Biggest Plane with a Juno

That's a nice-looking plane, but I'm afraid I can't afford to bend the rules.  Any chance you could rebuild it with normal-sized pylons or other structural members?

Ok, I will in a few days. I’m doing something for a couple of days and don’t have an opportunity to play Kerbal right now.

Done!

10,578 kg on takeoff, 10,421 kg on landing.

Don't worry, this one is fully stock!

Looks good!  You've been added to the leaderboard

Question:

Does my Juno need to be used directly as the source of thrust or may I devise.. alternative... ways to use the Juno for propulsion? The plane in my PFP uses if I remember correctly 144 Junos to turn props, but I think I could design something that used a single Juno to spin a prop or rotor.

Do it anyway cause I really wanna see that. Seems like a new method of propulsion may be the way to beat the current record.

Using the Juno to drive a propeller with its exhaust gasses is probably ok.  Using it to generate electricity to drive electric propellers is not.

Here it is: JunoSlab-51

 

I saw this challenge on a signature and thought: "Hey, I'll give this a try. Sure it's an old thread, but what the heck"

Then I read through the entries... and saw this monster... OK, so nevermind. This has already been accomplished. LOL

Regardless of being able to beat the record it's a nice excesize in building as well as piloting, so by all means go for broke and challenge your skills

If nothing else it'll prepare you for a next challenge and it might give you a good feeling about your accomplishment
