Anyone built a functional Skylon? (B9)

[White Rider]

Please move this if it should be in the craft exchange. I wasn't sure where to put it as its not a request, neither am I showing anything and being merely curious.

With the B9 pack updated and adding proper SABRE engines and such, along with its beautiful cargo bays and stuff I wondered if (as the title says) anyone has built a true to life (or true to concept as its not really been built yet) SKYLON SSTO cargo plane?

[Comrade Jenkens]

I tried to but the small wing area wouldn't lift such a large vehicle.

[Stelith61]

I saw one on the subreddit, look there.

Whoever did this... KUDOS!

I managed to take it a little further, see:

tacked on some nuke bottles on it, and we got ourselves a sweet interplanetary ride!

Jeb appears to love the thing! His colleagues don't seem to agree, though

several dozen kerbals unwittingly bravely gave their lives for science in order to make that ungodly apparatus finally airworthy

Do you have the .craft file? I'd love to fly that!

[Moach]

sure enough - it does require some untold number of other mods that I cannot account for right now, but knock yourself out:

get the StreamCaster Sovereign Mk1 here! <- right click and hit "save as"

Can it reach orbit?

[Motokid600]

What's the difference between a Skylon and an SSTO?

[Scotius]

SSTO means Single Stage To Orbit. Skylon is a name for proposed project of a SSTO plane able to reach orbit with 15 tons of cargo onboard.

I made Skylon , but not with B9. It was a while ago now 0.18 I think, I can only find a few pictures. Here's the only decent one.

Reminds me of a flattened Firefly. The ship, not the insect.
