The Dodo

[Robo336]

I recently created an... interesting plane...

...and a name has been chosen:

The Dodo

Because all kerbal creations are prone to extinction by fireball...

It is stable under manual control but avionics makes it... flutter.

It has sepratrons for both takeoff and landing and can therefore take off and land on short stretches when fully fueled.

It also has a parachute for landing on even shorter landing sites.

So try it out:

And tell me what you think.

Next question:

What to use it for?

"The Eagle", obviously.

[Deadweasel]

The angled wings make it look a bit like a pelican...

[TheAndrewTaco]

It looks like some kind of bird of prey, i.e. Falcon, Hawk, Eagle, etc., so maybe one of those.

How about some windy names?

Typhoon

Hurricane

Tempest

Zephyr

Tornado

Take your pick!

[Panichio]

"The Eagle", obviously.

Or The Raven.

[RickyKSP]

The Pigeon. lol

Guys, guys... This is KSP. EVERY design is assumed to be endangered (or at least a danger to the pilot(s) and everyone in the immediate vicinity).

So how about "Dodo"?

Endangered, not extinct.

[Deadweasel]

Endangered, not extinct.

Well of course, but there are no currently endangered species that immediately evoke the same mental image.

Looking over the suggestions, I shall be naming it "the Dodo".
