[0.16] Some planes and stuff {DART-L, HAR-P & Shuriken A-50}

[Joshman1306]

Hey guys,

I was looking around the forums and decided to give \'posting my creations\' a try.

Some are just meant for playing around but some do have specific purposes in mind. Screenshots can be found in the attachments since I don\'t know how to add them into the text.

DART -L

Direct-Action-Required-To Land (jk, it\'s actually -lift, as in \'it requires you to point the nose towards the ground\')

Pretty wide wingspan and only 1 engine. Plenty of fuel for long flights.

Not the most efficient plane but it does have a lot of lift (takes off at around 70m/s)

Surprisingly maneuverable.

Note: It is almost perfectly balanced upon take-off but as the front tanks empty it will start tilting up (around 5 mins into flight). A way to fix this is to disable fuel flow from the front tanks until the rear ones are drained.

HAR-P

High-Altitude-Reconnaissance Plane

Pretty much just aim up at about 70 degrees until you get to around 8000m then activate the high altitude engine.

Cruising : 15000m @ 380m/s

Sorry it\'s not more stable but it does a pretty good job of remaining airborne for a long time.

Shuriken A-50

Basically, it flies really well, looks awesome and lands like a butterfly

What are they capable of? Low kerbal orbit, mun flights ect?

I\'m looking at a plane capable of taking me to the mun

Since they don\'t have any rockets or RCS, I doubt that they could make it out of the atmosphere. They were mostly intended for low-mid altitude flying. Feel free to modify them if you want them to be able to go to the Mun.
