Hydraulics out.

[Single stage to ocean]

Challenge

I want you to land a 747 style plane with part of its wing missing after being hit by a terrorist surface to air missile, and with no hydraulics(working control surfaces, feel free to lock them) Only allowed engine is goliath and panther in wet mode(gimbal locked), no gimballing(no servos you cheeky monkey) it is ok to angle engines slightly upward for roll control. No reactions wheels, and no brakes or reverse thrust, the thrust reverser is offline. Make the missile yourself, include screenshot before and after. More points for more wing missing, no VTOL.

FULL STOCK

P.S. Hyperediting a damaged plane into flight is ok, you removed some wing panels in the VAB.

Impress me:

Land an SSTO with any engine, no gimbal, no VTOL, no rocket(except in vacuum) landing gear is critically damaged and only the right side extends, no control surfaces(just lock them, using them above 40 k is ok(Imagine the hydraulics burned)) and disable reactions wheels, no Oxidizer or Monopropellant(no RCS or k-drive) I tolerate crumple landing gear on the left side(but only extend once and you cannot brake, and it has to be attached to a BG/stock hinge that allows it to collapse on landing.) In IRL planes without hydraulics  landing gear may collapse, in some planes.

STOCK, BG and MH ok.

BADGE SOON.

So the only means of control is adjusting the thrust limiter per engine, is that the idea?

Yup - it's been done more than once in real life. And one of those times they landed successfully. The other crash-landed, with half of the people surviving. So it is something that pilots know about, maybe even train for now.

Ever heard about united airlines flight 232? It’s been done before.

Have you tried this?

I would love to see an example.

Not to worry we are still flying HALF a ship.

I'll allow BDArmory but only missiles and a seperate leatherboard.

Panther has fast throttle control so I don't expect much goliaths.
