✈️ Maverick Signature X35B
A Lifting-Body Spaceplane Prototype
---
🚀 Overview
The Maverick Signature X35B is a next-generation lifting-body spacecraft designed by Maverick Aerospace. Built for simplicity, range, and reliability, it can take off from a runway, reach space, and glide back down for a smooth landing — all without the need for wings.
---
📊 Performance
• Total Range: ~120 km (depending on flight profile)
• Glide Range: ~40 km (from space down to runway)
• Engines: Twin liquid-fuel engines
• Flight Profile:
- Takeoff & Ascent: Point it in the direction you want to go and keep it there
- Cruise in Space: Once you reach space, it will keep cruising in that direction
- Descent & Landing: Trade speed and altitude with S-turns or circling maneuvers
- Touchdown: Glide it towards the runway and flare for a soft landing
Ideal profile: Steep ascent up to ~20 km, then gradually transition to horizontal flight to gain speed and maximize range.

🛠 Features
• Lifting-body design (no wings required)
• Digital cockpit with dual seating
• Cargo bay with crane for payload testing
• Heatshield-inspired paint scheme for added realism
• Stable handling even under heavy load

🚀 Flight Profile
• Stage 1 – Boosters: Provide thrust through the dense lower atmosphere.
• Stage 2 – Main Engines: Ignite immediately after booster burnout.
- Altitude at ignition varies depending on ascent profile.
- Run at max throttle until ~25–28 km altitude.
• Stage 3 – Momentum Carry: Cutoff near space threshold; coast on inertia to orbital altitude.
• Stage 4 – Reserve Burn: Use remaining fuel for orbital insertion or controlled re‑entry burn.
• Stage 5 – Reentry: Go Belly first into atmosphere
then down to horizon depending on gliding range needed
• Stage 6 – Descent and Landing: Perform Circles or S Turns for Range control and flare once over threshold to
perform a controlled and soft touchdown.
