[Request] Super Sized Carrier Aircraft For Lifting My Space Shuttle


Recommended Posts

I'm developing a new large space shuttle and would like to perform some realistic ALT tests with it. In the past I've fashioned my own aircraft to ferry them, but I would like a vehicle that's better design to haul a large orbiter, but also because it's the largest I've built thus far. So I require help in getting it to perform flight tests before I can continue and mount it it's external tank and or whatever else I may have planned for it. This vehicle being an entirely unpowered glider, hence why I need a carrier aircraft. It has two Puff engines providing approximately 400m/s, however they are meant solely for orbital space flight.

As such I need a 747 like the one that hauled the space shuttle after missions to different locations after missions when it was required.

Stats are shown below:

  • Mass: 28.978t
  • Height: 10.1m
  • Width: 17.4m
  • Length: 23.8m
  • Part Count: 86

Thanks for the help :) .

Do you need it to be super detailed? Or only vaguely 747 ish? But I can probably make something if you need.

 

Lower part count would be nice. Just something that can lift it off the runway and carry it say 50km from the runway would be nice.

Ok here you go - https://kerbalx.com/qzgy/HLV-Alt-Test

as the same number of parts as your shuttle. You can reduce the part count by removing the back extra vertical stabilizer. Also, it will be generally kinda sluggish or stable. That's either good or bad depending on use case.
