# G42-200 Starliner

Flight Operations Manual and Pilots Handbook
For Orbiter 2010-p1
by Guilherme "Moach" Falanghe

## WELCOME ABOARD

The G42-200 is a state-of-the-art aircraft capable of accelerating out of the atmosphere and into low earth orbit - Categorized as a "SpacePlane", the G42 features airliner-like handling characteristics which makes it optimal for low-cost space travel and cargo lifting based on conventional or mildly adapted airfields at a fraction of the costs usually associated with space operations

Fitted with a set of two RT66 Turbo-Rocket Hybrid cycle jet engines, and the ground-breaking RAMCASTER ram/scramjet system, the G42 can reach orbital velocity by simply flying out of the atmosphere, ascending as an airplane relying on its wings for lift, ultimately firing its engines in pure-rocket mode for a final boost towards orbit

#### WORK-IN-PROGRESS R3 For ORBITER 2010

Thank you for downloading the G42-200 Starliner Addon For Orbiter 2010-p1 - bear in mind at all times, this is a work-in-progress release - and most features are yet incomplete and might even cause problems during play (bugs) - remember WIP is not beta - it's not even alpha, it's just, well... in-progress So i thank you in advance for your comprehension, and appreciate all and any feedback or suggestions you may have.

The Official place for discussing the ongoing work on the '42 is:
the G42-200 Starliner Project Thread in the Orbiter Forums

#### Note:

This addon is in WIP state - so much actually, that even this very handbook remains incomplete... be patient young padawan, all will come in its right time
