Hello!

I'm a first time poster here at the forums, although I've owned and enjoyed KSP for quite a while now.

I've also have enjoyed searching the forums for craft that other players have created (some of them are quite amazing as well!:D).

After just browsing for a long time I decided to register to the forums and share some of my own!

I was (and still am) a huge fan of aviation,

and after maxing out the tech tree, setting up an infrastructure in space, and getting bored of doing crazy things in the VAB (which took some time I tell you),

I decided to try some spaceplanes;

and ever since thats all I do!:)

Here are some of my (somewhat)replica creations!

A take on the f-104 Starfighter, A failed attemt at a F-16(which turned out somewhat too stubby),

A Double engine jet somewhere between a SU-27 and a F-14, and a delta wing Dassault Mirage

Javascript is disabled. View full album

All of the jets are very maneuverable, usually around 8~10 g's (The airframe sometimes rips apart if the craft is pushed too far during high g maneuvers around 12 + gs)

I don't use any mods, or the debug part-clipping

All of the planes have excess air intakes(mostly hidden but some do stick out), capable of pushing the apoapsis to 150 Km or so on jets alone, they also have a small supply of oxidizer and hidden aerospikes or LV-909s in the main jet engine. Originally intended to replicate afterburner, these also let the planes act as SSTO vehicles.:)

**I acknowledge that "Air Hogging" and using cubic octagonal struts to "Semi-Part clip" components are a controversial matter in KSP, but I just Like to have my planes do things that they really shouldn't be capable of doing, and look relatively similar to it's real life counterpart, and since KSP is a single player game, I don't blame anyone for shunning the fact that I do. To each their own! But who doesn't like the fact of a game where F-14's can pull over 10 gs and also go to SPACE!?:)**

All opinions/criticisms are welcome as long as they don't hurt anybody:sticktongue:.

Also please do share your own creations as well! Mods or No Mods, all intricate/amazing/crazy creations of flight are welcome.

It's not a replica but:

UMI 70G capable plane

lol

you took my meaning word for word! Not quite what I was trying to convey but.. I like it!:D

How does that piece of kerbal ingenuity hold together in those crazy turns?

The airframe(wings mostly) of my aircraft usually rip off when subdued to more Gs than a certain threshold,

which I kinda like because it makes the flying more immersive (throttling back for slow speed maneuvers and all)

But I have to try this indeed:)

This is a replica thread. But I should upload my sr-72 and sr-72 low altitude racer edition.

Standard.

From my skunkworks, I roll out to you my newest black project. The versatile sr-72.

It is extremely maneuverable, has a low stall speed, has almost 3000 units of liquid fuel, can be drone operated, has light landing gear with a unique structural design, has low observability features integrated, can communicate over four channels, and is hypersonic capable. SSTO conversion can also occur on demand.

Download: https://www.dropbox.com/s/3brgapfuersm7hu/Sr-72%20Goldbird.craft

Aesthetic changes have occurred since these photos. All aspects are now improved, and it is much more sleeker for stealth along with capability for mid air re fueling.

Tanker prototype in progress.

Low altitude edition.

Engine change and a dual layer canard layout.

Hello good sir!

I actually have some of your great designs in my SPH savefile! Including the vectoring thrust f-22, your designs are actually what I base judgement if my aircraft are good or not on :) gave me some amazing ideas for my aircraft as well!

Here's my rendition after trying out your original VTOL F-35 a while back

kept the VTOL out for part count and weight reasons.. has an afterburner too!

Now I have to check out that V2 of your f 35:D

Thats nice!

I've always wanted to try Kerbal mid-air refueling for my aircraft, but it seemed so impossible since the control and altitude(20km I think) limitations.. I did send a tanker aircraft into LKO and used it as a refueling station, but it wasn't as interesting as the mid-air counterpart..
