Gentlemen BEHOLD

I bring you the Radially attached jetengine, inspired by the B-52s dual engine pod setup.

Since C7studios is the current leading manufacturer of spaceplane parts the engines have been carefully tuned to match the performance of the C7 packs C7AX-301 engine. They can be applied directly to fuselage or mounted under wings (or on top if you are a silly).

Textures are terribad, therefore the texture map thing included. A less sucky texture would be greatly appreciated, keep in mind that the UV-map might be as bad as the texture.

Radially attached jetengine revisions:

1.3 - Thrust vector updated

1.2 - Reduced fuelcomsumption to match thrust reduction.

1.1 - Reduced thrust and heatproduction, 20% reduction in thrust and heatproduction.

1.0 - Release.

Heloskids, not much more to say.]

These can be all kinds of just silly. They overheat very easily when you cluster them around a fuel tank and make for some very kerbal flight characteristics.

[TimothyC]

Very nice as wingtip engines. They are letting me stick the engines further up on the fuselage which improved stability. I did turn down the heat production, but that\'s a minor thing.

[DYJ]

They overheat just as easily as a bunch of C7 engines mounted close together would, but if it\'s in the public\'s interest I\'ll release a slightly safer variant after dinner.

[Herpderpsslerps]

I made a ship, had to use eight radiators to make it not go boom the second you full throttled but they got if off the ground.

[C7Studios]

Nice. I\'ve been meaning to get to doing some engines like this. The only reason I have the heat so high on those engines is because they weren\'t meant to be stuck too close together. I wanted a sort of 'afterburner' style overheating scheme. Where if you jammed the thrust too high it would overheat. A lot of jets have an overthrust or afterburning capability. They just can\'t use it much due to stress and heat on the engines.

Now I\'m going to have to make some new engines... hehe.

[DYJ]

Released Heloskids.

[feanor]

Could you please upload the files somewhere on mediafire or the like? firefox doesn\'t like the forum software..

[DYJ]

Im at 10km altitude atm (on a plane ), but I can reupload everything when i get back home

[Technical Ben]

The skids are a good idea! Nice!

[DYJ]

Cargo(and accidental engine) separation.

Yet to be named (or finished) heavy-shuttle project of mine. Name suggestions are welcome.

[cardgame]

What am I supposed to do with the jetengine map?

[DYJ]

Make new textures if you want, If not you just leave it and move only the part folders.

[cardgame]

I just threw it into the original part folder. Which may or may not have something to do with the fact that these engines only fire backwards for me, regardless of which part I use or where and how I place it, effectively crashing my plane on the launch pad.

[DYJ]

They do indeed fire backwards, will update the OP in minute.

OP updated, also:

Video of an early version of the shuttle deploying some NovaPunch satellites, wings are from C7 and are placeholders at the moment.

[Jesus KerBeard]

Interesting shuttle design, I like the way it deploys the satellites.

Anyway, I came here to say thanks for the Heloskids, they\'ve made my rover practically indestructible.

[DYJ]

The thing in the video was just the technology demonstrator, here is a work in progress pic of the final thing :

And yes, it will still be able to deploy cargo through its rear end.

Lookin good. What sort of colour scheme are you going for?

[DYJ]

I haven\'t thought about it, it\'s still a long way away from being ready for textures. And I\'m terrible at making textures so if someone with some 2d skills is interested I\'d love to have some help with the texturing when it comes to that.

[Spoot Knight]

It\'s too awesome-looking to be a cargo ship.

[DYJ]

Done some cutting:

I\'ll clean it up and start with UV maps tomorrow.

Next picture of the shuttle will hopefully be from KSP.

[C7Studios]

Looking very nice.

[CardBoardBoxProcessor]

i am a fan of this

[Misterspork]

Looking awesome. Might be very useful. Will I be able to attach the thing that deploys cargo to any plane?
