AKA FAT-455
In Kermansky Kerman’s own words MAKE THE WHOLE THING OUTTA FAT WINGS.
It was compromised that only the wings would be made using them because, we don’t care what the bulk discount was on FAT wings, we wanted this thing to actually fly…

Details
- Type: SPH
- Class: aircraft
- Part Count: 207
- Pure Stock
Pre-Flight Check
You may have to bind your own action groups for flaps and spoilers in the SPH before launching, as sometimes (always?) they do not translate when downloaded from KerbalX. Use the FLAPS Diagram to check Flaps before take-off.
Flaps 3 should deploy Down (AG3)
Flaps 4 should deploy UP (AG4)
Speed Brake/Spoilers should deploy up when braking (B) wheel brakes will also trigger simultaneously
Take-Off
Upon completing the Pre-Flight check, you may now proceed to take-off.
-Set SAS Off
-Deploy Flaps 3 (AG3)
-Deploy Flaps 4 (AG4)
-Toggle Engine On (AG1)
-Set Full Throttle (Z)
V1 Speed is 60m/s (abort take-off now unsafe)
VR Speed is 80-90m/s Pull back lightly
-Establish Positive Rate
-Gear Up (G)
V2 Speed is 100m/s
Retract Flaps 4 above 115m/s (AG4)
Retract Flaps 3 above 135m/s (AG3)
Flight
This craft can transport up to 140 Executive passengers for HOURS with a huge fuel capacity, as well as act as a Zero-G Simulator with it’s wide open interior (use your imagination)
-Fly with Flaps 3 below 135m/s
-Fly with Flaps 3 AND 4 below 115m/s
-Cruise Altitude is 3000-7000m (10,000-23,000ft)
-Cruise Speed is 250m/s
-Do NOT exceed 12gs during flight, severe damage will insue
-Max Speed Recorded in level flight 343m/s
Landing
Landing this monster will really test your grit and is very fun and exciting if I do say so myself. Though it is possible to man-handle the plane and land it in grand Jeb fashion (see last GIF) it is recommended to land with the following procedure.
-Approach Runway straight on and at reasonable speed below 160m/s
-Deploy Flaps 3 AND 4 to help slow aircraft
-Use Speed Brake to slow if needed (B)
-Gear Down
-Set Throttle (AS NEEDED) to maintain about 100m/s
-Touchdown SOFTLY between 75-110m/s
-Toggle Reverse Thrusters (AG2)
-Apply Brakes/Spoilers (Press B)
-Come to full stop
-Activate APU for ground power if needed (AG5)
This is a STOCK+
Craft. I cannot, and will not create a STOCK
Version. Thank you for your understanding
