I made some (more) airplanes.

[Vanamonde]

These are things I made to test the new aircraft parts and stuff. I am not the best plane-maker in KSP, but I had fun with them, and maybe some of you will, too. 

First, there's the T-9 Lesson trainer. 
 
It's a tiny little jet that handles slowly but smoothly, and is fun to poke around with. 
 
 

This is the T-10 Dust Devil. 
 
It's even slower, but even more nimble than the T-9. Rolls kinda sluggishly, though. I don't understand why. But still fun to play with.

I made the I-2 Swift to be a quick-climbing interceptor, but it turned out to be pretty maneuverable as well. 
 
 
Goes from parked to airborne in 3 seconds, does 800m/s at wavetop altitude, reaches 20,000m in about 1:20. 
 

To try out the other new engine, I made a low-altitude, high-manueverability fighter in the F-17 Kestrel. 
 
It looks kinda funny, but is fun to hug the curves of the mountains west of KSC at high speed. 
 
Also, it can hover and even back-up slightly while the thrust reversers are engaged. In this pic, it is actually climbing. 
 
 

To look at the new engine animations, I made a plane inspired by the SR-71, though not an attempt at a replica. 
 
The SR-8 Shooting Star mostly just looks pretty and goes fast. 
 
 
Cruises at about 1300m/s at 20,000m. 

On the subject of going fast and looking pretty, this is also a non-replica imitator of the B-58: the B-5 Trespasser. 
 
It's made to go fast at low altitude, but is pretty fast higher up as well. It carries a couple of pretend-bombs, but to be honest, they don't work very well and tend to hit the bomb bay on their way out. Still, I like the way the plane looks.

 
 

I hope somebody enjoys them.

Those are some mighty fine-looking craft, Vanamonde.

Happy landings!

[wrcsubers]

Great looking stuff there my flying friend!  Planes in KSP are certainly one of the most difficult things to master, but also the most rewarding.

[Azimech]

Yep, you've got a few I like.

About the sluggish roll response, you can clip multiple ailerons inside of each other and they all work. If it feels like cheating: in real life we change the profile and deflection angle.

[gag09]

I like them a lot.

[IMaKIDfromPH]

They're good and from the looks of it they fly properly (which is an achievement greater than rocketry). Do you have any more planes to present? 

[Mikki]

Woah, flying trough the various obstacles is really difficult, I knew Vanamonde was secret plane expert!!! You know, Bananas...

Perhaps so, but I'm still mystified as to why it's happening in the first place.

A couple that aren't really ready to share yet, but thank you for encouraging me. I will share when/if I feel they're ready to be seen by other people. 

Thanks for the compliments, people.

Thanks for sharing Vanamonde. There are some lovely looking aircraft you have!

Try removing the two upswept ends on the top wing, see if that helps the roll. That or just add surfaces to the very edge of each wing. It could also be a center of mass/Lift issue. Hard to say without flying it.

Could not have said it better myself. As Majorjim said, its probably because your roll control is pivoting close to the center of mass of the plane rather than the farthest away from it

The wingtips were a late addition, and it had the slow-roll problem before that. In fact, I added those to make mounting space for additional ailerons.

[adsii1970]

@Vanamonde - love the aircraft; whenever I get the chance I love trying new ideas for aircraft. Some work, some...well, let's just say this - failure is always an option and there's always revert to hangar if the the explosion is really spectacular.

Ok good that's one possibility eliminated. now post a piccy of the col/com.

[katateochi]

nice designs man! really like the look of that B-5 Trespasser.  Might have to give that a go later.

[Vanamonde]

Due to (semi-)popular demand, here are a couple more planes I made. 

The T-11 Nieselregenvogel was intended to resemble the Me-262, 

but turned out to be just a silly little plane that cuts ridiculously tight circles. It's underpowered and comes close to stalling, which I find kind of a fun challenge to fly. 

The F-20 Cursorial 
 

was a happy accident. I was just playing with aircraft layouts and ended up with something that has a 2 second takeoff roll out, can do 850m/s at wavetop height but can also stay in the air at 43m/s, and is quite nimble. It's actually a bit squirrely a low speeds and fine maneuvers, but still turns well at high speeds. Action 1 toggles the afterburner.

It looks like the second pic is on 2 gears

Well, it's not.

That is Quito bad. The Bombay shouldn't get hit or the plane might Berne really badly. On the other hand, Wien it Bernes, the explosion would be really Nice. But there is a chance that the pilot would manage to Bali out of the plane. However, thousands of dollars would be wasted, so the pilot wouldn't want to Toky-obout it.

Yeeeeeaaaah, apply ice to Berne...

I am astonishingly bad at puns.

The city of Bombay is not as similar to a bomb bay as imagined...
