Neophron VI SSTO


Recommended Posts

This is my SSTO, the Neophron VI (named after a genus of vulture), capable of going to the Mun and back.

Specifications:

Part Count: 88

Mass: 72.560t

Height: 4.6m

Width: 22.8m

Length: 20m

 

Here it is on the Mun. It can make the trip no problem.

Here it is after a successful Mun trip, back on the runway.

Here it is in the SPH. Here you can really get an idea of its shape.

This flies nice and stable, and I really like the wing shape, it might be my new favorite craft.

Can it reach Duna? I mean there isn't much difference in DV between Duna and the Mun. Only about 1km/s. But looks cool! Love the wing shape!

Sadly, I don't think it can. It can only just reach the Mun, and it doesn't have the DV to make it to Duna it. I am planning on making a Duna SSTO, though.

Edit: Actually, it probably could reach Duna, just not land on it. (Which is what I thought you were asking about, sorry for the misunderstanding)
