Spaceplanes?! Meh!

[Whackjob]

Tried my hand at space planes. As you can imagine, I have little patience for the usual and sensible. I decided to model a WW2 era Blom und Schloss asymmetrical style aircraft.

Apparently there are issues with the aerodynamic model. This one is almost perfectly balanced in three ways... center of mass, thrust, lift are all in a nice little line from front to back. But, when taking off, it acts like it was thrown by the universe's biggest ninja and promptly imbeds into the ground.

They're going to raise my insurance premiums again today.

Blohm+Voss? Your own fault. i could imagine that building an asymmetric aircraft is nearly impossible in KSP.

That might be it. I'm trying to remember the company name, and my memory is very well known for having the same statistical reliability as random chance.

Yes its Blohm+Voss. And don't give up on Planes, give up on asymmetric planes.

I was told to give up on something once. I believe it was lifting something quite heavy into orbit. I'm sure you can guess how that went.

#EDIT: Unspoken challenge accepted. Gonna coma till tomorrowsday get, but after that I'm building a functional asymmetrical spaceplane.

[Canopus]

A Spaceplane? That goes to space? Then you won't even have the atmosphere to correct for the asymmetric design of your craft.

[Whackjob]

That's not a big issue. I think. I think the harder part is me having literally no spaceplane and SSTO experience.

Should be interesting.

And entertaining to watch, heheheh. From a trench and a nice wall of sandbags

Good luck!

If there is a way I am sure you will find it

My guess: asymmetric drag.

And, dude, you can totally build ridiculously big SSTOs! I have a SSTO Battlecruiser (Starcraft) that fills most of the hangar .

Oh Whackjob. You will have a 1000 part asymetrical SSTO if I know you
