Cargo plane

[Ethanadams]

No cheats other than unlimited fuel and stock parts

the challange is to build a massive cargo plane.

inside the the cargo bay put a small ship.

fly the cargo plane to 600 feet and have the engine jettisoned

then have the small ship deploy its parachute still inside the cargo bay

then disconnect the small ship

now have the cargo plane deploy its parachutes and

you win

when you do this send me a video or pictures

this is is possible I have done it

can you explain further? no offense but you need to work on your english

[michaelsteele3]

Could you explain a little bit more? And by cargo bay do you mean the space plane hangar?

[Ethanadams]

No by cargo bay I mean inside the cargo ship

[tutike2000]

I think he wants a big plane that will drop a smaller plane from its cargo bay mid-flight.

And the small plane should have a deployed parachute when it gets dropped.

Exactly what I ment I have a video but I can't upload it for some reason

600 feet? That's like... not very high at all. 182 meters...

[Ethanadams]

I meant 600 m

Dropping the engine had our engineers scratching their heads awhile, but we assured them the customer is always right, so they made it happen. During testing they realized this makes it much easier to extract the parasite. They did ask why the plane has to die in order for the cargo to fly, but they stopped asking when we mentioned the pilot korps is always recruiting.

3. Use action group 1 to open the cargo bay.
   
4. Stage to jettison engine section.
   
5. Stage to deploy PowerChute chutes and ignite PowerChute's engine.
   
6. Use action group 2 to decouple PowerChute from carrier and deploy carrier chute.
