Boeing 787 Kreamliner + improved version

[spaceBrezel]

Welcome to my latest creation. I tried to build a Boeing 787 aka Dreamliner.

Top view with real 787 overlay:

As you can see im pretty close to the real thing apart from the engines.

The real ones are pretty huge and their positions are hard to copy in KSP without ignoring all the downsides (long retractable landing gear).

Also i didnt like the look of clipped wings (overlapping) and wing construction was pretty messy. TimeWarp wasnt even possible without explosions...

So i started all over without the restrictions of building an exact copy.

This is the final result:

ladder inspection

angled engines (4x turbojet stacked)

Some flight impressions:

Good Job !

If you are willing to use mods, this cockpit might be even better : http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/97525-0-90-WIP-DEV-OPTSpace-Plane-Parts-V1-4-9-Mk3-Space-Shuttle-Expansions

For the reactors, if you use larger but empty parts, it would not be even closer ?
