Logan.Darklighter Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 (edited) Thunderbirds are Go! I created a version of TB-1 from the classic Gerry Anderson series. Looks great in flight, but there were some problems. The arrangement of the rear engines and fins had me stumped for a long time in regards to landing gear. She could launch and land on her tail just fine. But TB-1 in the series is supposed to be able to fly and land horizontally as well, in addition to being a VTOL. Well with a little help from Infernal Robotics, I figured out a way to telescope the gear down far enough to work properly! Next was figuring out a way to get Kerbals from the ship down to the ground and back up again. The telescoping landing gear became another problem to overcome, since no ladders would reach far enough! But either I'm a genius or I was channeling the ghost of Gerry Anderson. Because I came up with a solution to the ingress/egress problem that's practical, works, and yet has just the right amount of "Rube Goldberg" that you'd expect from Thunderbirds. I'm so proud! The album below shows the methods I used. Also shows a vertical take-off. TB-1 is a proper SSTO and with the right ascent profile can reach orbit with nearly half a tank of fuel remaining. The only thing she can't do yet is horizontal VTOL. But I'm working on it! Javascript is disabled.

Look at those Ion engines.She has 140,000L of Xenon gas - enough to float a city XDBut she can go anywhere in the Kerbin system, from anywhere.

Megalodon 720 Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 'Callidus' class Battleship, 170 tons of steel, fuel, engines and missiles that can gut any ship it comes across. This ship's missiles can tear armour off with ease. Not only that, but it's under 450 parts! (It's the one on the right BTW)Your move Zekes.
