anna oop sksksksk no decouplers ignore the jump cuts it all makes sense and no cheats 100% stock thank you mhmm and who needs to make a plane

Ummm, the rules say that the aircraft has to fly, and to make it clearer I looked up the definition of flying and it is 'moving or able to to move through the air with wings'. Which I don't think your entry does.

Cobra parked on the runway. (Even tough the wings look like they're part of a mod, they aren't. They are made of many stock wing elements.)

Pretty plane. Where do the crew and passengers hide? :)

I only had one really good SSTO

Thank you! The plane is controlled remotely even tough a crew pod can be hidden under the large nose cone.

I only ever made one effective SSTO and it was also uncrewed though it could carry passengers in the cargo bay.

It all comes from practice, even tough i just recently signed up on this site here, I'm playing KSP for quite some years and also only made a couple of SSTO's that effectively work. Unfortunately this plane isn't really a SSTO, it's just a plane for this speed record challenge. You could call it a suborbital plane, a bit orientated at the "Silbervogel" bomber concept, especially from the functionality.

I wonder what happens if you pop it into a highly elliptical orbit, and just drop the periapsis below 50 km and coast through it. Don't have to worry about spontaneous power plant meltage. It looks like you have decent enough dv to do so. 

Soooo, can i do it? Like technically this will no longer be a plane. Or will it…?
