Radam Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 (edited) Ok, this is kinda a mk2 spaceplane. Missing a few things, but still I got 4.5t tank inside a cargo bay into orbit with 25t spaceplane. http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/534018071206922903/8C58AF189E7F312CE376907215FC6B7AAC196B53/http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/534018071206923264/2CC1F32526D764B53B018EC2ADAD188362B8DE9B/No fins, no frontal intakes... Mechjeb is reporting this has drag coefficient of 4. Edited April 30, 2015 by Radam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eddiew Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 (edited) She's not the prettiest lady in the hangar, but the Onager C flies with only turbojets and LV-45s and can still get your satellites to orbit reliably. Works with new 1.0.1 lift/drag model Barely breaks 600 kelvin on the way up, engineer is crediting the pointy nose.

Radam Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 So I got a mk3 spaceplane into orbit in 1.02. I had to do a drag reduction by clipping some adaptors. Otherwise the drag would be twice as much. And I had to jump over the mach wall by climbing to 11k and dropping down for speed. Curiously this lifts off at the middle of the runway. Too many wings I guess.

sal_vager Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 Very nice SSTO's old and new, thanks KissShOt, stickied for May Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radam Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 This is Space Turtle for!, a very streamlined craft for a mk3. It has like drag coefficient of 6 on the runway. Cannot break the sound barrier without dropping from 11k with some help. But I havent yet managed it to get into orbit with a full orange tank inside the hull. Anyone wanna try? https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B6nxlhq2hYQ5VEZ6WGNRY0NOeEU/view?usp=sharingBtw, I took my liberty of clipping the engines as thats the least I can do to fight the soup.

Rune Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 (edited) Remember what I said about rocket SSTOs in 1.0 being easier? Well, they are. 40mT to orbit at 12.5% payload fraction, √150K, 88 parts without payload. And a lot of cheap fuel.Rune. Coming Soon™.

ak8 Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 (edited) My first completed SSTO in 1.0.

Rune Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 Whoa, that's big! Would it be able to glide it's way back down or something?Sure, it's balanced to fly perfectly fine when empty of all fuel, and being so big and light, that's always incredibly easy to achieve. I went the extra mile and put a couple of auxiliary turbojets in case you come out of reentry really far away from KSC.Rune. At least that's the idea, up like a rocket, down like a feather.

eddiew Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 Something before I get into nuFAR, which would probably throw a hissy fit over this one Respectable dummy payload carried on this run; add the satellite of requirement, or swap it for a couple of fuel cans and it'll just about make Munar orbit and back. I think. Maybe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frozen_Heart Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 My first three SSTOs in 1.0 onwards. They're so easy now its great. Can't get a decent range out of them though. 1K dV in orbit at the most.Apparently they all look like hot dogs and not aircraft though...

Mikki Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 (edited) Hi All ...This is the K 176 (188) SSTO, 176 ton Wetmass (188ton with Sparetanks).It pulls a 36ton Payload (Orange Jumbo Tank 64) to 85x85km LKO easely. If you dare take off the Sparetanks, it still reaches 85x85km,the amount of Fuel remaining depends then only on your flightskills... CAUTION: this Craft requires "SUPERDUCTTAPE" provided by KERBAL JOINT REINFORCEMENT MOD, without spontaenious disassembly will happen... Sorry Vanilla-users, the responsible Kerbal engineer has been put to lawn mowing to overthink his unreasonable failure not to communicate this... important detail. Snacks while mowing have been deleted also.The Craftfile is here, Stockparts 1.0.2, you can download and try https://www.dropbox.com/s/ot5pi8qv2ejuu88/MIKKIs%20K%20176%20%28188%29.craft?dl=0How to fly:Hire some unwilling Kerbonauts of your choice, maybe Jeb should do the Job...Raise the Ladder, hit spacebar, throttle up the Ramjets, climb with 300m/s at 35 degrees till 12500m,keep the ascend path at 30-40 degrees and reach 1000m/s at 20000m,hit spacebar, the Mainsail kicks you outside the Soup, when the Rams top off at 25000 hit 1,the Rams shutdown.Activate RCS, go Prograde, open the Map and cutoff the Mainsail (2) at Apo 75 or 85Km.Create a Manouver to circularise, engage Mainsail (2), open Solarpanels (4).Go EVA with Jeb and let him clean the Mainsail from Spacegunk.Release the Jumbotank and well... Happy Landing.Transfer some Liquids to the Front before descending.Disable SAS when reaching the Runway and hit the Brakes, or Jeb will have a serious accident at KSC, again.

FlipNascar Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 Getting there with being able to put more than just a Kerbal into space. Can now do 7-8t with this aptly named Space PLANE 7t. I really need to work on my naming, but it's more of a tech demonstrator so I can have some pre-cooked stuff for my career save. Although the more I tinker in Sandbox, the less I want to continue with the Career.Now that they can get up there, time to make it more pretty. And I should stop doing it all at sunset. Always circularizing in the dark. And the Ap/Pe are shot to crap, because I was browsing the forums while coasting to AP and missed the manoeuvre node by about 60seconds...

eddiew Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 (edited) what the....1) CoM ahead of the CoL at all fuel levels; check.2) Decent wing surface; check.3) TWR > 1.5 at mach 0.9 and 10km; check.That's all you need for nuStock The landing was a bit of a nose dive; need to move the chutes forward, clearly they're behind the dCoM, hence the destroyed intakes.All of a sudden I'm loving 1.0.2 for the silliness factor. I suspect 1.0 would have been just as good, but at least this sort of nonsense is still viable Edited May 4, 2015 by eddiew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
