IE, the same thing that Falcon Heavy is triying to do on real world.
- lightbyte 9y agoI thought they scrapped the crossfeed fuel idea because it was too complicated?
- smasty 9y agoThey did.
- TeMPOraL 9y agoKnown both in KSP and space industry as "asparagus staging", it's a pretty old idea. It's tough to implement in real life, though, because pumping fuel around adds a non-trivial amount of complexity to the rocket. FH might be the first ever production rocket to use it, actually. EDIT nevermind, I didn't realize SpaceX scrapped the idea too.
