Arrowmaker VTOL SSTO (Breaking Ground required)
The Arrowmaker is a 59t VTOL SSTO capable of carrying 6 kerbals into LKO (up to 830m/s delta-V remaining) and back.
It is (surprisingly) well balanced for an experiment of a VTOL SSTO with rotating hover engines, and rather easy to fly, so I’m happy to share this craft with you.
It includes extendable solar panels and radiators to cool down the spaceplane after flight. (the fuselage can warm up to 400c after a specifically hot re-entry, so don’t touch it without a spacesuit)
