Guard13007 Industries (New plane: Strikebreaker 24v (VTOL))

[Guard13007]

Some of you may know of me, most of you don't, but in any case I occasionally design things in KSP. I had a thread a long time ago on the old forums with designs, and never bothered to recover that...because it was a bit ****. In any case, here I am to dump more planes (and maybe rockets) on you, starting with a blatant ripoff from NerdCubed (making a version of his latest attempts at spacing that works, as a plane).

The Strikebreaker 24v

The Strikebreaker series has a long-standing tradition of finest crafting of small, fast, and maneuverable fighter jets. The Strikebreaker 24v improves from previous iterations by adding Vernor engines and heavier fuel + ox tanks to both give it a higher potential for flight range (some modification may be required) and easier VTOL operation. To ascend in VTOL mode, simple use 2/3rds throttle. To descend, use 1/3rd throttle*. The Vernor engines can be used to help you maintain altitude on 1/3rd throttle or come in for a softer, more controlled landing. Be careful flying vessel backwards, it does not perform nearly as well in reverse.

(just a short demonstration of the vessel)

* These values are for a fully fueled (as provided) vessel. When emptied or overfilled, these values may change. Also note that overfilling the rear tanks will throw off the balance, and modification of the VTOL engine placement is recommended.

Mini Apollo v2 (WIP 8)

Revisiting an old idea, here is a fully functional Apollo mission miniaturized to one crew member in a much smaller rocket. Even includes power generation and science payload, so you can science while you science, or something like that.

(I recommend watching for how to fly it if you can't figure it out)

The NerdCubed

Inspired by NerdCubed's recent attempts to make a spaceplane, here's a version of it that actually works (as a plane).

added Strikebreaker 24v / changed title

NerdCubed, sounds like a familiar name Anyways nice simple plane. Sometimes simple is better

[Guard13007]

Added a new craft! This one is not finished yet because it can be made a bit more efficient with more margin for error by adjusting fuel levels (I think), but it works perfectly, so enjoy!

I like the look of that lander!
