Seems that the control system only tries to guide it on the X & Y axis, but if I was controlling it and saw it coming in at that steep angle, I'd fire hard on the Z axis to try to raise it up, fix the angle, and then lower it down again.
Is it correct to say that this landing control system never tries raising the craft vertically?
- grecy 11y agoIt's tricky because it can't hover, one engine on minimum provides too much thrust. So if you do raise it up, you'd have to stop the engine, then wait a little and re-light it again.. which I think is tricky to do, and the engines only have so many "re-light" cycles in them, so you don't want to use up too many , else you can't re-use the thing for another real flight.
