I present to you the Skylon Space Plane! The real thing. The Skylon spacecraft is a British experimental space plane. I based my design off the real craft, even though it's still just design specs! I've decided to try and create single stage space planes in Kerbal. This is the first design I've had luck with. You have to be very fuel efficient with this design. It is able to make an orbit but not with a whole lot of fuel left. It's pretty hard bringing it back down for a landing, it doesn't have a whole lot of lift so it enjoys spinning out around 2000 meters. I've only come close to one successful landing. I left RCS out of the design since it only adds weight and since it's a small ship it doesn't need it! I'm open to any advice on how to make the Skylon better or any techniques on how to maximize fuel carriage into orbit. Here's the .craft file to download, if you want to try it out for yourself! http://www./?rkyrzvu4w9w14d7
