Interkerbin Plane + Refueler

[Brevillance]

So i wanted to explore the North and South Pole, so i build a craft to do it. Unfortunately on the descent my wing decided that it would give itself to the mighty kraken, leaving my ship spiraling out of control.

Luckily for me i always prepare for these kind of events with chutes, which worked but left my kerbals stranded and cold on the North Pole. I believe in rescuing all my kerbals, so long as its actually possible, so i built a recovery craft to do the task of bringing the 3 kerbals home.

Im sure some of you may have seen this plane around, but i never offered a DL for it, now i am. A quick set of pics for you,

Stats for you:

3 seater cockpit, 4 additional slots for kerbals

3,060 fuel

80 mono - I use this to help brake on the runway to slow myself down faster

1 Drogue chute

1 Parachute

4 Lights - Two on each wing

4 Engines

58-ish m/s take off, usually off the ground before 60

stable and gains speed at a 40 degree ascent

10k cruise altitude at a around 350 m/s (generally 348)

4 Intakes

just above 17k m flameout with all engines running at max power - Flameout occurred at 460 m/s

Stable flight, holds position pretty well, holds level flight - Front does point up at first, move fuel as you burn it to add weight to bring the nose down

Part count is 177, although im sure some of you KSP guru's could find ways to reduce part count.

Refueler built to fuel the plane, useful if your playing using a re-usable space program.

Its not exactly the pretiest ever, but it works

Stats:

1 Seat

3.6k Fuel

600 Mono

3 Lights

Moves pretty well, stable and solid - Just dont jump it off anything lol

Nice first person view, good for docking easily

Part count of 123

I would suggest moving down the runway a bit before getting off, it can be a bit tricky at the back of the runway, If you can build a small ramp thats what i would suggest. I built a ramp with less then 10 parts thats used to get rovers and such items off the runway ASAP, it really helps out a lot

Hope you guys enjoy these fine machines, The SSTK (Single Stage To Kerbin) aircraft can be converted to a SSTO by changing the tanks on the side to rocket mixture tanks. The Plane is more then capable with a few modifications to make it to orbit, however, it is really only good for ferrying kerbals to and from kerbin as its not built to carry a payload.

Anyways guys, Enjoy the crafts

(P.S i know i spelled Expedition wrong..im not sure where the D came in at, but whatever Just rename it haha)
