Description

Proven to lift 102 tons to a 80 km orbit with over 300 m/s of DV to spare. Has no tech level 9 parts, no R.A.P.I.E.R. Engines, instead it acheives its fantastic performance using 16 Turbo Ram Jets and 1 very efficent yet high powered rocket engine, for a combined 17 engines. Comes with every kind of docking port.

To Orbit Procedure
- Assuming max cargo load to 80 km orbit
1. Start (stage) Jet engines to max power and accelerate along runway.
2. Pitch up, gently, at 130 m/s, take off after clearing runway.
3. Stay at 10° pitch up, if unwanted roll rocking occur then toggle roll control to inner flaps.
4. Once jets can not longer accelerate the spaceplane beyond 20 km altitude, start rocket engine (stage)
6. Once jets give out turn them off as well as close intakes
5. Once projected apogee exceeds 77 km, turn off rocket engines and enter prograde flight, apogee will rise slightly due to wing lift.
6. Circulirze orbit at apogee.

Landing Procedure
- Assuming no cargo from 80 km orbit to land at KSP
1. At antipole from KSP reduce perigee to 10 km
2. Enter atmosphere at 10° pitch up
3. Move residual fuel from forward or rear tanks as needed to so that trim is neutral.
4. If undershooting used jets below 20 km altitude, if overshooting pitch up to aerobrake faster. If more roll control is needed toggle roll control to outer flaps.
5. Land on runway below 150 m/s, use air brakes if needed. Land as level as possible to avoid bouncing.
6. Once wheels touch the runway open parachutes (stage) and brakes to stop.

A stock aircraft called Xylan 17. Built with 121 of the finest parts, its root part is adapterMk3-Size2.

Built in the SPH in KSP version 1.12.5.
