@@theformalmistake You can use it to do a Dreamchaser-like launch system, where the plane sits on top of a rocket vertically during launch, but then operates like a plane during re-entry.
1. That is a rocket with wings, not a plane. The engines aren't even airbreathing. Pain. 2. That is also a rocket. 3. That is also a rocket. 4. That's a SSTO plane. But not a recon plane. And don't put superheavy landing gear on a light aircraft.
this is so painful too watch lol- making mach 3 planes is super easy with whiplash engines once you get above 10 kilometers in altitude and they have crazy efficiency (i could get intercontinental with just 1 of the long mk2 liquid fuel tanks and the the liquid fuel wings)
1:15 "I don't think I'm missing anything" dunno, elevators? canards, maybe? something to control the pitch axis? 3:00 "Almost out of fuel" yet completely out of oxidizer, so that fuel is useless You basically keep building small rockets into planes and launching them horizontally. Try using the higher-thrust air-breathing engines, or for bonus points the combo air-breathing/oxidizer HALBERD engines...
what the hell mate?! that is not even hard in KSP. ever heard of an SSTO? the most common build in KSP. these are planes that only switch from airplane to rocket at around 1400 m/s
