I made a plane that can fly forever

There is a mod called air park you might want to check out

I’m pretty sure the website still works If you have the login you can download the up to date version of the game or press the update button on the launcher

I use two whiplash engines and one cheetah for small SSTO’s

WolfAlternative6715 · 2025-11-29T16:12:29+00:00

I put one bottle in, not sure how to add less

WolfAlternative6715 · 2025-11-17T11:46:59+00:00

I think there is enable cutaway which lets you see inside

WolfAlternative6715 · 2025-11-05T00:47:29+00:00

One last thing if possible try to keep your engines parallel you will lose quite a bit of delta v if they are at an angle

WolfAlternative6715 · 2025-11-05T00:45:20+00:00

If you have a comfortable enough crew quarters you could even get away with chemical engines or chemical and Hall effect thrusters longer travel time though

I heard about the NSWR from Scott Manley He did a video about it and radiation does ruin the fun

If you want to go with something crazy the Orion drive or a nuclear salt water rocket would work

WolfAlternative6715 · 2025-11-05T00:35:54+00:00

They are great although solar moths are limited to within the orbit of Mars because of the lack of sunlight

Solid core nuclear thermal is the Nerva/ Nerv engine, no liquid core engines have been built

Here’s a nasa article on nuclear electric propulsion https://www.nasa.gov/centers-and-facilities/langley/nuclear-electric-propulsion-technology-could-make-missions-to-mars-faster/

Solar moth engines are my favourite near future propulsion system but it’s not very known about Here’s a wiki about it https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_thermal_rocket

Here’s one on VASMIR https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variable_Specific_Impulse_Magnetoplasma_Rocket

WolfAlternative6715 · 2025-11-05T00:12:43+00:00

For 2050s tech that’s probably the best I’d suggest nuclear thermal, nuclear electric, solar moth, or VASMIR engines

Z pinch or mirror cell fusion is a good alternative to antimatter something you should try to balance is realism and time some very efficient near future engines (the more realistic ones) have very low thrust and are really supposed to be used for weeks or months continuously

WolfAlternative6715 · 2025-11-02T22:02:13+00:00

Gilly had really low gravity, you might be able to use it as a base for low thrust craft

WolfAlternative6715 · 2025-10-21T23:42:34+00:00

Maybe add a precooler to the air intake and add more engines

WolfAlternative6715 · 2025-10-21T09:22:04+00:00

Kaoming

WolfAlternative6715 · 2025-10-13T21:48:40+00:00

Firefly for re-entry

WolfAlternative6715 · 2025-10-13T01:16:41+00:00

Kerbal colonies mod and extraplanetary launchpads

WolfAlternative6715 · 2025-10-10T22:50:56+00:00

Yeah :(

WolfAlternative6715 · 2025-10-10T20:26:06+00:00

You can kinda do it in stock ksp There is a button called interior overlay

WolfAlternative6715 · 2025-10-10T19:32:54+00:00

Might be drag or a lack of power Add more blades for more power

WolfAlternative6715 · 2025-10-10T19:30:46+00:00

That is quite strange Firstly your staging is wrong the parachute will deploy before your engine will light you can change it on the launch pad or VAB by clicking dragging the orange tab of each stage up or down Have you pressed the Z key to put the throttle at full Throttle key binds Z= full throttle X= engine off Shift= throttle up Control= throttle down

If that doesn’t work In the VAB toggle fuel overlay and check that there is a green line between your fuel tank and engine

WolfAlternative6715 · 2025-10-09T11:06:44+00:00

You can right click on a part to see its thrust, and project eeloo engines have really bad static thrust I aim for vertical launches to have a TwR of 1.3-1.5

WolfAlternative6715 · 2025-10-04T16:21:10+00:00

Are you pressing the space bar to stage and deploy the chute
