LittleBitMore Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 -57 (-) Tell me more about spaceplanes so i can steal borrow the information for my own spaceplanes. So far, all I know is "center of lift behind center of mass", "landing gear right behind center of mass", and the engine setup you mentioned.

Use Vernors instead of 4 way RCS and have a pointy nose, use the inline Mk1 and Mk2 ports. 2) Have enough engine to get past 400m/s. HOWEVER YOU CAN. Seriously, somebody made a SSTO with a pair of SRBs attached. 3) After 400m/s you get this burst of power from your RAPIERs. If you have enough engine, you can ascend at maybe 15-20 degrees, if not, at around 5 to 10. 4). Ignite space-only engines (Terriers, nuclear) as low as possible. On Kerbin that's around 18km. You can find out by fiddling with the slider or waiting for ISP to be nearly 100%. 5) Switch RAPIER mode as late as possible, because air-breathing is so much more efficient. Around 23-25km depending on your intake air. Edited December 31, 2019 by fulgur Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe 4 if you can't get the profile right, that's definitely overkill though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's for nuclear craft of course. Here's one of my earliest SSTOs: https://kerbalx.com/fulgur/Starchaser-II Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
