Hexagon Industies present V-X1!

[Shark2199]

The Hexagon Industies is proud to present to you the V-X1, the best low altitude fighter ever made by my slaves, ekhe... kerbals, of course!

It's quite nice plane to fly, completely stock, and isn't using so much late tech, max that for atmospheric science, so can be used for career play. Capable of breaking Mach 2.

Oh, and almost forgot - it uses much of "not-liked-by-all" part clipping! You have been warned!

Some info:

Takeoff speed: ~80 m/s

Max altitude before flameout: 15000 m, not tested higher

Max speed reached: 700 m/s

Total mass: 9,49 tonnes

Good looking.

I like the way you managed to get 2 cockpits in there.

[Shark2199]

Thanks, I didn't thought anyone will notice it.

Simple and nice

It makes me think of one of my old craft, even if yours is bit more compact thanks to clipping :

Useful to recover Kerbonauts The black air intake are really nice for high altitudes, and one engine is barely enough, if you want to improve your model in terms of autonomy.

But I like your design for atmosphéric quick flight ^^

Thanks, I like that you like my design.

Also, your plane looks nice, I may do something similar in the future, if you don't mind...

PS. I will edit the thread in some days, cause more thing are coming...
