The Double Ring Fighter Plane (circular plane)

[Calin]

So I got the game about a week ago and managed to make some pretty crazy stuff. I just love building weird looking things .

Anyways, this is the Double Ring Fighter Plane I built after I saw some pics on google with starwars looking planes and ships. It's no star wars replica, but I love the way it looks. and because I just couldn't help it, I also mounted 8 missiles .

Flying it is very straight forward. As always, keep it straight on the runway and at about 120 m/s pull up hard-ish.

It flies very smooth. I left the UI on so you can see there's no SAS required, UNLESS you fire the rockets, which will make the plane spin like crazy if you're not careful. The fuel is a bit of a concern, but I managed to fly for about half an hour. Have fun

Amazingly cool! But can it land safely and then take off again if it has enough fuel?

(What im asking is this:

Is it reusable (meaning it doesn't have to stage in order to take off, and you can refuel it with docking ports or electricity)

[Calin]

Of course it can, it's an excellent glider, glides at about 50 m/s so landing it shouldn't be a problem. I landed it a few of times, but didn't manage to do it after I launched the rockets

[Calin]

There is no staging, the plane is pulled by two Turbo Jet engines you see in the screens. There are two stages, but the top one is for the missiles. There are no docking ports unfortunately, because I wanted to keep it as light and it wasn't really meant for that.

Very unique design, how did you come up with such a thing!

[sewerbird]

This is pretty. I'll have to follow suit and try out an unorthodox wing form on my next craft

Some of the things people build in this game astound me, i mean that bloody amazing.

[Calin]

Meh, glad you guys like it. I came up with an even crazier design, but needs improvement and a way to land it after that I'll post that as well.

I like the outside the box designs the most. Your title had me thinking your ship might be similar to mine, but your ring is in a different axis! Awesome.

[Calin]

Ooh, my friend that looks awesome, but I have something even better . trying to make something similar into an ssto, but also make it look like it's out of a sci fi movie

[DaRocketCat]

And this, is why the aerodynamic model needs to be updated .

[Calin]

No, this is why it needs to be updated:

Cause you can make spaceplanes like that. It's one of my most retarded looking ssto s

[T3ch17]

No, that looks amazing.Kind of like a tie fighter.

That must get a HELL of alot of lift.
