SHiftER2O

that is just awesome

Basically, it's a piggy-back ride to space (In your case, a reverse-piggy-back ride) I'll show some examples

What this is called, is a SATO, a Shuttle Assist To Orbit I wonder why not many use this concept when having trouble with SSTOs

What are the statistics of this aircraft? (i.e. base weight, blah blah)

Now if you'll excuse me, I'll go playing more with this

Please see this

Most of your designs seem to revolve around the idea of cramming everything into success. Why does that not work in college?

Why doesn't this get some attention! It's quite awesome!

Holy crap.

How ever will this even? xD- - - Updated - - - Looks like something from Acme xD

I love it ! An 80km orbit is crazy enough, plus the reliable design of the KORE 402? Dude that is awesome Rep man, Rep - - - Updated - - - Could you possibly try a Liquid Fuel only SSTO?

It looks quite adorable xD

We would like to humbly apologize for your inconvenience -__-

By Cessna 150 & 208 Series Replicas! This series of replicas offers detailed constructions of the evidently less focused types of aircrafts here at the forums. Civilian aircrafts, such as these, are very much easy to fly, and fun to fly around if you ever have that good vibe when flying in a sweetspot not-to-slow and not-too-fast speed. These aircrafts are designed to cruise in the air and let you take all the time you need to get that good glimpse view of the landscapes, or if that's not your cup of tea, then there's the kerbalization alternative that lets you launch off your favorite kerbals off some remote place and never return, in air! The Cessna 150 is a two-seat tricycle gear general aviation airplane that was designed for flight training, touring and personal use. Development of the Model 150 began in the mid-1950s with the decision by Cessna Aircraft to produce a successor to the popular Cessna 140 which finished production in 1951. The main changes in the 150 design were the use of tricycle landing gear, which is easier to learn to use than the tailwheel landing gear of the Cessna 140, and replacing the rounded wingtips and horizontal and vertical stabilizers with more modern, squared-off profiles. Because of its low requirements for flight operation, the Cessna 150 doubles as a funplane in the areas of the space center, usually brought upon to endure stress relieving breezes in the sky or for new area reconnaissance when used in missions. The Cessna 150 is a staple, multipurpose two seater plane, for all your flight-easy endeavors.

In this replica though, the Cessna 150 Patroller is a variant of the Cessna 150 that features an added E.J.E.C.T.O.R.S. system installed in the aircraft, complete with mapped controls, blow-off roofs, ejecting seats, and all the more what you would need to send your Kerbal flying off of the thing that got it flying in the first place.

Capable up to nine seats of crew, The Cessna 208 Caravan is a reliable short A-to-B hauler for most Kerbals, having a rather relaxed and easy flight profile than a fast-paced one. With cues and design signatures coming from its little brother, the Cessna 150, the Cessna 208 Caravan ensures a relaxing fly-by over the faces of Kerbin, along with friends! Much like a flying RV, the Cessna 208 Caravan could be used to bring you almost anywhere given it's in Kerbin and within range of the Cessna 208's mileage. Funny enough, the Cessna 208 Caravan is a lot cheaper than the full-options Cessna 150 Patroller, so there's that to take not when putting side by side these models.

You would guess, that in this replica, the Cessna 208 Grand Caravan is a variant of the Cessna 208 Caravan with features like the added E.J.E.C.T.O.R.S. system installed in the aircraft, complete with mapped controls, blow-off roofs, ejecting seats, and all the more what you would need to send your Kerbal flying off of the thing that got it flying in the first place. Talk about lazy description making, basically it has more "fun" in it. Why launch only two kerbals off a plane at a time when you can launch nine? Although keep in mind, the Cessna 208 Grand Caravan is more expensive than say, all of the three other models combined. Get your priorities straight.

No need for apologies man, your stuff is epic! - - - Updated - - - The Cessna 208 Grand Caravan! It's quite simple what this is. An enlarged, crew-capable Cessna 150 Patroller! Capable of up to 9 seats of cre capacity, and handling with style, we decided to give this testing a green go! Take-off for the Cessna 150 and the Cessna 208 falls under STOL class, although there are plans to upgrade the Cessna 208's powerplant. There's the usual two models, the Cessna 208 Caravan is the base model that features no E.J.E.C.O.R.S and blow-off rooftop, and the Cessna 208 Grand Caravan features both of those. Aerodynamics-wise, the Cessna 208 is rather slow, being only powered by a single basic jet, and plans of upgrading this to a dual basic jet are on the way Dun DUN Chasing the sun SUN - - - Updated - - - E.J.E.C.T.O.R.S. testing for the Cessna 208 Grand Caravan Blow off that roof! Slapstick success We get a clear green for the seats, no obstructions, wide clearance, definitely safe And the green light marker is here An instant success marks the preparation for the release of the Cessna series

How do you get those renders?

Hmm, have to give this a try

So this can land in water?

Holy.....

Why not just use mk3 cargo bays?

Is this for atmospheric or orbital flights?

God, that is beautiful.

Wait, mother russia? isn't the flying wing from america?

YOU CALLING ME OFF BRO??? XD That is AWESOME DUDE!!!
