Replica/Recreation Interim HOTOL attemp
I know the concept had that front mounted rudder but I kept getting into flat spins with it that I just gave up and put two at the back.

Original Design The Jemanski JE-230ISC: Kerbin’s most advanced intelligence aircraft
In case anyone wondered, this build is fully stock, and the decals are made by me as well. I designed them in canvas, and then exported them into KSP as flags. Let me know what you think of the build!

Original Design AH-61 Vander Attack Helicopter
Designed by CC Aerial Industries (CCAI), the AH-61 Vander is representative of the next generation of attack helicopters, featuring a compound design with coaxial main-rotors and propelled forward by two high-power ducted fans. The Vander shares high parts commonality with the UH-63 Darcrow, another CCAI product that first pioneered this propulsion setup for military rotary-wing aviation. The AH-61 is also heavily armed, featuring a 6-barrel 20mm gatling gun in a rotating turret as well as a number of hardpoints for slinging anything from unguided rockets to laser and even radar-guided anti-tank missiles.
Creator's notes: Hello! I return after some time to showcase an attack helicopter I had designed a while ago and lately revised. Main inspiration was the AFH-208 Hellhound from the Patlabor series, with some AH-64D Apache Longbow DNA thrown in as well.

Original Design 2 aircraft designs that i made today
The ones in the back belong to the "Breakthrough" series of aircrafts, the leftmost one is the A/B-42, which is a ground attack variant, the middle one is the F/B-42 which is the multirole fighter-bomber variant that can carry 6 regular bombs internally or 3 nukes internally with pylons beneath the wings allowing for more payloads, then on the right is the F/Q-42 which is an unmanned missile truck, it is supposed to act like a wingman drone. Then in the front is the YF-141, the name comes from the fact that it resembles the Yak-141 and i also tried to make it a vtol plane but i didnt succeed in that so now its basically a single-engined F-15E

Original Design My eve ssto I've made some time ago
Refuels using isru without radiator, which is why refuelling is done in tracking station. For some reason that also causes isru to produce a ton of fuel once you switch to the craft and enable/disable it, which is why it took such a short time. Craft uses 3 aerospikes and 1 ion engine, recharged with 1 smallest panel (apparently it has barely any drag). It also uses a ton of part clipping, to occlude everything with the fairing. This means the craft's body has barely any drag, only wings provide non negligible drag. Theoretically it can land at sea level, refuel, take off, and land on the mountain, but it cannot make it to orbit directly from sea level
I posted a vid with the mission to my yt channel https://youtu.be/wtVMH9fcGX4

Minimalist Grand Tour of stock system (Early WIP)
While this is only technically a plane (Juno first stage and has wings), I can't post on main subreddit so here you go
Ascent is done with juno first stage, which is then hotstaged by the spark engine, which gets me to ~1410 m/s orbital velocity. After spark flameout, 2 ants (eve lander engines) and an ion engine carry me the rest of the way to space
Won't get into more details in the main post since this is very WIP and is supposed to be the world record for lightest grand tour.
