UFO Prototype V1.1

[Clockwork13]

I just finished the first prototype of a UFO I'm working on. It can turn in any direction, is stock, is very stable (virtually no risk of flipping or getting out of control unless in atmosphere), and cheap. This one costed me around 70,000 271,000 funds, but the UFO can only fly for about 15 seconds in Kerbin's atmosphere unless infinite fuel is used.

I have quickly made a UFO v1.1, this version has some better heat resistance, 100% stock, improved action groups, and now the horizontal boosters are actually effective, as I've replaced them with mainsails, which I should have just done to begin with.

So, basically a VTOL? Cool

VTOL refers to the method of takeoff, Vertical TakeOff and Landing

I know that, although i still wouldn't consider it a VTOL since it looks and flies differently.

Does it take off vertically?: Yes.

Does it land vertically?: Yes.

So it's a VTOL.

(technically almost all traditional landers are vtols)

Ok, whatever, it's a VTOL.

No need to be so defensive .-.

This is not an UFO.

U stands for Unidentified. This aircraft is pretty documented.

/sarcasm off

nice idea and good job with aircraft! I imagine flying it without infinite fuel is not possible, sadly?

Flying it without infinite fuel is possible, but it can only fly for about 10-20 seconds. I did however build a smaller ion power UFO yesterday that can last for around 5 minutes before running out of ElectricCharge.
