K380 Scarebus

[Redshift OTF]

So...yeah. I couldn't get the nose quite right for this to be classed as an actual A380 replica but it's fairly close. This was more of an exercise in building techniques than anything else. And I just wanted to make a massive plane.

451 parts. 381.7 tons. 32 engines. Seats 544+4 Kerbals. Top speed about 120 m/s. Flies like a brick. But it does fly! The wings are rock solid, so I learnt something from this build.

Take off speed is about 75 m/s. Landing, well, I'm not going to lie, it's a challenge, but it is do-able. Throttle down to half, deploy air-brakes, reduce speed to 75 m/s and try not exceed a vertical speed of 5 m/s when you touch down. Hotkey 1 applies flaps if you need them. Hotkey 2 is for the cabin lights.

So if you want to just fly a massive plane or you have some new thermal paste you need to burn in then have a go at this.

Cool plane! Huge behemoth as well, wonder if my processor would melt.

Wow this craft is really huge! It's hard to believe that it would have lifted off the ground, sorry can't rep you at the moment (#^$%*&@)!! ahhh!

How many victims does it carry?

It kinda looks like an Airbus Double Bubble when you see it from the top
