The Nimbus SSTO is a twin-cockpit, single stage to orbit, hypersonic spaceplane; the next-generation successor to the space shuttle. Although it was designed for the purpose of orbital transport, its ceramic heat shields and thrust-vectored maneuverability make the Nimbus SSTO an excellent starfighter/interceptor if it is outfitted with weapons.

    This is one of the coolest looking aircraft I’ve seen on SP for a little while. If you added more wing area it would fly better but it sure does look great now!
