Oliverm001x's Pinnacle of Construction- Featuring All Vehicles

[Oliverm001x]

Hello admirers of technology and Welcome! To the majestic world of:

Oliverm001x's Pinnacle of Construction

 

The first question: What is this?

From the discovery of combustion, the invention of the wheel, the iconic moon landing with the impeccable Apollo 11 landing module, to the planned manned missions to Mars by 2024, our human civilisation has progressed at a monumentally rapid rate. Engineering pinnacles have cast a conspicuous shadow onto the people doubting the ability of modern day man, and his ability to progress within the realm of engineering. On this Spacecraft Exchange we will display some of the pinnacles of engineering, all constructed in the majestic and fun, world of KSP. Here (regular uploading not guaranteed) vehicles of all sorts will be uploaded and described, with a background, statistics, and plain scientific fun! Hope you enjoy!

After years of development, R&D, and excruciating head scratching, the impeccable and notorious engineers at the KSC have unveiled the initial aircraft! The k340-100. While the craft was not christened with an original name (primarily due to it basically being named after the a340 except with a K instead of the A, come to think of it everything in KSP is), the design varies from the recognised a340 concept. Below are some pictures to incite your senses (for the better) and to give you an overview of the aircraft.

An exterior view of the aircraft:

 

The joy filled pilots on this inaugural flight! Jaris and Gemzy will be remembered for EVER!

 

 

Another exterior view, which was taken whilst attempting a ditch in the choppy waters of the "Korean-Like" coast:

 

How did the ditch go? You may ask!

 

A Success!

 

Sort of...

 

But at any rate, below are some more images depicting this pinnacle of construction:

 

 

So the aircraft:

The Aircraft was engineered during a four year span, when Kerbin entered a state of financial prosperity. The only aircraft at the time was a simple "stock" aircraft that was given to them for free by the Squad "masters" as they were referred to. In layman's terms there was a distinctive problem, lot of tourists but no aircraft to accommodate them. So Jeb and co got to work and the K340-100 was born. Jeb and co clearly ignored the request by their superior officials, "please start on a small scale", As the aircraft has the following statistics:

 

     

The aircraft is comprised of 4 Goliath Engines, each tweak-scaled to 200% of their initial size. The aircraft is constructed utilizing the "Stock Extension Revived" mods, which enable the engineers to use business and economy cabin modules. To be exact on this aircraft, there are 2 Business Modules for the richest of the rich, and 4 Economy modules, named "scum class", by the Kerbal Airways. Long story short, after legal proceedings and lawsuits, it was renamed to economy class. This enables a high capacity, whilst maintaining an optimal aircraft length (49.8 meters) relative to the wingspan(51.1 meters). To improve the pitch and the overall maneuverability of the K340, canards were implemented at the front, resulting in immense lift! It gives Jeb nightmares. Nevertheless, pilots love to fly this aircraft as it is strangely maneuverable relative to its size. The aircraft also has sufficient range, as I flew it for long distances around Kerbin, with the fuel tank containing 31,909 kg of liquid fuel.

While the aircraft is not perfect, it is certainly a perfect first attempt for the bright minds at the KSC! And it is fully ditch-able :D, warranting it a place on the ultimate proving grounds of the Pinnacles Of Construction.

The K325-

The K325

The K325 was constructed following an executive order placed by the heads of the KCS. A long-ranged fully business standard aircraft capable of long-ranged flight, whilst maintaining ample fuel efficiency and thrust. After exactly 35 minutes of excruciatingly intensive thought, Jeb mapped out his ideas. Below is what he came up with:

Good craft but the canards look a bit odd

One simple slogan: MORE LIFT!!!

For the K340, are you sure only having 6290m/s of Dv is enough to circumnavigate Kerbin? It doesn't seem possible with that little

This aircraft was not constructed with that intention, it is a intercontinental aircraft.
