K380/900 MAX :: The 3rd Flight

Previously, on Kerbal Aircraft Expansioneers...

Prologue

This episode shows the events from the Sep 19th episode, already hinted at Set 24th.

TL;DR:

After the tragic events from the (attempted) Maiden Flight of the 1st Prototype, Bill was summoned to salvage the project - well, not exactly, but he saved it anyway.

The 2nd Prototype takeoff was uneventful. Or as the most uneventful a BACC assisted takeoff of a 1000 PAX Super Jumbo can be! But unfortunately, after a long journey around Kerbin where the airplane's endurance was put to a test, the landing was... Less than ideal.

Nothing that Bill and the Engineering Team could not nail after a few long nights of hacking, slashing, soldering and hammering while ingesting an impressive amount of caffeinated beverages.

Since building something new is always easier than fixing the older, sooner than later the 3rd Prototype was taking off from KSC.
