Excalibur Exoatmospheric: Vulture Mk I VTOL Aircraft.

[Excalibur]

Excalibur Exoatmospheric Proudly Presents:

EE Vulture Mk I

Stable

VTOL

Capable of conventional/unpowered landings

Craft file attached. Requires:

• [li]Mechjeb[/li]
  [li]C7[/li]
  [li]CBBP (for struts)[/li]
  [li]Tiberdyne[/li]
  [li]Damned Robotics[/li]

After extensive testing of the VTOL concept it became starkly obvious that vectored thrust in contact with any part of the aircraft is very bad news. Hence the vulture-like high wing.

That\'s pretty cool there.

This thing has Failcan struts.

And it\'s pretty god, actually. But still can\'t land with 0 hs.

Cheers. Yeah I prefer the Failcan struts over anything else - small, strong and light.

It probably is possible to land it with zero horizontal velocity, but it\'s damned difficult. I\'ve landed it with around 2-3m/s hv which I class as a vertical landing just about.

By the way, word of advice:

Replace c7 gears to tiberdyne ones, just because of brakes and looks. I did it with myself, nothing really changed in flight capabilities.
