Description

1:Whips 2:VERT 3:rotors 4:brakes 5:ladders

I have been sitting on this treasure, a FleshJeb original creation since March, 2019. That version preceded Breaking Ground Robotics and utilized a giant faux rotor; it was capable of speeds in excess of 1,200 m/s! The original title was Cargo Chopper and it was indeed configured for landing provisions/heavy equipment.

With FleshJeb’s kind permission, I have now made this true, rotary version for publication. It’s top speed is 234 m/s. It lands like a feather but with pinpoint precision.

A passenger conveyance entitled King Fisher, a joint collaboration with FleshJeb. Built in the KSP 1.11.2 SPH with 88 stock parts.

Notes:

• [1] engines/generators
• [2] VERT ref: engage only after activating SAS as it will be canceled by any SAS op ([T], [F])
• [3] rotor engagement
• [4] rotor brake
• [5] belly ladder (+ final braking on lower rotor)
• [F] HORZ ref (cancels SAS Radial Out, most crucially!)
• tail boom tanks and the Slanted Adapter are empty but can probably take fuel without exceeding CoG limits
