Daedalus Heavy Cargo Spaceplane

[AArtisan]

Nothing exceptional about this design but it does fully utilise the B9 3.75m cargo fusilages to maximum effect.

Built to get any 2.5m parts into orbit including the 64Jumbo tank, and still have ample fuel left over. The focus of the design isn't really some sort of fixed milestone, but just to create a nice looking airframe with the 3.75m cargo bays.

Mods used in this spaceplane include:

B9 Aerospace

Ferram Aerospace

TV Aerospace

Proceedural Wings

KSPX

Firespitter

KW rocketry

Hi, what is the maximum weight of payload you can put in this plane?

Daedalus? 'Space Cowboys' reference?

I haven't actually tested it to full potential but theoretically it can carry about 40 tons. or 1 full jumbo 64 fuel tank with a few bit attached. I only really tested it with a piece of a space station weighing about 20 tons though. Oh and the performance really is heavily dependent on how well you can fly spaceplanes. Getting to mach 4+ with air breathing engines is essensial to making this work properly.

naaa, It's purely coincidental. I just pick random interesting names for my designs.

Do you have recommended guidelines for flying this? Starts to get a bit squirrely around 10km
