HA!

the second I saw that craft I thought of you! That shows what a great individual style you have. She looks fantastic! So sci-fi.

:D

That looks a million times better than my old, terrible attempt at the Sabre. XD

Get it into Orbit an back. RCS is still missing

Welp, my old Sabre replica pales in comparison to that. Time to experiment with the Vector engines a bit...

It's funny but the tail fins you used would be almost an exact match but reversed with an elevon added

[URL="http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/101559-Raptor9-s-Showcase-Concepts-Solutions/page3#21"]Complete rip off of an old design by Raptor9[/URL] (although I did come up with that engine-through-reaction-wheel thing independently before but never really use it), but I'm still quite happy with it.

Plenty of excess power, easy to fly, nimble, and can carry 6 kerbals on seats or lift a small payload. Hopefully I can find out a way to sort out the wing strength and fuel flow issues, and also make it faster and more efficient in forward flight. If I manage that it should be quite a useful VTOL.

I was working on a design for a plane in The Asteroid Sentinels, and built an 10 person plane almost totally based off the SR-72, and what was supposed to be an innocent test ended in a ridiculous 68 min circumnavigation, and 29 km ceiling, and speed of Mach 4.66.

Update 1
I made the PT Boat kitchen, I find it cute :)[IMG]http://i.imgur.com/m9gW5u0.png[/IMG] Edited by SaturnianBlue

How about my stock take on a Grumman F-9 Cougar (made for Aperture Science)?

Enjoy!
Oh, I forgot something...

Currently, I have no idea how it works in FAR, so I suppose it is WIP/finished. Finished for Stock KSP, unknown for FAR players.
So, try it out if you have FAR! Edited by Astrofox

Looks like it could fly with a few tweaks

Finally started working with dropships again...

It's got a very nice TWR on both the VTOL and horizontal-flight engines, but the fuel efficiency isn't the greatest. However, the high TWR lets me add droptanks... I'll have to do some experiments.

Aircraft building fever has set in...

UCAV of some sort, has a missile that flies like a fat duck.

Twin-engine VTOL, complete with a custom crew area with room for 6.

and finally, a super-maneuverable fighter that can carry payloads, do stunts, and more.

New utility VTOL prototype. Compared to the other one it's got a lower TWR and is a little less maneuverable, but it also carries a whole lot more fuel, is way more efficient in forward flight, is more stable, and has a bigger payload area.

Did a bit of flight-testing on my twin-"rotor" VTOL tonight, managed to fly from the runway, pickup a passenger from the deck of a naval vessel, and return to KSC safely.

I'm hoping to eventually make a slightly larger, but lower-part-count boat to allow me to test landings on the water more reliably, but that's a challenge all by itself.

I made a heavy lift VTOL for shunting cargo around bases, until KER comes back it's hard to tell what it's max payload is but you can see it here hauling 45 tonnes without too much difficulty, so it looks promising. Range is probably quite low, it does burn fuel quite fast and it has no aerodynamic lift so cruise is no more efficient than hover, but the aim was more moving heavy loads short distances so I'm not too bothered about that.

Can land on the VAB helipad, the main difficulty flying this is really the unbearable lag from the exhaust effects hitting the ground. Please please please somebody find a way to turn that off without disabling the entire exhaust, it's driving me crazy.
