown below.

The last slide shows the interior of the ship, where I've placed multiple layers of levitite in the back to try and get the levitite force on the center of mass. The middle band of levitite extends all the way around the interior of the ship.

Has anyone else run into this issue? How do I fix the Levitite pitching the ship upwards? I've tried counter balancing with hay in the front of the ship but it doesn't seem to be doing much. And while I did make a stabilization system that helps with the ambient pitch and roll of the ship it is very lava hungry (because propellers and other forms of thrust don't work in orbit) and for efficiency's sake it's probably much better to have the ship perfectly balanced to eliminate the need to guzzle like 8B per second lol.

Hi! I've been hard at work, working on Deserted Skies. This time, I'm a bit conflicted on how the fire embers look in the shot. Need some advice/thoughts!

>Deserted Skies is an Animated Show made within the Minecraft engine, based on Create: Aeronautics. It's a Steampunk-Western Epic set after the end of the world. I plan to release it 26th August. (Also! Got a discord up, but i dont think i can share here)

Would love to hear your thoughts, thank you!

I know it's been done before. But I wanted one. Lol

does anybody know what i need to do to make my ship stay upright without using a gyro of some sort, btw i am not using levite, i installed sable floaters for more imersiveness.

im trying to make a personal sized dune ornithopter and the wings like to kiss each other only when the craft is an active physics object, when its solidified the wings work perfectly

also hi

I am having a problem with the wheels of my, crate aeronautic. Of my create of Road Tires clipping through my contraption elevator when it is moving and when it assembles again, pops back. pops upward into the stratosphere. and Sometimes just hovering and not being movable by me.
