IPV “ZEPHYR”

Hopefully, ZEPHYR will be able to depart to Sarnus tomorrow if all things are on schedule, and the two Savoship V2s plus the ISRU unit are delivered and docked on time.

Unassorted gallery aircraft of my own design

Image captions have extra info. As for the vehicles mentioned;

Firework: Supermaneuverable multi-duty fighter jet capable of either pulling 60+Gz at a whim, or going 1,400m/s at 20km.

Hitchhiker: General-duty plane meant to be able to land anywhere. It can certainly do that, though taking off is another bet.

Windslicer: The crown jewel of the fleet. 48 passenger seats and a capability of Mach 2 at 5km. Perfect for either point-to-point, or long-distance travel. Available with optional droptanks.

VINDICATOR: Autonomous quadcopter, which has completed flight testing and is destined to fly on the atmosphered moon of Tekto in the Sarnus system at some point soon.

Tuna: Recreation of an old craft from my console days. Nothing special here.

Prowler: Experimental VTOL aircraft, initially built to test the nuances of VTOL design, and was quite successful.

Unnamed fighter jet with the two Panther engines: Basically a precursor to the Firework.

Savoship V2 XYZ diagrams and another thing

As some extra data,

X = the nose, and forwards.

-X = the engines, and the tail.

Z = windward side of ship, and the heatshield.

-Z = the leeward side of ship, where the S.H.E.B.A.N.G system is attached.

Y = starboard side.

-Y = port side.

As for the last image, it's (somewhat poorly) describing the mechanics of the yaw-powerslide maneuver, or, more formerly, the Dynamic Glide Phase Axes Vectoring (DGPAV) maneuver. Ship rotates 45 degrees clockwise, yaws to the right. 45 degrees counterclockwise, yaws to the left. That is the gist of it.

Savoship V2, experimental glide phase "yaw powerslide" maneuver in both directions

Possibly the most badass thing I've done so far in KSP unironically, like, yeah, landing a 70 meter booster is COOL, but this just takes the cake. Savoship V1 genuinely could never do this at ALL

Also don't mind the music I was just rocking here tbh

uhh yeah here's mine and stuff (trend)

Hirochi CCF "Sky Sparrow" photoshoot

Small little photoshoot of the exterior and interior of my latest custom build in Beam, the "Sky Sparrow" based off the CCF2 with a top speed of 129mph in initial test runs.

I'd probably call these screenshots just midrange tbh, cause I can take better screenshots

so, about booster 19…

do we have any info or consensus on what caused B19 to fail the boostback burn, or why it flipped in the wrong direction?

Screenshots so far from the launch (T+45 minutes in as of posting)

Alright, so uh, HOLY FUCK THAT LAUNCH WAS INSANE

And holy shit they actually were going for a 33-engine boostback burn that's fucking insane. Rest in peace booster 19, you did well mate

First time a ship has gotten to SECO with an engine out, so insane on the redundancy aspect which is great

There WAS some damage on the ground, though.

Starship V3 compared to basically... everything, plus itself

NSF broadcasted this overlay on their IFT-12 stream a few minutes ago and I think it's a pretty neat comparison.

SCRUB

Damnit.

So, that was FIVE holds in a row, uh, wow SpaceX way to keep us on the edge of our seats.

2 minutes ago on the SpaceX X account,
"Standing down from today’s flight test"

Scrub better than RUD though

Edit: From Elon, he says-

“The hydraulic pin holding the tower arm in place did not retract.”

What are we thinking of the launch chances today for IFT-12

I'm optimistic we can light the candle today but the weather is looking a bit offputting, do y'all think today's gonna be the day or might it be scrubbed
