VIDEO! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 10 tons of pure power!!!
Thanks, here's video proof that it is an SSTO, no mods, no autopilots
It is orbital, it can go above 200k AP and PE if I play my cards right. the supermini isnt a v16 craft, the arrow is. About the arrow is easily landable, i swear by it.
I hope there's a spot for Manually flown minimalist With a take-off weight of just 11.64 tons (manual mode) and 10.02 Tons without ASAS and SAS (Still flyable, but requires more skill, or mechjeb) this is the 10.02 ton one, works best with mechjeb v0.15 I have attached the craft files supermini = one with SAS and ASAS Supermini2 = one without SAS and ASAS (mechjeb mode) The "supermini" prepares for takeoff Achieves Orbit above 70k with just a little fuel left for a re-entry burn. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Here is a video of the landing. Zero fuel and its gliding capability is superb.
I wasnt able to land on the runway because the craft had absolutely no fuel left for correction maneuvers. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Flight Report Very Maneuverable and glides gently. It would be very hard to get killed in the aircraft. Fuel is very tedious. You need to engage rockets at around 14,000 as the jet runs out of air to breathe. Shut off jet at 20,000 -------------------------------------------------------------------- Craft Weight Data cockpit = 1 fuel tanks = 5 wings and flaps = 0.08 landing gear = 1.5 Tail and flaps = 0.14 engines = 2.2 0.5 -rocket 0.5 -rocket 1.2 -jet fuel lines = 0.1 guidance systems = 1.60 total = 11.62 --------------------------------------- Weight without Asas and SAS (mechjeb mode) 10.02 Tons --------------------------------
