@kenzieaw9058 Idk if that is possible, that is past kerbin escape velocity (mach 10 is 3430 m/s, kerbin escape velocity is around 3100 m/s) But the land speed record is 4000 m/s, so it may be possible with the perfect design & careful piloting
@@KerbalOnDres1I was grinding attempts when I got one that landed on the runway at around 660 m/s, went off the end of the runway, and safely came to a stop.
At low speeds you lose the nose's pitch a bit as you roll. That can be fixed by giving the canards some trim, rather than fully relying on SAS, which doesn't really work all that well.
Damn, that's some nice landing. Well done. If you added a forward light to aim at the ground, it would greatly help visually convey the distance to the ground - sadly the white ground didn't give the viewer any chance to see how close you actually were. If not for the altimeter in the top of the screen, I wouldn't even realize you were already touching the ground. But that's just a cosmetic thing, nothing to take away from the incredible achievement you just showcased.
@@funevidz4819 I believe that. Nevertheless I ended up always putting lights on the bottom of my landers or planes, anywhere I land, it's always better to see the lights.
For the majority of the slowdown, the I'm pretty sure the airbrakes (and natural air resistance of the craft) was doing the heavy lifting. Max Gs looked like probably right around 14-15 Gs
@@Charlie-js8rjI looked at the results screen after the recording, Max Gs were around 40, but after looking at the slowing down, it looks like about 14 Gs. And yes the most of the slowing down was done by the airbrakes.
Mach 3 next? 😃
Edit: Mach 2 runway landing coming soon
No go straight to mach 10 >:)

How far did you get in the Runway landing?
I spent damn near 3 months trying and no success.
You mean like a full stop landing?
It took me half an hour just for the aircraft to survive touching the ground.
Eager to see this.
Yes, on the north pole
I was inspired to make this video after watching yours.
@@funevidz4819 I'm still trying to do the Mach 2 full stop runway landing.
@@KerbalOnDres1 I will try it too

You have gained a competitor
You have been beaten
play danger zone over the top of this
nah, free bird
Omg this was nerve racking
If you'd have hit 1 pothole on that landing it would've been a very expensive 1 way trip to the north pole
In real life the wheels would've evaporated on first contact 😂
Now I know who to ask help me with landing my shuttle on other planets 😄

Next landing will be Mach 2 at the KSC runway so it will be easier to see.

Very nice test footage.
Glad you liked it!
I never realized how powerful the brakes were. Can you tell me what the max Gs was? In curious

@@Charlie-js8rj it only shows up to 15 Gs the actual number is in the results screen and i didnt even notice the airbrakes lol

Around 14 Gs
@@Charlie-js8rj ground friction did nothing??
Impressive. :)
how to you control the pitch so well
I had to lightly tap the keys (w & s) but SAS was on so it kept it stable
Or do caps lock
Nice
wow
