The ram nacelle at the front doesn't do anything atm, and should be at the engine, not the intake, for any effect. The radial engine body does actually cool effectively, so i suggest using that at the engines instead.

Can't anyone but me make a glider that can fly at only 30 m/s? Anyways, couldn't the parachutes be used for braking and not a direct fall? That's usually what I do to stop oversized aircraft.

For the space concord, I'd try using only turbofans to get up to 15KM then firing SRBs and liquid engines at the same time while deactivating turbofans. When the SRBS turn off, drop them and continue firing the liquids to get wherever you want.

These two are my pride and joy. The delta cruisers, available in both mechjeb and non-mechjeb. [ATTACH=CONFIG]31815[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]31814[/ATTACH] The delta cruiser is a twin engine high-speed cruiser. Though she is no fighter, she is both fast and maneuverable. She can also glide quite a distance after running out of fuel. Most notable are the twin rudders and the odd (even for a delta shape) wing design that gives both stability and control. It is so stable it is hard to get out of control and even after tumbling out of control can recover in less than 1000 meters with engines. On the runway, the plane is level with the ground and can take off at less than 100 m/s. Fully loaded, she is 20.1 tons and has a twr of 1.34. Because I can't figure out how to do embed images, here's a direct link to the album. http://imgur.com/a/gQqrl#0

Nuclear fission? Edit: wait that was still the first riddle. This thread *exploded*!

VTOLS have one problem. The downwards facing engines destroy anything underneath them, which destroys the carrier. I think a glider type going at like 10 m/s (i've done it before) will land, but it might be too heavy.

TIME! I think. The more I think the less sure I am.
