EpicSpaceTroll139 Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 (edited) An update on that MD-88 replica. It's got its basic form. It just won't fly. Even tho the COL appears to be right under the COM... It just wants to slowly nose down into the water... gonna have to work with it a while. Also I've been working on an extremely fast air-breathing plane, the Javeline Mk2-2. Well, at least that's the version in this pic. It can do 1.7km/s. The design is "secret" for now, so this is the closest pic we've got Edited August 12, 2016 by EpicSpaceTroll139 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Castille7 Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 S7-Beech-18 @Majorjim! Beech 18 with seating and theater for your comfort while flying. Still working on the handling and a few other tweaks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's 1,738 m/s stock. @Castille7 oh cool! I think you should work on the nose a little bit. Maybe try clipping Mk. 1 cockpits into each other. Other than that looks great!

Castille7 Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 (edited) SSTO Energy SourcePhoto Album Energy Source was inspired by the Omega 7 Refuel Station and by others on the forum. It's an SSTO for refueling Omega 7, so far I've been able to Orbit very nicely but not able to deliver much fuel supply. My goal is to deliver Fuel, Propellant & Ore in large quantities. The craft is using 12 Vectors and 8 Rapiers. Edited August 12, 2016 by Castille7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Castille7 Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 (edited) Beech Model S7-MJ I think this craft title would be more appropriate. I made a few changes and have been working on the handling of the craft, I changed the side windows with lighted ones, the twin tail and nose have also been changed.

eorin Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 Hi! I`m back. This time im working on something different from planes and replicas, this time i have a new version (a total rework) of one of my firsts crafts, the mantide jet-car. here you can see the very old model Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azimech Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 Captain Sulu, the computer core is overheating due to the ship's high part count! Couldn't find a kerbalized Excelsior class so decided to build one. Scale 1:6. Part count is already high, estimated part count when finished: 2000. I'll first build the standard Excelsior and later make another version as the Enterprise-B. Kerbals will be able to travel to some parts of the ship. Fully stock & won't have any engines, I'm not putting chemical rockets on it. Welding? Nope. The idea is that people use it for space battles ... some day.

Azimech Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 I should take a break. At least the neck is done after a major redesign and looks pretty good. The impulse engines have the right shape and size but the lighting is a problem. Same with the nacelles. The rear quadrant of the saucer is a mess and I'm out of inspiration how to build the secondary hull ... today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omegagoldfish Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 (edited) Spoiler Spoiler Spoiler My SSTO in progress. This is the Miner variant, (it holds a Drill and 800 units of Ore, maximum) Edited August 15, 2016 by Omegagoldfish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The design is "secret" for now, so this is the closest pic we've got In my experience, when an aircraft simply doesn't take off despite an appropriately placed CoL, chances are it doesn't have enough lift/wing area. (Think of it like trying to lift an airliner with a pair of canards only.) If you're willing to get cheaty unconventional, clip a few wing boards in the fuselage, placed and angled appropriately.

Azimech Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 (edited) It works! No kraken attack and I really expected one! Still a lot of work to do and at 1472 parts. It runs amazingly fluid! Edited August 15, 2016 by Azimech Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
