No nosecone, 2 intakes on sides, two canards, and one thruster. Make it fly!

Jeb tried it in a smaller craft, too.  This one was a lot easier to fly.

Awesome!

So, I made a simplistic plane with a view.

It lands upside down, just because it can. It's rather stable without SAS, does mach 0.96 at sea level. I got it to 650 m/s in a dive from 20 KM up and did not crash into the ocean. Steering is very slow but easy. Unfortunately, it cannot take off on its wheels, so I could not get it back to the KSP base.

OP, you used mark 2 parts which are lifting surfaces

they are?

Here's my go - I too went for a simple, small design. Although I suspect this bends the rules a little :S

(Chute was repacked at the island runway)

Yup.  Not a whole *lot* of lift, but they do add a bit.

Tadaa, at first I wanted to put a parachute as a nosecone, but then I remembered the thrust reverser!
a little bit scary when landing this thing, with a high angle of attack and no clear view of the runway from the cockpit!

@GGKSPMC Which canards? If I remember right there are two kinds

The cacaw.

Well, I decided to go ahead and take a swing at this in (I hope) the spirit of the challenge.  This little plane gains lift only from a pair of canards, as specified, and has only a single engine, although it lacks the intakes specified because said engine, while only useful in-atmosphere, isn't air-breathing in the sense that would require them.

Its range is, effectively, almost unlimited in terms of flying around Kerbin, but it's not exactly the fastest of planes.  Still, Jeb seemed to have a lot of fun flying around in it.

Great job!  Slap on dat badge- you deserve it!
