Make a VTOL.

[Twinky827]

Allow me to present my own VTOL, the K-16:

It uses very powerful and stable RCS blocks to take off.

Once it\'s at a sufficient altitude from the runway, it activates its engine and speeds off.

It\'s an extremely maneuverable and stable plane, easy to fly with a manageable speed and both take-off and landing are very easy tasks with this RCS VTOL system. It\'s probably the best VTOL I\'ve ever made.

No RCS..

[Thobewill10]

Goal: make the biggest/heaviest/fastest vehicle. It must safely land vertically, fly horizontally and behave as well as possible. It must not lose any parts in any moment of its operation. Anything else is an extra.

Submit, if possible, as a video

Nothing about 'no rcs'

[Kreuzung]

Common sense ain\'t got nothing on me:

This made me laugh.

[SasquatchM]

My newest VTOL. This is probably my favorite.. it is tiny and fairly simply but can fly with no autopilot whatsoever and no RCS.

[jinxville]

here is my micro vtol.

why blocked for phones?

[SasquatchM]

I dunno, i didn\'t check \'blocked for phones\' let me see if i can fix it.

[SasquatchM]

Turns out it is blocked in germany because of the background music. I think it should still be viewable from a pc though.

[Kreuzung]

I\'m on french camping WLAN, so it can\'t be Germany, I\'ll try again.

I present, my VTOL. Simple, elegant, 4 jet fusalages for a decently long flight, and a lot of stability. I can take off with little horizontal speed, turn the engines to get up to a top horizontal speed of about 150 m/s at low altitudes, and land again with no parts lost. Quite arguably the best VTOL in terms of stability that I have seen.

[elmeerkat]

My VTOL (though maybe not so much on the landing unless you have skill or a nice computer) and aircraft carrier.

very laggy, but so stable it doesn\'t even matter. with the asas on it won\'t budge, without it can hold any angle with only minor adjustments.

on the runway

from the front

taking off

off the end of the runway gaining speed

gaining some altitude (could be accomplished with just the fans, but it\'s more fun with the turbines)

making a banked turn

turning its turbines around to slow down

slowing down

speeding up again

coming in for landing

on the ground, wishing KSP supported multiple craft in atmosphere in the air at once

and one last one with its speed. it can go faster, but has low acceleration

That thing is a beast! The creativity of people on here never ceases to amaze me! Is it made up of just stock parts?

[LongHairedHuman]

Just finished editing a new video of my new VTOL, the UHC-2/a 'Pelican'. It\'s about the best thing I ever made.

Wow, just amazing...

Did you control it on a keyboard or a joystick? Anyway, it\'s awsome

Joystick, I dunno how it flies with keyboard.

That thing looks fantastic. Any chance we can get the download?

This shows my VTOL design. I posted a video earlier showing the first version, since that video only showed the take off I redid the video using my new design which shows taking off and landing.

Everything here is part of the standard set of parts (mostly the RCS related parts) and this design works extremely well when piloted correctly. Unfortunately I\'m a terrible pilot and hence on landing I came down a bit too quick and lost a wing in the process but if you\'re a better pilot than me (you probably are) then you\'d be able to pilot this MUCH better than me.

There you go! Don\'t go wild on the throttle, or you will crash. Turn on ASAS, or you will crash.

Ok, that is pretty damn cool

[Kreuzung]

Someone to land

on

and make a vid? 8)

Edit: Of course, you also have to change to the carrier and fly that damn planestack around ;P

[the Crusader]

just use shit loads of rcs units and tanks

[LongHairedHuman]

No. Just no.

That would still be hard to fly, and cheaty. It can be done without RCS. I did use RCS, but only because of the lack of air-brakes in stock.

[Monkthespy]

Oh god hahaha, I just remembered, I have a .avi of me attaching A METRIC ASSTON of radial parachutes, making me go from 120 to 8 M/S in 2 seconds.

And on the VTOLs, I am going to embark on something, much different. A Mun VTOL, purposely built for atmospheric VTOL and Mun VTOL, problem is, a vehicul for getting it TO the Mun. I have a basic idea of what to do however.

I present the Choplifter Omega 5000 MkII. In classic KSP fashion, the MkI has a 30% survival rate. Now with 70% survival rate!

Flight vid: http://youtu.be/5e4j0fivBgQ?hd=1

The MkI was a giant single-shaft death machine, but the MkII is surprisingly flyable and stable after takeoff without RCS--except for turning. Not gonna lie, turning is dangerous.
