All in one SSTO Plane for Duna!


Recommended Posts

This challenge is to see who can build the best space plane for operations on Duna.

Everything must be built stock, no mods.

Primary objectives:

1. Plane must be built with stock parts only.

2. Plane must be capable of sustained flight on Duna.

3. Plane must be and SSTO for Duna atmospheric conditions (Doesn't have to work as an SSTO on Kerban).

4. Plane must be capable of landing on the Duna surface.

5. Plane must be capable of refueling both on the ground and in orbit.

6. Plane must seat 2 or more passengers.

7. Plane must be transported to Duna with a transport vessel, no cheats.

8. Plane must have cockpit, fuselage, wings, engines, and look like a plane.

9. Give you plane a cool name.

All primary objectives must be accomplished in order for your plane to be a valid submission. All submissions must include screenshots of: the launch, transfer burn, orbit of both Kerban and Duna, Landing, achieving orbit of Duna from a ground takeoff, and refueling both on the ground and in orbit. If you can show orbital refueling and ground refueling on Kerban, that is also acceptable instead of needing to launch the required craft for this task out to Duna. Otherwise submit a video of you accomplishing all of these objectives.

Bonus Objectives:

1. Build and transport a refueling pod out to Duna and show an "On Duna's Surface" refuel.

2. Build a fuel transport rover of any size capable of transporting fuel to your landed plane and refuel it. Bonus points for most fuel capacity and fewest trips. Bonus points for build a craft that can refuel the surface refueling craft.

3. Build and transport a fuel station capable of landing on Duna and refuel your craft at it. Bonus points for the largest and most efficient station with the fewest parts.

Bonus Points for fastest recorded airspeed, furthest distance traveled in atmosphere, fewest parts, and coolest looking with fewest parts.

Challenge Ends On: 11/30/2013 If you submit anything on the 30th it will still be valid until 11:59 pm US Pacific Time
