Tiltjet S/VTOL SSTO

[dervd123]

I've been playing around with Tiltjets (and tiltrockets?) with Infernal Robotics for a couple of days.

Flies like a dream if you leave the back MK3 to 2.5m adapter empty of fuel. It should be able to VTOL on any airless body, but on kerbin Short takeoff is a better bet for the fuel margin once you make orbit.

I'm also working on a exploration loadout with a tiny karbonite drill on a rope, 4 Cryopods from deepfreeze, and 6 jumbo 64s of Orbital Fuel.

I really like this one. I've been fiddling with VTOLs for about a week now and it's nice to see one make it in to this advanced state. Good stuff man!
