Maverick - Signature X35B - Lifting Body Design
[b]✈️ Maverick Signature X35B[/b]
[i]A Lifting-Body Spaceplane Prototype[/i]
---
[b]🚀 Overview[/b]
The [b]Maverick Signature X35B[/b] 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.
---
[b]📊 Performance[/b]
• [b]Total Range:[/b] ~120 km (depending on flight profile)
• [b]Glide Range:[/b] ~40 km (from space down to runway)
• [b]Engines:[/b] Twin liquid-fuel engines
• [b]Flight Profile:[/b]
- [b]Takeoff & Ascent:[/b] Point it in the direction you want to go and keep it there
- [b]Cruise in Space:[/b] Once you reach space, it will keep cruising in that direction
- [b]Descent & Landing:[/b] Trade speed and altitude with S-turns or circling maneuvers
- [b]Touchdown:[/b] Glide it towards the runway and flare for a soft landing
[i]Ideal profile: Steep ascent up to ~20 km, then gradually transition to horizontal flight to gain speed and maximize range.[/i]

[b]🛠 Features[/b]
• 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

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

[b]🎯 Role & Use[/b]
The X35B is ideal for:
• Space-to-surface test flights
• Atmospheric re-entry practice
• Prototype lifting-body research
• Maverick Aerospace’s flagship demonstration craft
---
[b]📦 Cargo Operations[/b]
The X35B’s cargo room is equipped with a [b]fully functional crane[/b], allowing you to load, unload, and reposition payloads with ease. Perfect for satellite deployment tests, supply drops, or experimental mission modules.

[b]🏷 Notes[/b]
• This is a [i]prototype[/i] design — future winged variants may follow.
• Optimized for smooth handling and predictable glide performance.
