Who needs rocket engines anyway?

Hi there,

I was experimenting with planes when I had a glorious idea: If more booster and more struts make your craft better, more air intakes couldn't be that bad! So I built the Soundbreaker Mk3â„¢.

Packed with 20 radial intakes feeding into one turbojet it is capable of producing thrust over 30km up

Mid flight I found out: It can get you to space

So I did the most kerbal thing I came up with:

Because jetpacks are there for a good reason

Jebbediah approves !

Now I have to save him.

Save? He doesn't seem to mind his current state

Anyways, it looks hilarious. But hey, it works! That jetpack ride - you used the jetpack while holding the craft to circularise?... Or just let the plane meet its fate in atmosphere and leave poor Jeb orbiting?

Why should Jeb need a plane in space? He wouldn't have enough power to push it in an orbit anyway.

I thought it would take a loooong time, that's why I asked
