Description

A stock aircraft called Junipper SP² 1.3. Built with 52 of the finest parts, its root part is Mark2Cockpit.

Built in the SPH in KSP version 1.3.0.

Some story :

This plane was designed to be sent for a Laythe colonisation program. It has 45 minutes of autonomy with a cruising speed of 450 m/s on kerbin and 400 m/s on Laythe.
This plane is equiped with experiments bays, and a probe core to fly everywhere to colect data from other probes on Laythe.

It was adapted to take off and land in a really short distance, to jump from biome to biome in a short time, and to be as flexible as possible.
It was designed to perform a sea landing, but it’s not the most effective. The pilot must be very well trained to do such a manoever or the frontal intake may be destroyed.

Now on Kerbin :

The Junipper was also adapted as a long range supersonic science carrier plane. It is even more flexible on Kerbin than on Laythe because of its huge intakes that can catch air really high in the atmosphere. A prototype was even designed with a Panther engine. It still can land on sea but it’s even harder than on Laythe. That’s why two drag parachutes have been added for the new pilots who don’t know already how to land like a pro.
