This is a topic for my Jefferson Starship and its variants, including the prototypes.

I think most of you know what they look like since I\'ve been posting them around but if not I will post pictures below soon.

The Jefferson starship is a single engined VTOL aircraft capable of orbital speeds and, at an altitude of 20KM or above, has a range of well over a 3rd of the planets circumfrence.

The only downside is it requires a modified RCS tank for adavance manoeuvres and prolonged VTOL as it hogs the RCS. It is not recommended to use RCS whilst still in the atmosphere.

The name is a simpsons reference, I also have a ship called the Alan Parson\'s project, which I believe is some kind of hovercraft.

I have just surprised myself. I built a spaceship of the same design strategy as yours (without the canards and the advanced sas and LFT and LFE (Replaced with a SRB)). This was for high altitude testing, but I came across a problem, I went into orbit. But the design is the best spaceplane I have ever tested. I have never crashed this rocket. After the SRB runs out, I take the aircraft down to a lower altitude and then almost stall the plane as it lands. Just enough control not to crash but not to much.

THANK YOU.
