Super High Intensity Thing Experiment

[SofusRud]

This is a stock SSTO that manages to achieve orbit without any form of rocket Propulsion. Just a can of jet fuel, a turbojet, some wings, 8 ram intakes and some RCS thrusters.

Reaching orbital speed

back on kerma firma

a better pilot could have put it back on the runway, but as it was i did manage to get it onto the same continent. I did have some flipouts, but that was more to do with me doing attitude control manouvers at high speed and with physics warp on. Probably also doesn't help that the center of drag is so far forward, but that's what all the yaw control is for. I did recover from all the flipouts and bad (and somewhat intoxicated) piloting will not stop me from declaring this mission a success.

I seem to have lost the craft file.
