What is it from?

The "Kerbdiver" is based on the "Skydiver" from the classic (but really goofy) Sci-Fi series UFO. If you haven't watched it you should, but be sure not to take it too seriously by today's standards

As I remember now I found this thread by looking for some design tips because I love to build rockets and planes but unfortunately I am not very creative. Now after clicking through all 48 pages I noticed that I forgot why I started to do it because I was just amazed by the crafts you guys have created.

I would love to rep all of you but well that would take some time. So please accept this little reply as a sign of reputation to all of you that have built and posted their crafts. You guys are really great.

(Sorry for my bad english, it's not my native language)

i like it. +rep

Pretty sure nobody likes this design but me - however that ain't gonna stop it from being my standard satellite lifter (for now)! Most audacious thing I've ever flown under nuFAR - and frankly I'm amazed it works at all

light settings are pretty awesome. looks like its burning. +rep

i like my new zeppelin:

infinite symmetry ftw!

My newest, the Roamer, a piggyback ship with spaceplane for other planets with atmospheres:

My VTOL Minmus miner/refinery/rover which makes runs up to orbit to fill up a fuel depot

All-in-one:

...Still alive?

Quick hack of the ADF-01 I made to turn it into the ADFX-02.

i like my new zeppelin:

Embedded illuminators - you can drag them all the way inside the parent part in stock, or in nuFAR you can use them to maintain your cross sectional area. Either way they light the ship

And lol, I had never thought of a zeppelin in KSP... what does it actually do? xD

Stock half-track for use in Project Arctic Film.

Two for the price of one!

Flying wing built in dev nuFAR.

XB-70 Valkyrie inspired SSTO: "Ah, but the hotdog is outside the bun!" Built when someone said all SSTO's post 1.0 had to look like hotdogs.

Flying wing built in dev nuFAR.

Is it stable without a vertical tail? I never find the airbrakes respond fast enough for yaw control...

It is *mostly* stable without a tail, I use elevons turned into flaps at the back of the wings for drag stability, you can see them in the pics in the spoiler.

Looks like a krogan's vehicle from Mass Effect a lot)

Polar Bear III...

My KSP Career has come full circle:

[Halsfury]

Coming soon

it is actually stable past the sound barrier, this was not true of the original design which would swap ends at 300m/s

I've been working on a lot of Project Arctic vehicles lately...

Because what's more aerodynamic than a butterfly? Nothing! So I made a hypersonic heavy lifting butterfly. With FAR. More a technical triumph than an aesthetic masterpiece, I'll freely admit

Well, I don't have much to show off as of yet, but I'm looking to kick off a new rocket builder company!

Here's the rover design I'm using and modifying for my circumnavigation expedition, linked in my signature.

It's called Green Thunder, and it's a long-haul truck

Oh yeah, and to deliver it to various locations I also built a plane addon, called Green Lightning:

For information on how they work and what I've done with them, please check out the mission report! It's still ongoing!

I built a couple of really interesting craft recently but this is the more complex of the two it's a WW2 1946 concept called the Focke Wulf Ta 283, it's ramjet powered with a rocket assisted takeoff IRL but in KSP it's turbo ramjet powered and the rocket in the rear is for flying at 30,000m

Aquatic activities play a huge part in NASA astronaut training.

Therefore I decided to send my Kerbals on a fishing expedition on a stock 50ft trawler

This is my flying wing the X-51 'Bat'. It's testing and design cost the life of brave Jebediah.

My first successful aircraft, the X-42 'Slingblade'. Subsequent test flights claimed the life of Valentina. We had a rough day at KSC....

The X-21 'Lark'. Bartby flew this to a potential Antarctic drill site. This is probably my most successful aircraft.

This beast was once an almost %100 non-stock craft, until i turned it into a stock one...... (it's colored with KerbPaint)

It goes Mach 1 at sea level, is highly maneuverable, easy to land, takes off quickly, i should release this for Halco...
