[STOCK] The Albatross: Large Delta Wing Spaceplane

[a1lazydog]

The albatross is the largest spaceplane I dared to make. I created and iterated several times so far:

Albatross I: can take off with minimum wingspan

Albatross II: increased wingspan. Single ocean flight succeeded. Landing was not.

Albatross III: better engine configuration

Albatross IV: full delta wingspan. Transcontinental flight across two oceans tested and succeeded. Landing mildly successful

Albatross V: converted airplane to spaceplane. Can make it to the Mun

Albatross VI: capable of landing on the Mun... backwards... barely.

Albatross VII: more balanced RCS thrusters.

Attached is the Mk IV, V, VI, VII. It\'s a little slow on the rise, but it\'s quite stable.

adding the mk vii. sadly I found out that after landing on the mun, there\'s not enough fuel to get back.
