K-22 Rapier 6th Generation Kerbal Air superiority fighter

[Jon144]

After spending days working on this plane, I am happy to present it to everyone.

It has three low atmosphere jets that push it to an excellent top speed of 200M/S at only 1000M in altitude!

Shades sold separately using the pro props mod

Not only is the plane beautiful, Fast and maneuverable...

It breaks many safety records featuring a fully functional Kerbal ejection seat

Of course nothing is complete in KSP unless it gets to space!

So I made a dedicated SSTO version as well as the atmospheric varient

I Hope you enjoyed seeing this.

Be careful not to stage the second stage. Instead use the following Action Groups

Action Group 1: Toggle Jet engines

Action group 9: Fire Ejection system

This is awesome man! Kinda looks like a stealth fighter.

I have made a very similar two stage ejection seat on my WIP SSTO. You could turn the two on the canopy inwards to hide them.

Does this have any cargo space?

[Jon144]

Unfortunately no, Tried making it with a cargo door but it ruined the sharp stealthy shape

Swizz..

Its a damn fine aircraft anyway.

I like the cockpit on the fighter. Unfortunately there's no stock glass to cover it with, and no IVA with seats either..

I Suggest this mod for an IVA view

Looks like an R-41 Starchaser but I love it. I'm going to adopt this cockpit style as often as possible. . . I wish the cockpits had stock Ejection methods similar to this.

That's the best craft (it even has with a cockpit) ever!!
