FARGE Beta v4.1

Requires: Ferram Aerospace Research >= v0.16.1.2

Recommends: Kerbal Wind Continued and KerbalSoaring

Introduction FARGE (Ferram Aerospace Research Ground Effect) is a mod for KSP 1.12.5 which implements a simplified model of ground effect compatible with Ferram Aerospace Research. It is inspired by but a wholly separate project from Ground Effect by Capital-Asterisk, which is a great mod but not compatible with FAR aerodynamics.

Ground Effect This mod works by applying an increasing drag reduction modifier as you descend below an altitude equal to your wingspan. At an altitude at or below 50% of your wingspan, you will receive a 50% reduction in induced drag. This makes takeoffs easier and landings harder. It also enables large ground effect vehicles with low TWR to fly in ground effect where they would otherwise not be able to.
