Description
Heavy WIP

Place the AERO block on a creation and it will make it behave like every block has drag on its 6 sides.
You may use multiple AERO blocks if you want your bombs or similar to be able to decouple and still have the physics.
This block calculates a rough estimate of forces (air drag) on the 6 sides of each cube of the creation. Not to be confused with an actual computational fluid simulation. It is not compatible with Wings mod blocks, as their effect will overlap.

Use with caution and always save your creation!!

@Reaper47 You need to angle the wings to get level flight. This isn't a fluid simulation. Also, this isn't an email to the president. Lol.

Dear, Dasetwas

I recently found your mod in hopes of creating a plane in scrap mechanic. I started with a box with wings that almost worked, and then I tried a jet with larger wings for (in theory) more lift. The plane seemed to not lift at all, so I need your help. Plus, who knows if we can troubleshoot a thing or two. I can upload my jet If needed, but I really need your help.

Sincerely, Reaper47

What this mod is for? Is it possible to build planes with it?

this doesnt work

Is it possible to make an airfoil shape to generate lift?

yes crashes my game

the mod does not work that way, that must be placebo
