a bit of help for an SSTO

[MC.STEEL]

Introducing the THUNDERBOLT SSTO prototype.

This is my first SSTO i am trying and i managed to make it extra cool.

Mechjeb shows that i technicaly have the delta v using a R.A.P.I.E.R. instead of the jet it curently has.

I still want to tweak it a bit so lets see what you people have to say untill i go for the ssto tesing phase.

Btw; it has more scoops under the plane.

there's something missing, isn't it?

that was quick i know i am still trying to fix it

Fixed the Images for you, Also, it doesn't appear to have any rocket engines at all on your craft, hence you will never get a stable orbit because jet engines don't work in space.

Read the rest of the text it says i am going to replace the jet with a rapier engine

What's your question?

[Captain Sierra]

CoL looks a bit farther back than it needs to be, fuel looks like it may become an issue. Also, you need some OX-STAT solar panels on that sucker if you want to retain control in orbit (or RCS, but the panels are easier). I take it you have no interest in docking.

EDIT: can I see a side image? I'm concerned about your vertical CoM, CoT lineup with your intakes the way the are. You also shouldn't need more than the ram intakes. scoop intakes at high altitudes are crap.

I have an rtg on the underbelly,i just found that the fuel needs a bit more to reach orbit and the cot is just ever so slightly above the com but that doesent realy effect it because it only needs half the runway.

and sorry i cant post a sideview i totaly fail at image embeding

Take off the landing gear if you want an accurate read on your center of mass; they are 0.5t in the SPH, but massless in flight.
