Description

Media Type: Text

Status: Classified

The VTOL rocket platform was mainly designed to lift

an enourmous amount of weight to an altitue of about 20.000 meters.

From there on, the rocket will start their engines and boosters.

The VTOL rocket platform is 100% reusable and is also capable of moving

a whole rocket to another location on kerbin. This system is very

cheap and can replace the first stage of every rocket. Orbit missions can

be archived by just using one Booster and a small tank of fuel.

These material is for internal use only. Leaked materials can lead to insolvency of our space agency.

ALL SECURITY ISSUES WILL BE INVESTIGATED BY THE KBI.

Cool idea, but you are not using it to it's full potential.

Why not add some horizontal speed as well?

Above 14000m it should not be too difficult to get a horizontal velocity of around 1000m/s and that would put you at nearly half of orbital velocity...

With more air intakes you could probably also get higher and faster.

I'll need to look at building one of these as a first stage money saver...

Thank you Terwin! That are good ideas. I will upgrate the VTOL rocket platform with more air intakes and can add horizontal velocity by turning the craft to the side. I will create a new prototype and show it here

Shouldn´t this thread be moved to the Spacecraft Exchange? I mean, its a spacecraft!

All craft you want to share normally go there, and you can also download other people´s creations on this place.

Sorry it took me so long to share them, but here are A few pics of my own platform

Shared from my google drive as there are about 30 of them and I don't want to slow the thread loading for others.

Nice build Terwin This one is optimized for fewer parts. I like your construction ^^
