Star Trek inspired SSTO/VTOL 1 Man Shuttlecraft "Grendel"

[Karmacoma]

So... there i was playing around in the SPH, a rerun of Voyager was on the box and this is what happened.

Weighing in at 11.36 Tons and made from 89 parts, i give you....

Grendel

Runway to 100Km orbit with 2-300 ÃŽâ€v left for maneuvers, underside docking port and plenty of RCS for docking.

Action Group Toggles

1. Turbojets

2. Rockomax 48-7S

3. Air Intakes

so...been there, done that, then lets make it a VTOL!

Grendel VTOL

slightly heavier than its non VTOL Brother weighing in at 12.49 Tons and of course a few more parts 95 of them this time.

Action groups as Grendel with this addition:-

4. Basic Jet Engine (VTOL Engine)

***WARNING***

Stage the craft only once, or things have a tendency to go bang due to the way the side tanks and engines are attached!
