Child's play. 

 

I'll start us off with the plane that helped me get Thread of the Month for January 2020, Bill's Car.

 

 

Below are pictures of it in action.

  Hide contents

• Plane in the SPH

 

• Dangerously hot cruising speed and altitude as it's circumnavigating Kerbin
  • Hey, Grarey, what are you doing in Bill's jet?

 

• Less than 75 km away from the KSC, and on final approach

 

• Perfect landing
  • Flying time: 53 minutes and 18 seconds

 

In case you're curious, here's the award-winning thread that the plane made its debut in. The challenge is over now, but feel free to ask me on DM if you want to restart it.

 

If you want to see any more planes, feel free to check out my KerbalX page.

Nice! i mean, this does count as a spaceplane right? good job!

Bill's Car is more like a regular plane, since it's not capable of achieving LKO.

But i guess it can achieve a sub-orbital trajactory like spaceship 2 right?

I'll submit my masterpiece of Kerbal-ish engineering, the KLF-101 D VTOL.

I've got a whole bunch of lore explaining why it happened on KerbalX.
