Box wing craft design?

[Cloakedwand72]

How do you go about making a box wing craft Design? Sorta like the one from Star citizen I.e the Origin 3000. Am wanting to make a air breathing SSTO with that wing design. And curious how will do they fly?

In general, KSP has problems with building anything in a loop. But you can get around that by using struts/autostruts to finish connecting the loop. So let's say that you build 3 sides of the "box", then add the top of the box and use struts to connect the ends of the top to the exposed ends of the other sides.

As for how well it would fly -- the star citizen craft have the CoL from their wings in entirely the wrong place, with no canards. As-is, they couldn't possibly fly.

In a more general sense, KSP does not care about wing orientation. Box wings will fly exactly the same as any other orientation of the same wing parts. (Assuming identical CoL, CoM, CoT, etc.)

Wing shape makes no difference to KSP aerodynamics. As long as the center of lift is a little bit behind center of mass, it will be fine.
