More mobile friendly edit. To invert controls and navball, switch to the red "Reentry Command Chip" on the rear underside of the vehicle. The blue chip "Ascent Command Chip" is for non-inverted flight.
The InvertaSOAR is a breakthrough un-crewed spaceplane configuration that combines elements of waveriders and lifting bodies. This innovative vehicle features a lower half with a waverider geometry consisting of an inlet ramp, a dual-mode airbreathing propulsion system, and a shared single-expansion ramp nozzle. The upper half adopts a lifting body design with ogival delta wings shielded by ablative heat tiles and houses propellant tanks for rocket fuel.
By inverting during reentry, the InvertaSOAR exposes its heat shield, protecting the waverider section along with the propulsion system and landing gear. Equipped with the geometry for Synergetic Orbital Ascent and Reentry (SOAR), the InvertaSOAR showcases its unique capability to efficiently ascend to orbit and safely return to Earth.
