antbin Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 (edited) First, shoutout to carazvan's Bee series cargo SSTOs - very nice!I've got a 90 ton, 370+ part SSTO that can deliver 40 tons to a 120km orbit. That gives it a payload fraction of 30%.Javascript is disabled. View full album.craft file here (0.21.1)cargo here (use SubAssembly Manager to attach)Version number is 0.91 as I've got a few final tweaks to do and need to decide how many frills to add back in. Some SAS reaction wheels? More RCS? Any suggestions? 1.0! Edited September 16, 2013 by antbin Upped cargo from 36 to 40 tons Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tassyr Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 (edited) This is the third frame design in the High-Speed Trans-Atmospheric Courier program, the Banshee. Here is the testing frame, designated X-103-5Looks sleek and fast on the runwayWith a profile that looks like the child of a SR-71 Blackbird and a P-80 Shooting StarBusiness in the front, srs bizznes in the back!Flight profile is... difficult at present. Even though it stands at a positive angle of attack on the ground, it still needs to run off the end of the runway to start getting lift.Once she's up, she's extremely stable, but also extremely loathe to change her heading.Though it requires a good deal of speed to stay aloft, it can land relatively easy, thanks to the airbrakes. Oh my god that pack looks awesome. Which is it? I must have those parts... @.@ Edited August 2, 2013 by Tassyr Cut out the images so as not to spam folk. >.< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loabstas Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 I am very happy to finally share the Type 24 Raven R2, The previous version posted earlier tumbled on re-entry... although as you can see here, this revision handles re-entry perfectly... BUTTTTTTTTTTTTTT.... my poor choice in landing area resulted in ripping off the rear of the craft xDCraft File » http://www./download/bo2wmn7ccoaaqdx/SSTO_Type_24_Raven_R2.craftAction Group 1 - Toggle Air Intakes / Jet Engines.Action Group 2 - Toggle Rocket Engines.Action Group 3 - Toggle Nuclear Engine.Action Group 4 - Eject Lower Bay Cover, allowing you to decouple the probe in the belly.This aircraft will fly on jet engines up to thirty thousand.Bill Survived!!!

Captain Sierra Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 My first ever successful SSTO (by that, I mean I actually got it to orbit, didn't flip out, got it down, and the ship was still capable of landing; without a joystick I still wrecked it though; RIP Jeb and Bob).The Orion crew shuttle. Can carry 8 kerbals to orbit only needs 1 to fly.If you gas it up at a station, you can get to the Mun. Dunno bout minmus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BolkoB Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 Hello all talent constructors, want to ask if someone have craft file of beautifully designed SSTO VTOL spaceplane which is capable of reaching Dune - so i could refuel it there and go to Leathe. I got a lot of trying to do it by myself, but my crafts if far away from perfect. its kinda real challenge for you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Specula Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 (edited) My first real SSTO: The Fat Cat 1. Just as heavy and difficult to get into orbit as it's name implies. Also 'JUST' capable of going to Laythe with full rocket fuel and no jet fuel after an orbital refueling.Version 2:Version 3: Edited August 3, 2013 by Specula Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why ask somebody to build one in a thread where people are doing just that, and often sharing the craft file? Also, there are hundreds on the Spacecraft Exchange, not to mention Kerbal Spaceport...

RTK Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 Just a quick post, Stock SSTO just returned from orbit.hope the image posts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BahamutoD Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 My latest experiment-gone-right, an SSTO that can refuel and return to the VAB helipad, then go back to orbit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exothermos Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 I was fooling around with smaller SSTOs today as I would eventually like to attach a couple to a carrier headed to Laythe.This is the first design. It is a perfectly good SSTO, and works great.It rotates at 25 m/s making vertical landings a breeze. Especially with the new ASAS.But it felt too big, so I resorted to clipping for this:Again it has no trouble getting to orbit with plenty to spare, even with a poodle.But we can go even smaller.Like a bat outa hell.Orbit with only 1 jetfuel can and a FL-T200 with 90 units of Rocket Fuel? No problem. With 1/3 tank left even!I love this game... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GraviTykillz Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Ant bin..you plane is great..very stable nice way to get to orbit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agent86 Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 (edited) This is my first SSTO, called Shelter.It's really easy to fly, you can pretty much point the nose in the right direction, turn on ASAS and come back when you reach orbital speeds.Diamond winged configurationJust making a coffee while we accrue speed. The over/under jet configuration makes high alt flameouts less deathspin-yApproaching the filling station. As you can see, I've been practicing.Parking's a bit tight. Hard not to poke a hole in something with those pointy canards.Success!Also, it kinda looks like a Kitty!Craft file: http://kerbalspaceprogram.com/shelter-ssto-spaceplane/ Edited August 5, 2013 by Agent86 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KissSh0t Posted August 6, 2013 Author Share Posted August 6, 2013 Thing's like small batteries can be placed inside of fuselage~Struts can also be used inside of wings and objects. as long as the strut doesn't pass through an object, it will still work.;> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stratoroc Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 Introducing the Strider. Utilizing EC (extreme clipping) and ACF (altered config file) technologies this thing will fly a single Kerbal into orbit, have close to 1k delta-V to play with and land back on kerban.this was also the first time I landed anything on the runway and actually touched the runway.
