I've noticed that none of your planes use landing gear. Single use only?

The landing gear are massless.

Giggleplex is correct. Landing gear is effectively massless, even though it shows a mass in its stats. Cubic octagonal struts are also massless.

[Woopert]

No part in ksp has no mass

I believe struts and fuel lines are massless, too. Someone said it on Amloris's Space Shuttle thread.

Great crafts by the way. The aesthetics are really nice!

I knew about the cubic, but not landing gear! Why does the CoM move then?

[Zuni]

Wow. I've never seen a showcase of so many lift-hogging machines.

The CoM is based off of the numbers in the part description, not its mass when physics load. The struts, fuel lines, small trusses, ladders, and the aircraft landing gear are physicless.

You can test this out by sticking a landing gear on the side of a SRB (more correctly, a SRM) and launch it.

[SkyGear]

Wow gz nice designs, downloaded a bunch of your planes, impressive

[xxjetterxx]

I think I'll post some planes, myself!

RevanCorana thank you for that picture....

now i have finally a goal for an SSTO design, thank you so much.

[Guest]

Is it copyrighted or smth?

and youre welcome

[9t3ndo]

i dont know, but if i can build it you get honored in the credits for finding/painting this picture

You have it backwards. Landing gear IS massless. Cubic Octagonal strut is effectively massless at only 1 kg.

[9t3ndo]

Hey i'm get a bit forward to design that awesome concept art thing

I want to build it as an SSTO

This was the first test fligt, straitght 80°

Engines: 2 Rapier + 2 Basic Jet's

I bet I could also recreate that plane using some elements from my sabre and broadsword:

A little update - part count: 174

- engines are changed: 2 Turbo Jets and 2 of the small Rockomax

- first wing design

- landing gear added

- doing a first 105k orbit with fuel left

- testing the needed landing speed: ~115m/s

btw in atmosphere it flies like a brick but it flies...

That inspires me to do a large replica. I might actually get to test out my new pc soon.

Also, enjoy those 18 rep pnts.

[9t3ndo]

thank you. maybe with a larger scale you can do the wing design better and more detailed things. the parts are just to big, particularly the jet engines, that make it looking "fat"
