Description
This is a replica of an Air Force abandonned project of a spaceplane nammed the X-20 Dyna-Soar.
The plane is in a orbital configuration, that means it is mounted on the top of a Titan III-C launcher.
One Tank of the First Stage is empty because the LR-87 engine (kerbalized) needs to have a decent TWR after the boosters separation.
The plane has a juno engine to help it fly after the reentry but nevertheless it doesn’t have a good lifting surface to fly well so it’s hard to land on the runaway.
I made the decision to keep it that way to respect the original design shape
I recommend to use the fairing built with the craft for an easier launch.
