VTOL (F14-inspired) (With video!)

[theIlyane]

Hello kerbanauts!

So, the forum dissappeared on us for a little while, and I would like to repost my aeroplane VTOL.

Here's the craft file: VTOL Aeroplane.

Keybindings are being used, keys 1 and 2 activate the horizontal or vertical engines.

Keep your nose down during take off, and throttle to 75% during take off, nothing more.

Have fun! See my video for a demonstration and like/sub if you want to see more.

Pretty vtol you have, can it go orbit? (SSTO).

No not this particular design, but I'm working on a SSTO version - probably with nuclear engines.

Glad you like it!

I need to made mine too. I do not have an SSTO VTOL yet in my garage, rsrsrsrsrs

[Zanis]

This Looks Amazing!

You should give it a name maybe something like Verton Mk1:D

[ReconXPanzer]

Looks amazing

Much more stable than my VTOL designs and handles well too in comparison - I subbed and liked

Best V-Tol I've ever seen!

Thank you all, glad you like it. I'm working on a newer version that'll be useful once deployed on Duna, and I plan on try and taking it to Laythe.

Uploading another video with the latest version right now, stay tuned for more.

Also check out the other video's on my channel.

Fear no more! I am working on a VTOL SSTO right now! You can check my Raven. BTW I saw your plane before the '013 event, it is pretty cool.

you may not have a good time with the nuclear engine at sea level due to the isp being around 240, so if you do use them, do it for transfer stages( if it is designed to go to the planets

Thanks for the tip! I'll have to find a way to make an efficient design that'll get into space.
