HiMAT Replica


Recommended Posts

This, is the Rockwell RPRV-870 HiMAT. Or rather, my version of it. This plane was designed to test lots of at the time new ideas, such as closely grouped canards and digital fight control (for more info, see here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rockwell_HiMAT )

It looks, IMO, pretty close to the real thing. However, there are two small problems, the first is the nose (but I wanted to keep this stock, and can't think how to get it any better-any comments welcome on that) and the engine, which is similar to both ksp stock jets but at the same time, noticeably different. I know B9 has a perfect engine for the job, but again, stock.

In terms of performance, despite the awe inspiring manoeuvrability of the real thing, in stock ksp it's responsive but slow to turn, and care should be taken on landing to avoid breaking engines.

And for anyone who wants to test it:

(also, feel free to use it in any kerbal based stuff you like (YouTube vids, ect) but post the link, I wanna make sure you treat her right. Or the boom when you don't, your call)

(Extra note-if anyone wants to see if FAR lets it fly more like the real thing, lemme know how it turns out-thanks!)

For KSP 1.04, fully stock
