#Me262

Description

This early prototype jet isn’t very fast or high-flying compared to later, more advanced jet aircraft, but it flies well enough and its extensive flaps give it gratifyingly low takeoff and landing speeds.

A stock aircraft called Keibler 26. Built with 58 of the finest parts, its root part is Mark2Cockpit.

My KSP recreation of the pioneering Messerschmitt Me 262 A-1a late-WWII German fighter jet. The Me 262’s rounded-triangular-cross-section fuselage was tricky to recreate; I eventually managed by node-attaching the Mk2-to-Mk1 adapters to either end of the cockpit, offsetting them downwards somewhat and then towards each other until they met, and using surface-attached nosecones to fair off the exposed flat ends of the cockpit.

Built in the SPH in KSP version 1.10.1.

Note that what appear to be two engines are actually four; the Junos don’t have enough thrust for the job with just two of them. I offset the second set into the first until they overlapped exactly, then moved them one pixel outboard and down to eliminate the ugly z-fighting that occurs when the surfaces of two separate parts coincide exactly.
