CW Space Shuttle "Extremus"

9,306 YTho  8.1 years ago

As promised, I have created a space shuttle used by CW Technologies similar to the NASA program. Space shuttles are rocketed into space to carry out a variety of missions, whether it be analysis, maintenance, or exploration. When the mission is finished, the shuttle re-enters Earth's atmosphere and glides to its intended landing location.

1+vtol (works cargo bay)
2 (ejects satellite from cargo hold)
3 (open parachutes of satellite after release)
7 (landing deceleration parachutes)

Recommended takeoff at 80%+ throttle. It will take more than the runway to get up, don't panic! Trim almost 100% down on slider for takeoff and flight. Approach the landing strip at 0-20% throttle and glide in nice and smooth.If someone is able to add more fuel and still make it flyable, let me know! As always, thanks for everybody's support and feel free to upvote and/or spotlight!

PS, I also posted a Boeing 747-100 launch plane, so check it out!
