The Hyperjet Delivery SSTO (I finally did it!)

OK so what's so great about this SSTO Spaceplane?

1. It handles well. REALLY well. You can't mess up with this. It can climb vertically, I was climbing at a 30 degree angle and broke the sound barrier at 4km degrees. I held the 30 degree angle all the way up to ~25km where the closed cycle took over.

2. It takes descent really well. I put the periapsis at 48km and it never even came close to burning up. Putting the engine coolers on the RAM intakes made sure they never burnt up because all the heat was being transfered into many other things.

3. It glides well, I put it at 10 degrees descent without engines and it still was able to pick up speed, the landing was very easy.

4. It's super efficient. It costs 66 448 funds to send away, I get 64 779 when I recover it dry. That's a pricetag of 1669 to send a 3.8ton payload into LKO, when I recovered it it had about 200:160 LF:O left so the payload could've been bigger.

5. Most importantly it looks super .... Just look at that thing, if I may say so myself.

To recap, easy to fly, easy to send into space, easy to get back from space, easy to land, looks badass while it's doing it and it's efficient at doing it. This is the first time I really feel like I did a good SSTO plane, the previous ones have been hard to make work, this thing is easy to fly with.

Could we have a craft file with that? Looks nice, and I really need a well working cargo SSTO!

It comes with a default payload (FL-T400, FL-R25 RCS, and some other stuff). It requires some high level stuff in the tech tree but you might get away with swapping out the Rapiers with Swivels, though it would be nearly as efficient I think.
