QF9E Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 Don't have time right now, but I will try to build the Edgley Optica: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sivako Aerospace Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 (edited) I decided to build a lesser known jet fighter from the 1950's, the Vought F7U Cutlass. The aircraft has space for one pilot and uses the stock (and maybe some DLC) parts. The image above is a previous version. Spoiler These are the images of the current version. Apparently, there was a comet flying by during this flight. Edit: I also made a version with firework rocket pods.

Apparently they can, I accidentally blew up the research and development facility during some testing.

I added some whiplash engines, but i'm still working on making it transition from vertical to horizontal. It's too unreliable, nevermind.

Use jet engines while in the atmosphere, you can use liquif fuel engines when u escape the atmosphere Spoiler ps: your Bring Back The Megathread poster is looking great, can i pot it in my signature as well cuz it has my name on it? 9 hours ago, Admiral Fluffy said: This for Real Planes? doesnt have to be. you can get creative and design ur own Edited July 9, 2021 by Max von Kerman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As in, you didn't actually post a challenge - as defined for this forum. Note: In particular: Quote How do we win this anyway? Every challenge needs a way to win it or to judge if someone is the best, usually this is the shortest time to complete the challenge or the least components used, or even the lowest mass or least fuel consumed. So make sure you decide in advance how players of your challenge will be scored, it saves confusion later on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll start us off with the plane that helped me get Thread of the Month for January 2020, Bill's Car. Below are pictures of it in action. Spoiler Plane in the SPH Dangerously hot cruising speed and altitude as it's circumnavigating Kerbin Hey, Grarey, what are you doing in Bill's jet? Less than 75 km away from the KSC, and on final approach Perfect landing Flying time: 53 minutes and 18 seconds In case you're curious, here's the award-winning thread that the plane made its debut in. The challenge is over now, but feel free to ask me on DM if you want to restart it. If you want to see any more planes, feel free to check out my KerbalX page.
