Build the biggest airplane (that can land)

keptin · June 25, 2012

Was able to slap some more wings onto it to form the Ultratanker 10000. It can grow in length, if need be.

Nasa wants their compute back

nice job.

My impressivly-creative named large spaceplane: 'BIG'

It is so stable that it is difficult to get out of control. Takes off at around 100m/s, and can land on grass or in the water.

It is also capable of making very tight turns:

My attempt at a larger craft, expertly named: 'BIgg' (slightly more creative on the capitalization)... but it can\'t take it\'s own weight

Looks good, but I need a picture of you the aircraft for the challenge when it\'s on the runway without speeding.

can i win the prize for fastest in atmosphere aircraft?

Thats cheating, you got some FTL drives. however, i have made it with stock to that speed.

i was just messing around with some engines it was not supposed to be serious,and did you seriously get to 1,000 m/s+ at 13,000 meters using stock?

Yes. i got to 700 M/S but im sure it could go faster. search the topic in the spacecraft exchange: Koncorde.

Above 10 KM. So no.

1 There is no catagory of that.

2 It\'s likes pretty much of cheating.

First, congratulation with your first post, welcome at the KSP community.

Second, really nice and big plane! In further updates the problem of parts that fallen will be fixed.

Nooblet68 · July 5, 2012

I think the only problem is a lack of struts.

Diio · July 5, 2012

I think the only problem is a lack of struts.

the problem is that i never get the chanse to see what happens .. i press lunch and the plane i broken. mostly it breakes down in smaller 'planes' , hard to explain.

Here is the XFBC 101 C or Experimental Flying Battlecruiser model 101 variant C, hopefully I didn\'t break any of the rules.

It uses 66 MK3 fuselages and somewhere between 65 and 75 wings.

The XFBC 101 C is one of the better handling airships I have made (the only ones that were better use damned robotics rotatrons to pivot engines), it turns very smoothly and requires very little pilot input to keep it from crashing. While it requires its nose to be pointed upwards to achieve level flight it can fly upside down to bombard the ground. Thanks to all the fuel tanks it can fly for a very long time though it will eventually become unbalanced from fuel loss. The Damned Robotics joints and struts on the front make takeoff and landing very easy as they not only pivot the nose up on takeoff but they also act as suspension on landing.

I\'m flying a plane right now, and it\'s got 7 HOURS to MECO, so, can I just post a few screenshots showing that?

I don\'t want to stare at a dark screen for 7 more hours.

For reference, I am T + 21 minutes.

Phoenix Aerospace · July 6, 2012

Screenshots? I\'d love to see how you managed that.

When you think you want to entry with that time you just must have to read the rules and you understand how to entry.

Congratulations! You\'re now number six on the leaderbords (now I\'m not anymore on the leaderbords :\'()

Extend the leaderboards? problem solved 8)

Yeah, but then I must be measure everything again, 5 people aren\'t on the leaderbords anymore.

Whoohoo I feel so honored! I knew putting wings on all those sea fearing ships would pay off some day!

I wasn\'t entering yet, it was just for a reference, and I\'ll post a few screenshots in a minute. Apparently my dad closed Kerbal last night.

Diio · July 20, 2012

entering challenge!

My'small' plane !

I can see that those large wings are the only thing allowing it to fly so slow.
