OrbitusII Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 (edited) Lodvey performed a test flight of the V2X-3 and V2X-4 today. Those prototypes were basically modified Vortex 1s, but neither could get to orbit. Got a nice picture though.Next up is the V2X-5, a plane designed from scratch with stats similar to the Aeris 4A (in theory). Dudfield Kerman will be flying this prototype since Gusmin and Lodvey have finished their two test flights for now.Edit: Dudfield and the V2X-5 took off just before dawn, successfully achieving orbit about 17 minutes into the flight.Javascript is disabled. View full albumI went fullscreen for this mission so now I have a bunch of potential wallpapers. The V2X-5 successfully achieved orbit with around 32.8% of its takeoff LFO remaining, so it's going to be able to do a fair amount of orbital maneuvers if it gets selected for active service. The boys back home are slightly concerned about the stability of the rear landing gear, but they are much more secure than those on the Vortex 1 even though they aren't presently strutted.

OrbitusII Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 (edited) http://i.imgur.com/3qitAeI.jpgThis seems like a really bad omen considering my post just above yours... I'm gonna hold off on landing the V2X-5 for a little while. Edit: my fears were well-founded:Lodvey Kerman performed some landing tests with the sibling of the V2X-5 currently in orbit and is now hospitalized. Dudfield will not be returning home in the V2X-5 that he took into orbit but will remain there until an updated version with improved landing stability can be sent up to rescue him.

Cydonian Monk Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 (edited) Jorble Kerman may not have been one of the lucky two kerbals of the Archimedes 3 to land on the Mün, but you'd never be able to tell from looking.

OrbitusII Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 Did some exploring because I was bored (actually testing a plugin that should help reduce spinning out while launching multi-jet SSTOs).Turns out the Vortex 1 can achieve an AP of 50+ km and speeds of 2000+ m/s, not that it matters since the V2X-5 will be the version used in the end.
