Thr SCPC Albatross is a suborbital air-launched space plane, like Spaceship One and Spaceship Two (Virgin Galactic, real life)
Starting from a runway, begin pulling up at 150mph and VTOL down. Cruise to around 15k ft., then level out and AcG 1 to release space plane. Once released, pull up until you rise like a rocket. When fuel hits 3%, level out and prepare to glide back to Earth. Use airbrakesas as needed.
