Re: Passive vs Active Gearing
That was a fun demonstration with max air pressure, we will dial it down to a softer push. The gear will always be touching the pusher or the peg, never launched. we plan to drive into contact with the airship so we know the exact distance from the peg to the gear. we hope to have an active way to clear fuel from between the bumper and airship. once we are aligned with the peg*, it is a few hundred milliseconds to place the gear well onto the peg.
*therein lies the real work
