This would be amazing to have as a part in KSP.

For one thing, think about the escape pods you could have.

The animation might be tricky, but I'm not sure how you'd handle the drag and lift--have an initial drag that increases but is displaced by lift at the end of the animation, maybe?

At any rate, this sounds really nifty and I hope someone takes it on.

I would love to see this, especially for a two kerbal lifting body entry pod

I have been looking for such a mod for so long.
