[KBC News 24] Polar Return Flight Survives In-Air Breakup

Recommended Posts

Flight path was intended as KSC to North Pole to KSC, until Veto Aerospace was informed that the previous polar missions [including two whose aircraft had been wrecked] had already been evacuated and snowed over. The aircraft, Polar Conveyor, proceeded to divert to KSC-2. Landing was successful. The pilot decided to return to KSC, and took off - during takeoff procedure, a major component of the fuselage broke away.

Nice job on the landing half a plane. Also a pretty neat looking aircraft.

Don't suppose you'd be willing to share where that KSC 2 is? I've wanted to travel there for a long time, but I've never been able to find it.

Actually, on second thought it seems the location has become more available online since my last search, so I know what I am doing today. Just need to strap some drop tanks onto my plane.

I find myself wondering when it would have arrived at the pole. If it took one hour to go from KSC to the edge of the icesheet to KSC2, it must have gone from place to place pretty quick.

I saw nothing above 400 m/s outside of steep falls from altitude.
