Have you ever had a need to transport 26 Kerbals from one continent to another all at once? No?

Well, neither have I. But just in case Jeb decides he wants to celebrate his birthday at KSC2, you can now take the whole Kerbal gang along for the ride!

Introducing the Kerdonnell-Douglas KD-80 series, the latest in T-tail, rear-fuselage mounted engine goodness from Kerdonnell-Douglas!

This craft flies quite well, has easy intercontinental capability and a max cruising altitude of 9500m (about 40,000 ft if you convert the scale height to Earth numbers, quite respectable). In addition to the pilot and co-pilot, you can have 24 passengers in this first-class-only configuration, each kerbal having nearly more than an entire seat's worth of extra legroom and tons of head and shoulder space. Even your fattest scientists will enjoy flying in this paradise.

Flying this bird is easy; set flaps 30 (press 1) and throttle up. Fully loaded, V1 is at 58 m/s. V2 is untested but estimated at 75 m/s. V3 is 70 m/s, so lift your flaps and take off into the wild blue yonder.

Stalls are very gradual and the nose drops naturally, recovering the stall. It's hard to crash this aircraft!

See your local Kerdonnell-Douglas dealer today! Starting at only 51,091 fully fueled and ready for takeoff, these planes are a steal! (please do not steal our planes)

What did you use to make those pics (derp:P)

I used Photoshop CC for those ones. I basically cut out the plane from three different screenies and composed it all together for that second one. They actually took me a while to put together. :)

Happy Flying

I converted a B-52 into a shuttle carrier. An airliner for a select few I guess... Not really a commercial airliner xD

That's awesome...

try making that weird russian SCA, not the an-225, it had twin tails and rly low wings, sometimes it had a big bubble on top for holding things, i think it was a turboprop. Here, have a pic. It's called the Myasischev VM-T Atlant/Bison
