Flying Wing SSTOs ?

Recommended Posts

Anybody made one?  I'm ok with the SSTO part,   but have never really made a flying wing.      This is about as close as i ever got,  but it still has some naughty vertical surfaces.   Gotta have that yaw stability.

Also,  think it got hit rather badly with the ugly stick.    It shifts though.  Looks to have quite a bit of delta V (as you'd expect,  given there's no payload beyond Jeb)

Hope you don't mind mods and enormously OP parts...personally I'm no longer dedicated to KSP enough to make anything realistic anymore!  It's so much fun to go into sandbox mode and make the most outrageously awesome craft!!!

Anyway, I liked your challenge, so I put this craft together using some OPT parts and the Torch Drive (because, why not!)  Now it does have some stabilizers at the wingtips, but I think the only other option you'll have would be to just clip in a bunch of large reaction wheels... KSP doesn't have yaw-controlled speed brakes to my knowledge...

The Space Wing is really nicely balanced, and having such a huge wing area it's almost impossible to stall... I had fun orbiting and landing at the desert field.

This was a really fun exercise!  Of course, stock parts would be a bit more limiting...  someone should create a yaw-control-controlled-airbrake then you wouldn't need vertical surfaces at all...
