The Glass Slipper

101k Kerbango  1.5 years ago

I usually do not upload my research, but this was just too cool to not upload.
I originally was going to build the "Popemobile" which has bulletproof glass surrounding the Pope.
I honestly hadn't even got too far into the research, just testing to see if I could make bullet proof glass.
Yeah, I did.
Also there was a very significant side-effect.

During the course of testing and fine tuning this vehicle, I was going to name this plane "Bootstrap" for obvious reasons. (You know, "Pick yourself up by your bootstraps." )
But I decided to name it "the Glass Slipper" because it just fit perfectly.

Flight instructions:

!!!! WARNING !!!!
Reduce your volume IRL!
FIRE GUNS!
Keep firing guns.
Use pitch, roll, trim and yaw.

And if ya want a story...
In a world where bullets are plentiful and fuel is scarce; the great militaries of the world combine their greatest offensive weapons with their greatest defense to create a mode of transportation that defies logic and reason.
