55 minutes in the worst plane ever

[256]

So, in my no-revert career, I found myself in the position of having just four thousand kerbucks left a full slate of contracts. The only contract I could hope to complete was the one to investigate the crashed vessel in the arctic (from Anomaly Surveyor) and so I built a tiny plane to take me to the north pole. But, I made a couple of design errors, and the plane could barely stay aloft. Knowing that I couldn't afford to abort the mission, I toughed it out, and this is the result.

Piffle. I have made much worse planes than this. 

[Dr. Kerbal]

Me too. I've made planes that dont lift the ground. They usually just roll.  or crash into a building (sometimes I can destroy the entire KSC with this).

The worst plane? I believe you have never heard of me somehow managing to fly a Formula 1 style car to 2,320 meters, nor has anyone as this happened literally moments ago.

my current laythe plane, which i failed to test before using, basically can't take off. it reaches 40 m/s on the ground, and it can barely turn up in the air. but it loses speed in doing so, and it cannot sustain flight at less than 60 m/s. basically, i can take long jumps, but to actually fly i must launch from the top of a mountain.

it also doesn't have enough energy to sustain its science experiments.
