How do I get better at Ssto?
For most SSTOs, a safe procedure is to: Take off and climb at only 5 degrees. This should allow the RAPIERs to accelerate past 400m/s (the speed at which their thrust begins to increase) easily. Slowly pitch up to avoid overheating. Keep at around 15 degrees to allow the plane to accelerate past 1000m/s.
What is the fastest jet engine in KSP?

- Zaddy23 made it to Mach 4.92 and has a speed of 1365 m/s.
Why does my plane Keep flipping KSP?
Body deformation can be caused by heavy parts, many parts connected together, or forces on the plane. When your plane speeds up, it sounds like your lift could be pushing your nose into the runway causing deformation or an oscillation with the same effect.
Where should the center of lift be on a plane KSP?
The center of lift needs to be as close to the center of mass as possible. The direction of the thrust needs to go through the center of mass.
How do you get a lift in KSP?
You can add a pair of canards (the AV-R8 winglets work great for this) up at the front of the plane, as far forward as you can manage. These can lift the nose up. You can move your rear landing gear much farther forward– put them just slightly behind the CoM .
How does a spaceplane work?
A spaceplane is a vehicle that can fly and glide like an aircraft in Earth’s atmosphere and maneuver like a spacecraft in outer space. To do so, spaceplanes must incorporate features of both aircraft and spacecraft. As of 2019 all past, current, and planned orbital vehicles launch vertically on a separate rocket.
Is single-stage-to-orbit possible?
A single-stage-to-orbit (or SSTO) vehicle reaches orbit from the surface of a body using only propellants and fluids and without expending tanks, engines, or other major hardware. It is considered to be marginally possible to launch a single-stage-to-orbit chemically-fueled spacecraft from Earth.
