Woot, my first successful large aircraft :D

[iCharles]

I finally made a large aircraft that flies long distances.

its about 6 MK3 fuel tanks long, has 6 basic jet engines (for takeoff/landing) and 8 turbojets for cruising at 12,000 metres at a speed of 600 m/s

will post pics soon.

Note it's maximum altitude is 16,000 meters and the fastest I have seen it flying level was 800 m/s at 15,000 meters

That's about 1600 knots or roughly 1800 MPH!

Very nice iCharles

This really should be in the Spacecraft Exchange though, so I'll move it for you, plus a lot of people will want your .craft file as well.

Oh and now you are a bottle rocketrer, you can edit your posts instead of double posting

(I recommend you practice editing your post by changing the thumbnail pics to the much larger ones you took, so we can see them better, don't forget spoiler tags )

Very well done ICharles

Looks awesome, is it difficult to land?

Looks really cool, good job!

Looks awesome, is it difficult to land?

Very much so. I have umpteen parachutes attached. But I am going to add more fuel tanks and a lot more landing gear, that aren't jettisoned after takeoff.
