F17-358 A-O RAT Concorde-class Airblazer

A re-interpretation of a small drone with the ability to reach about 1km/s, this drone can ferry up to 2 Kerbals at about 1.5km/s.

While not efficient, this ship can skip off the atmosphere multiple times, while gaining speed with its engines on each pass. This means the name of the game is altitude and speed.

To fly:

1a. KSC: Press space and don't faint.

1b. Island runway: press 1 to taxi to a takeoff position, then press space. Make sure you're strapped into your seat and green paste won't be found on the inside.

1.5. Keep throttle at 100% for the remainder of the flight, unless action is needed.

2. Once up to speed, angle up at about 20deg and relax unless action is needed. The plane should reach up to 1,400m/s.

3. Once at this point, set SAS to prograde, and use the manual controls to help the SAS lock on.

4. Once the ship stops wobbling, cruise to apoapsis, and wait until the ship pitches down -10deg.

5. When the ship is at -20deg, set SAS to stability. You can either wait for the plane to land, or you can repeat from step 2.

6. To land, engage the Aerodynamically Integrated Retrograde Braking Robustly Armed Kinetic Extending System (Airbrakes) system until below 500m/s, deploy landing gear at 1km altitude and deploy parachutes at 5-20m altitude.
