nimble jolt
have a cargo ship that needs to be a vtol, use jet engines in atmospheres, and also be able to work in a vaccum. The idea was to have the back engines for getting to orbit on kerbin or other planets, and have 4 wing units that swivel with engines for interplanetary and on moons. The swivel wing design doesnt work well and flops around, and idk what engines to use where. pls help me
it is part of my goal to create a minmus refueling station where crafts can refuel after leaving kerbin, low on fuel.
maybe for wings there could be a holder bearing thing that swivels freeley but provides support.

also whats a good engine to use for taking off of no atmosphere places
nuclear?

If your craft is light enough nuclear could work, or really any vacuum optimized engine like the aerospike or cheetah

is reliant good
bcs i have heavy craft
what is heaviest body that does not have atmosphere
am gonna try to lift off from there
and if it can it can lift off of any non atmosphere body in vtol

Tylo does

Very, expensive to get to Jool and even more so to land
Its close in size to Kerbin munis the atmosphere so landing gets very expensive

good news
reliant engines are pretty good
i think
whats gud engine for vaccum and ahs high thrust
bad news
wings are
f l o p
maybe wings should be stationary
and have engines on the end move
now that i think of it i just need my craft to go up for like 5 seconds
then the main engines go
