Landing on water with a space plane

[kacperrutka26]

Hello everyone!

Today I just want to post some screenshots of me landing on water with my space plane (It\'s rubbish, I suck at making space planes)

It\'s easy if you go sidewards and down at the same time, and slow down to at most 50 m/s. I only lost an engine and that\'s it, it was actually a mission fail because it started to spin around crazily but luckily I set it up so it can land safely. And at least the kerbals are safe...

Wow, I didn\'t know you could do that ;D

I didn\'t know either, I just tried all I could to save them

you know what jeb says 8) 'a landing is just a controlled crash'

I\'ve done that once. An atmospheric 'AWAC' style plane, for munolith hunting North of KSC. Ran out of fuel when making a long, eastward turn, had to ditch it into the ocean. Came in as slow and as shallow of an angle as I could. Flared it right before hitting, and, lost a few components (including wings), but everyone made it out alive, and the thing floated.

Jet fuel and empty tanks are buoyant!

And lander legs bounce on water for some reason.
