18405m my current best https://imgur.com/gwITcl1

Whats the record altitude for electric flight?

how it looks currently

Looks amazing and is 100% guaranteed to kill up to three lucky Kerbals. Performance is worlds apart from other SSTO's. Fly up to 1000m using the ships conventional engines and then activate the ships patented RasTech self-destruction and Kraken drive unit. Will leave the kerbin system from launch. *Please note. Current version will not leave Eve's surface in one piece. In fact none of the pieces will leave. https://kerbalx.com/erasmusguy/Prototype-Kraken-Drive-SSTO for the craft file. https://www.twitch.tv/videos/243407076 to see the SSTO in action.

Work in progress B-24J. Currently has a max speed of 55m/s using 4 electric motors. The front and rear turrets are working. Working with Xenome to get her finished. https://www.twitch.tv/videos/242627685 to see landing.

Something I'm working on.

Thank you. I did one with the grey fairing bit hidden but it has an annoying jagged edge.

Updated version I made for FAR. https://kerbalx.com/erasmusguy/FAR-j29f for the craft file should anyone want it.

Don't think this has been done before so I've posted it here. Might be useful. A quick turboprop inspired by the krakentech engine the streamer Million_lights was working on. Im on holiday so I'm not going to work on this one for a while. https://kerbalx.com/erasmusguy/a-quick-kraken-powered-turbo-prop for the craft file to show the idea. The landing gear is slightly compressed by the structural wall and this spins the shaft.

A prototype for an Antonov An-2. Early days but it flies nicely. Top speed is around 59m/s in vanila atmosphere. https://kerbalx.com/erasmusguy/Bi-plane-prototype for the craft file but I'm going to keep working on it.

It works well and is as reliable. It's a bit more limited than the normal bearing's as it's larger and it doesn't out perform an all rcs thruster bearing.

Ive used ball bearings before but never with as much success as these. I tried using z-200 batteries previously and they "sort of" worked but not reliably so.

Experimenting with two engines. counter-rotating engine.

Ball bearing engine. The central shaft is only held in place by the ball bearings that surround it. https://kerbalx.com/erasmusguy/Ball-bearing-small-engine but its early days.
