[STOCK 0.16] Simple High Performance Aircraft

[elmeerkat]

Here's a new craft i made. There are three versions: Mechjeb (for the decouplers as well as a mechjeb pod which isn't really needed), Stock, and Mechjeb + JellyCube Weapons

Here's the full album because KSP forums would only allow me to post 5 images.

Besides being stable and having a good turning radius and roll rate it also can take off in a very short distance and has an escape pod with parachutes.

The biggest difference between the Mechjeb version and the Stock version is that the back engines don't decouple in the stock version. this means that the body of the aircraft will continue to fly even after you have ejected in the stock one, while the mechjeb one will fall fairly fast.

a picture of the weaponized version is included in the album as well. it includes 8 missiles and two railguns.

thanks for checking this out!

That looks awesome!

You can upload to mediafire or a similar site, then post the link.

This is like mini version of one of my recent bombers. Clearly it must be a good design if many random people all think of it.
