Auto Credit Based on Insertname's ITMC Citadel

This wonderful little liquid fueled rocket is the next step in commercializing low orbit flights! Take off at very low throttle. Once off the ground, slowly throttle up to 100% and pitch up to 90 degrees. Climb to 150,000 feet and throttle off. From there, VTOL down to configure the aircraft for decent. Once your airspeed is below 300 and you have decended to more oxygen-rich altitude, center the VTOL slider and maintain throttle at just below 1% for a landing speed around 150-155 mph. Hope you guys like it! Cheers!-Jim

Special thanks to oDDDity for the engine power scaling!

    Thanks! It's somewhat inspired by the SpaceShipTwo vehicle! I can't take full credit. I wanted to see if the concept would work in SP...and I did! Mostly lol@Treadmill103

    Large control surfaces close to the center of mass. Also the aircraft is relatively lightweight compared to its power@rjt9906
