    Speed at Altitude
  1. I'm a huge fan of the new larger landing gear, but I really wish they were steerable. I think the addition of this feature would increase the practicality of the new landing gear by quite a bit. Not sure if anything is going on with this yet or not.
  2. So far, it seems to be working just fine for me (high res).
  3. Structural beams! Specifically the cubic octagonal strut and modular girder segments.
  4. This is the Kaze, a high speed transport craft designed for carrying space probes to altitude before launching them. It's a bit finicky during high speed turns and landings are generally frightening as it tends to veer off course and roll over when landing at higher speeds.
  5. Providing substantial proof that great things come with late nights. Last night, I was just messing around in sandbox mode and I decided to create a high speed/high altitude aircraft. Little did I know that this aircraft would circumnavigate Kerbin, using only about half of its fuel, on its first test flight. Flight album: Download here! (It's a link!) The only mod required should be Spaceplanes Plus. Edit - Oh, yes - I should mention that TAC fuel balancer is highly recommended, as high speed and poor coordination balance do not mix! An SSTO version may be in the works, stay tuned!
  6. "You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Cupcake... again."
  7. I don't think you need to use infinite fuel to have 0.33 intake air at 12 kilometers. It's not really that high, I've been able to do it myself. I also believe that he's put tons of work into it and came up with something reasonable for the limitations provided by the game. The main issue I see with the intakes not looking correct is that the stock in-line cockpit isn't quite large enough for the B9 intakes. Overall, great work!
  8. Hey all! Today I want to show you one of my latest creations for gathering all the science around Kerbin and her moons - the Naga Mothership. Currently in orbit around Minmus, this large craft is capable of carrying 9 Kerbals (6 in comfort, 3 in the command module) and flying to all of the moons in the Kerbin system. It may be able to go farther, but I have not tested that yet. With an on-board research lab, she can act as a mobile space station of sorts. There are three docking ports on the craft for docking on landers and docking with stations. The Naga has 2 nuclear rockets and one poodle for maneuvering. The best part about this ship, it can be launched from KSC without using any cheats - just a really big launcher.

  9. Hello everyone! I'm here to share the newest aircraft series release from Arctic Aerospace - the K-900 series cargo and logistics support aircraft. PLEASE NOTE: Although the aircraft is completely stock, TAC Fuel Balancer is highly recommended due to the large amount of clipped fuel tanks (all of which can be used). This large aircraft has six basic jet engines on large wings. It is very balanced and can take off on its own (àla B9 Aerospace Strugatsky). Pictured here is the crew of three in front of the KSC Complex. The K-900 "Spirit of Kerbin" is shown in front of the "Skykerbal" near the Spaceplane Hangar. The aircraft in untested in FAR, but works exceptionally well in stock aerodynamics. Here is the first K-900 during its test flight to the island airstrip and back. Download Here! Action Groups - Pretty simple here! "1" - Engine Toggle "2" - Ladder Toggle I do hope you enjoy this aircraft - please answer the poll if you get a chance, I will post requested variants in this thread, or perhaps make an Arctic Aerospace thread in the Rocket Builders forum at some point as well.
  10. I have long held an obsession with two things, large planes and the SR-71 Blackbird. Naturally, I wanted to combine both into one. This concept manifested as the Sabre. The Sabre is a triple turbojet aircraft capable of high altitude flight and insane speeds - 1,367 m/s (3057.89 mph) during a test flight towards Kerbin City. This tops the SR-71's record of 2,193.2 mph. The current Sabre variant can't fly quite as high as the SR-71, but it makes up for that with incredible speed at its service ceiling. Current tests have reached a max altitude of 18,300 m. The aircraft itself if completely stock, however a variant is included that has the Vanguard Technologies ejection system for pilot safety. This has not been tested with FAR. Caution should be used upon landing, as the mass tends to shift backwards during flight (stays balanced in flight with use of SAS, however!) and likes to tip back if care is not taken during landing.
