Vertical Take off SSTO video

[bgrif59]

Hey everyone,

This is one of my first creations in ksp, and I decided to make a Vertical Take-off SSTO. It launches from the launchpad, and has 2 Sabre S engines powering it. Made with B9 aerospace pack. Please tell me if I am breaking a rule or something posting a video instead of pictures, so I can fix it!

Video here:

Also, I suck at landing so it kinda crashed

I would have made a proper orbit but i just did a quick launch to get some pics

I thought this was going to be a true VTOL craft, not a plane launched like a rocket. Not your fault all on me there. You have a pretty decent starting design there, with some refinements it could be a real nice SSTO space plane. Just lose the vertical launch system.

Thanks Hodo!

Yeah, i quite like the whole launch like a rocket thing, not only because it is easier, but also it reminds me of the Us space shuttle when it was still running. just slap a booster on the side and there ya go. i did make a real quick VTOL engine, but its more like a fuel tank with jet engines on the corners still works though.

And if you guys like the video sub and like! not sure if advertising my youtube channel is like breaking the rules here, but i really want to see how many people actually enjoyed my crappy voice-over

You are using B9 parts so you have access to the same engines I use most of the time for VTOLs.

Or something like this.... good old fashioned Buck Rogers style SSTO.
