Title: speed/climbrate charts for 163 in comparison tool
Post by: RTHolmes on August 30, 2010, 09:44:02 AM
the speed/climbrate chart generator on the stats page is a fantastic tool :aok

163 is missing though :(

I mean seriously, not to be an bellybutton but what were you planning on comparing it to? The Millenium Falcon?

No, the speed of light.

no, it doesnt, it has a warp drive just like the enterprise, i believe the x-wing fighters also had a warp drive.  that's how Luke travel to find Yoda.

I want to see if this is possible, which is shorter wing span, RV-8 or 163?

The Millennium Falcon had a hyperdrive (like the X-Wing, B-Wings and Y-Wings) that allowed it to travel .5 past lightspeed.  Yeah, I'm a Star Wars nerd.

I take it back, upon further research found this:

Hyperdrive propulsion systems (occasionally called warp drives) were vital starship components that allowed starships to enter hyperspace  to traverse the vast distances of space at faster-than-light speeds, and thus were a key technology in the foundation of intergalactic society, trade and war. The construction and working principle of hyperdrives was based on Hyperdrive Theory. The term was used to describe the engine and all components required for its use, such as the hyperdrive motivator or hyperdrive field guide.

In numbers, the hyperdrive allowed travelers to traverse a galaxy spanning over 120,000 light years in only a few hours or days, the exact travel time depending on a number of factors including destination, point of origin, route, and class of hyperdrive.

The hyperdrive was generally built from a titanium-chromium compound. This compound was specially designed for hyperdrives to allow them to stand up against continual stress put on them jumping between the dimensions of realspace and hyperspace.


no way they could go at 1.5x speed of light.  the falcon had a customized Class 0.5 hyperdrive which according to the star Trek calculations it is 1.5x the speed of light, however in star wars han mentions that in 5 min the falcon can be on the other side of the galaxy, which suggests a much faster speed than 1.5x the speed of light,  even with a jump into hyperspace (which is not necessarily a straight line flight).

btw heard that Star Wars might be released in 3D sometimes in the future (all episodes).


oh yeah one final thing I spent 3 hours researching this info, it cut into my ah time, so I will discuss it no further  :bolt:

dont trust that solo guy, he thinks a parsec is a unit of time :rolleyes:

How many parsecks would it take the Komet to make the kesel run?

Well, a parsec is a unit of distance and not time and 1 parsec = 3.26 light years or roughly 19 trillion miles.  When Han made the Kessel Run, he wasn't referring to the time it took him to make the Kessel Run but rather how he shaved 6 parsecs off(the Kessel Run was normally 18 parsecs) by skirting a black hole cluster along the route. 

So how long would it take a Komet to make the Kessel Run, well they would most likely take the normal route (18 parsecs). Also, being that most likely the Komet driver is a Lufthwhiner and doesn't have the skill necessary to skirt the black hole cluster to take the shorter route, would be roughly 58.8 light years.  However, using Chalenge's Theorum on Inter-Stellar Travel At High Altitude to Perserve Fuel and Increase Propulsion, it could be shortened to 16 parsecs or 52.16 light years.

For better or worse, there is no way the 163 climbs this slow or goes this slow, but I'm sure everyone knows that already. I know I've seen over 15,000 ft/min sustained climb on the ESB. Anyone else see any better than that?

Sorry, those were the old charts.
