Inclined Runway


Recommended Posts

Hi, there are certainly some possibilities with this kind of runways, for helping some "resilient" spaceplanes to leave ground, as well as there have been several concepts that use this kind of runway.

I suggest aside the stock runway (or wherever), a (or several) custom angled runway may be constructed, may be electrified or not (magnetic takeoff possible)...

I think a better approach would be this; when launching from the SPH, the player would be prompted if they wanted the supplemental takeoff ramp installed at the end of the runway. When disabled, a ramp model would be somewhere around the KSC, and the runway would be clear.

Also, this would have to be a VERY late-game item.
