A totally normal-looking learjet with jet engines ONLY that has mostly-recoverable appendages for boosting it up into orbit, and RCS/OMS (maybe a Terrier for the OMS, puff engines are mad inefficient).</p><p>But once it re-enters, it shouldn't be distinguishable from a totally ordinary learjet once the RCS/OMS pods have jettisoned and parachuted down to the KSC. ;)</p><p>One of the difficulty is that while the mk2 parts are more heat-resistant and spacious (like a learjet), they don't <em>look</em> like a learjet, so I don't think I can use them. I'll have to stick with very BBQ-prone mk1 parts. But I do have one trick up my sleeve that I'll allow some rule-bending for: a single non-functional rcs port at the very nose of the plane to shield the cockpit from excess heat during reentry.</p><p>cc: <span class="h-card"><a href="https://polymaths.social/@amin" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>amin</span></a></span></p><p><a href="https://polymaths.social/tags/kerbal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Kerbal</span></a> <a href="https://polymaths.social/tags/spaceprogram" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SpaceProgram</span></a> <a href="https://polymaths.social/tags/ksp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>KSP</span></a></p>
