Addiction Aerospace - SSTO Repository (And other junk) New Craft: Feb 6th!

[SpaceplaneAddict]

New craft!

 

The Alouette, my competitor to @Rune's White Dart!

Space station not included  Designed to have the same functionality of the White Dart, it is just as modular, and (probably) as dragless. Power comes from the Whiplash jet, and the dual Thuds, radially mounted, then offset.
Flight Instructions:
Pitch acording to thrust.

Get yours today for about 2 WHOLE FUNDS! WHOOOO!

You do know that Alouette is lark in French, yes?

Edited February 6, 2016 by Sanic

[SpaceplaneAddict]

Yes.  It's meant to be the french bird named Alouette though.

Update on the cargo prototype:

 

Who knew you needed more lift on bigger planes?

[RA3236]

BTW, the SSTDuna and back plane has the mumech AR202 part from MechJeb. Can you please remove it?

[SpaceplaneAddict]

All of them do  A fix will be coming on the weekend. In the mean time, I suggest you cut it directly out of the .craft file. I promise, I'll get to it, all of them.

If I cut it out of the craft file the game keeps thinking there is a link between it.

Check near the top of the file, in the "parent parts" or something's. Delete anything that says MechJeb

I'm really fascinated by these things that you've made! The only thing I could accomplish is four tanks with a rapier strapped onto a drone core. Keep this up!

Mm? Oh, you mean my this stuff? Ah, gee, thanks! I hope I can be of help!

Build an air-launched orbital hypersonic boost-glide vehicle like the X-15A2. It should be capable of a  Munar landing w/ kerbin return. Must be launched from a drone aircraft, and either attached to a wing, or in a cargo bay, the latter being preferable. PLEASE make it land on skids from Kerbal Foundries!

Addiction Aerospace works on stock parts, sorry. I'll try with the girders tho.... consider the request taken!

[OrbitalBuzzsaw]

Wheels would be fine if you can't

[OrbitalBuzzsaw]

I just think "hypersonic boost-glide lunar return vehicle" sounds cool. Also, no nukes please

Seems fair, I was planning on using the Aerospike, with it having decent TWR and the third highest Vac-ISP *For a chemical LF/O engine.

Sounds good. Call it the XSP-6 'Sunstreak'

Here's the craft (name): Addiction Aerospace - XSP-6 Sunstreak

Sound good? (Addiction Aerospace is added only because it's going on my repository.

[OrbitalBuzzsaw]

XSP-6 is just to agree with naming scheme in my save file.

[OrbitalBuzzsaw]

Progress on the XSP-6 design?

[SpaceplaneAddict]

It's going fine, I'll be running..... distance...... tests, hopefully it'll be fully ready by next week (maximum)
As to the name, you can always rename it

and also, my I make the launch aircraft, erm...... rocket powered?

[OrbitalBuzzsaw]

No. Jets only. Could you send me a screenshot in PM?

That would be a space shuttle kinda

You could call it that, but here's what I have in mind.

The main munar craft would be on the front, attached to the rocket aircraft via decoupler. The "rocket" is a rocket, with wings and landing gear. It has a probe core, so it's recoverable. And yea. I'll show ya soon....

Oh, ok. I'll see what I can do.....

And it would've only gone hypersonic........ BTW, I can't make an aircraft that can propell the orbiter to high enough speeds so it can go to the Mun. I'll make it RAPIER powered, how's that?

Sure but don't go above 40KM with the launcher

[OrbitalBuzzsaw]

Progress with the testings?
