Challenge : Boats and Seaplanes

[Emilio]

You must create either a boat or seaplane (or both ). Here\'s the rules :

BOATS

Must be able to travel at least 30km

No RCS

Must be stable

No cheat parts

SEAPLANES

Must be able to land on land and on water

No RCS

No Mechjeb, dodADA and other computers

Must be stable on water

Minimum range 10km

Hope you\'ll have fun with it !

[boyercam]

Is this even possible?. Especially with no mods or add-ons. =P

Yes it\'s possible. Addons are allowed, but no autopilots.

[Cthulufaic]

Can you use RCS to put the boat in the water, then decouple the RCS?

[RedDwarfIV]

Nope.

Seriously, VA has been building seaplanes without such things for years. We don\'t understand the concerns.

Also, it doesn\'t say no propeller VTOL. We\'ll be utilising that so hard.

[Emilio]

Yope...er, yep, you can use RCS to put your boat on water, but you musn\'t have RCS upon landing. This is to avoid people using RCS for stabilisation in water.

[DYJ]

This counts as a seaplane?

Gets up to around 50m/s safely and can probably travel a few km in the water, while flying it gets surprisingly good range.

SMEG THAT IS AWESOME.

More awesome than Nyan Cat in a snowglobe.

Stop teasing and release those things!

But seriously, that looks awesome.

[Emilio]

That counts !

When are you going to release them ?

[SasquatchM]

Can float along the water totally unattended at max speed until it hits something and is capable of water landings and takeoffs.

[Emilio]

Wow, THAT\'s a plane !

[Tim_Barrett]

I\'ll enter my Yamato space battleship for both sides, as it is a boat with flying functionality.

[Tim_Barrett]

(just looked through imageshack library)

Actually, I would like to enter the Aquila in aswell. It doesn\'t really look like a boat, but it does fly, glide, and go really fast for a cargo ship.

The Yamato can only go 50m/s, but this one can go more than four times as fast.

[Vaisman]

Here you are. It can fly more than 10 km (prototype flew to the North Pole and came back), can land anywhere, the autopilot is not required.

[StelarCF]

TIM BARRETT WINS.

[RavingManiac]

Here\'s the speedboat I submitted for the Ocean Surface Speed Record.

Presenting... The Super SeaKat

Bob: So, how fast does this thing go? Fifty? Seventy-five? A hundred? I heard one of the scientists guys muttering something about waterspeed being limited by-AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!'

Note that the ASAS is the only thing saving it from fiery destruction when moving.

[zekes]

could you put up the .craft of it so I can try it?

I can only go 15 before i break up in my sub.

[Xanthie]

How do you bring this rockets in the water? I tryed this with Stock Parts and all was destroyed, only the two RCS-fuel-tanks and my Command Pod with the Parachute not.

[Vaisman]

is a special street magic

You have answered your question, try to use not only stock parts

[Xanthie]

Now I have rocket with stock parts, and it\'s landet on the water. Then it moves around. ONLY STOCK PARTS 8)!

[zekes]

Behold, the ZNS Moscow, a 12 laser Capital ship. Capable of 45 mph in a dead run, 30 mph for cruising. Uses 2 propellers and a suction engine for unlimited combat range, and more than enough lasers to destroy anything it comes up against, even in shallow water or moving through the air.

If anyone wants the .craft, i will send it to you via a PM, you need lots of mods for it to run right.

[EduardoTA]

This is the simplest(and also only compatible with demo)boat/rocket you will ever see:
