Mission ready SSTO spaceplane

[hebdomad]

Developed for the K - Prize, the Jetmaster Aether was designed from the ground up to be ultra stable, safe, reliable and low cost single stage to orbit space plane solution.

Although it did not win any major prizes, it still stands as a great platform for new pilots to get their feet wet into orbit...

It\'s also a great example to base your own designs if your stuck making your own space planes.

The Jetmaster Aether includes advanced safety features such as cockpit ejection with advanced dual parachute para-glide landing system as standard.

Other features include advanced SAS for hands free flying, and parachutes for landing for short unprepared runways (mid air flight reprogramming required).

Yay! first download.

looks good.

(hey since i posted being only 1 minute and 22 seconds since you posted, do i get a custom order? )

[hebdomad]

Depends what your mission is...

Right now I can throw in free leather seats, premium sound system, and keyless entry...

It\'s that or I throw in a free low altitude jet fighter...

[sss]

if the fighter can be equiped with jellycubes missles, ill take it 8)

You\'ll have to fit those missiles yourself.

There is plenty of room on the wings to do that.

Here is the jet...

That\'s pretty awesome. Did you take inspiration from DamnYouJapan\'s mobile launch spaceplane? They look similar.

It was actually reversed engineered from silent_prtoagonist\'s 'Daedalus' and a few other space planes on the forums.

The low wing design, fuel management, wheel placement, and control surfaces where not to my liking so I Improved them to be more newbie friendly.

The Daedalus also lacked safety features so I added my custom ejection system.

I took a stab at duplicating this design, but the torodial spike keeps falling off. Did you experience any issues like that? Have any hints or tips?

The ship was destroyed re-entering the atmosphere

The spike engine is always a pain... Putting engines on in the SPH is a pain.

Remove the wings, turn off symmetry, click lots! ... remember to put the wings back on.

Keep your nose up about 20 degrees, keep ASAS on till you enter a thicker part of the atmosphere. Make sure you still have some jet fuel and apply a small amount of thrust to give yourself some forward momentum.

If you lose control and go into a spin, don\'t panic. Activate ASAS, apply some throttle, wait till you straighten out, pull up slowly... or eject and glide back to Kerbin.
