MU Nebula-Class SSTO

[ScriptKitt3h]

I'm pleased to introduce the all-new MU Nebula-Class SSTO (and soon-to-be starfighter)!

Following the failure of several prototype SSTOs and dropships, the MU's inter-atmospheric flight division got back to it's roots:

Maneuverability, utility, and aesthetics. The hallmarks of a great MU-brand SSTO. The Nebula-Class meets all those requirements, with room for further upgrades if needed.

Features include:

Twin-turbojet atmospheric engines

Twin MU chem-pulse orbital engines, with plenty of LFO fuel to use once in orbit. (Each engine is 1 Rockomax 48-7S supplemented/boosted by 1 LV-1R)

Advanced aerodynamic design: these SSTOs are highly agile in the hands of skilled pilots, and are quite stable on ascent and descent.

//Flight Instructions://

First, move the camera inside the belly of the craft and right-click on the hidden probe core. Once you do so, select "control from here".

After takeoff, point the ship at a 45 degree ascent path until you reach around 10,000 meters up. Once there, fly it carefully as you would with any other small SSTO craft.

On re-entry/atmospheric insertion, orient your craft facing your prograde velocity vector until your reach the lower atmosphere. Then, flare out (pull up) and fly it like any normal jet-powered aircraft. Runway landings are advised, but not necessary to safely land.

Military-grade "M" variant coming soon...

(Pics show final prototype craft; the production model the download provides features a single medium docking port added on the rear belly.)
