Virgin Spaceplane-inspired project.


Recommended Posts

So, this started its life as a fighter, but I decided I wanted more range out of it, so I converted it into something space-worthy.

It\'s very similar to the virgin airlines project in that it\'ll only orbit the planet once (in its current state)

Instructions: Turn on SAS, Start the main stage, climb to 9000. It does need more than the runway available to take off, but you won\'t hit the water so long as you keep holding up. Climb up to about 9km, and from pitched up flight, press space to release the plane. Use most of your fuel to accelerate, but save the last little bit for landing.

Landing: I ended up landing on water, and the crew survived (but the ship didn\'t). Keep pitching up during landing, and before you hit the water, use the last trickles of fuel to go as much horizontal as you can. Cut the power, and you\'ll skip across the water to a stop.

Enjoy, please share your thoughts for my future designs.
