Triop Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 It's a WIP, but it looks promising... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mars-Bound Hokie Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 This prototype is basically Mk. II of this guy. It took several tries, and an unplanned aerobrake, but I at least managed to get it into orbit. This is a self-mining version of the Duna plane I posted earlier (see the attached link). Only THIS TIME, it's self-refueling and had 2,436 m/s of delta-V at approximately 140 km above Kerbin - and that was after the aerobraking shenanigan. I then decided to send it to Minmus for a test run to await landing and refueling. If all goes well, I may end up sending this to Duna instead of the Mk. I and the truck to go with it. I can even send this space shuttle-style (attach to a separate delivery rocket) to places like Ike or Dres - maybe even Eeloo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterKerman Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 I altered a recent beginners SSTO made with help from members on the forum. It's a very rocksteady, balanced, feather-light craft for hauling moderately generous 2.5m cargo payloads. Landing at 20mps on the runway once offloaded.

Korsakovski Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 Went back to messing with the vector engine and this is the result https://kerbalx.com/Korsakovski/Starburst https://imgur.com/gallery/hsibCli Should be capable of landing like a plane. Previous version did not have enough wing for that, (I would like to point out that if it had been crewed the entire crew would have survived.) dunno how this one is, landing hasn't been tested yet.

atassiedevil Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 Another from the BSG Skunkworks. Fleshy Humans beware. This has taken about 6 months worth of work to get the Aero model to something that will fly stably and work in space as well. Cylon Raider space superiority raider, SSTO capable, seats 2 humans. Has 2 seats, red light, and cargo bay wings to add extra endurance tanks, equipment, missiles, or what have you. Flys nice too. Available here. https://kerbalx.com/atassiedevil/Cylon-Raider Enjoy!

Triop Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 Upgrade on my WIP SSTO. Still in test fase. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Korsakovski Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 Made an interplanetary SSTO using my earlier non-SSTO Firebird as a template. Can land vertically like a rocket or horizontally like a plane. https://kerbalx.com/Korsakovski/VT-3-Stormcrow https://imgur.com/gallery/eEv07T1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also here's another build, this time a scaled down version of the Firebird non-SSTO spaceplane. https://kerbalx.com/Korsakovski/FG-2-Windrider https://imgur.com/gallery/cTuUNRL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Korsakovski Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 Since I was on a roll, I decided to remake the remake of the Beowulf Whiplash/Rhino SSTO. Other than the engine layout it's a pretty standard cargo SSTO that can carry 36 tons of cargo and 20 kerbals. https://kerbalx.com/Korsakovski/BFP-Beowulf https://imgur.com/gallery/3MLPCaY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fox Arcana Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 On the right is the FS-PR Journeystar. Capable of Mun landings and refueling using an in-built mining and ISRU rig for extended range. On the left is the FS-PR Spectre, modified from a Minmus training SSTO to be able to send a rover along with 6 crew to Minmus. Below is the prototype of Spectre landed on Minmus, complete with its crew and cargo. Download links are available through the forum post in my signature.

fulgur Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 I thought I'd post a couple of my long-range SSTOs: The Starchaser-II two seater ISRU-equipped long range SSTO, with a range from here to Minmus! (And, with the twin drills, beyond.) The Aether 1 LF-only SSTO has barely 800m/s in orbit, but that's enough to get it to a station, where its full range is more like 3km/s. https://kerbalx.com/hangars/55750 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reinhart Mk.1 Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 Trying to recreate the look of the jedi starfighter, it actually took a lot to get this thing to fly without flipping Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fox Arcana Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 (edited) This one's a WIP. It's supposed to be able to carry 10 tons to the Mun and return to Kerbin. Edited March 12, 2019 by Fox Arcana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Space Cowboy Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 Hi, I am 3 for 3 landings and I've just tried out the mining / refueling. It's working. Stock 1.6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yakuzi Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 (edited) This thread's been pretty quiet lately... We can't have that! I finished a couple of stock/vanilla SSTOs recently (apart from visual mods). First up is the "Riptide" class transport SSTO, which can bring a 4.5t payload to 100x100km orbit: Then there's the "Vortex" class VTOL SSTO, a two seater that can land on the VAB, then reach 70x70km orbit, and land back on top of the VAB again: Grab your copy from KerbalX if you want to take either craft for a spin, you can also find the flight instructions there. Riptide craft file and album Vortex craft file and album Looking forward to seeing more awesome SSTOs posted here again!
