K380/900 MAX :: 4 is the Charm - Prologue
The Report
Lieutenant Froing _ Well, not exactly KSC, sir. Kerbal Aircraft Expansioneers are behind this one, KSC is helping on development...
Colonel Seangan _ KSC and KAX together sounds as good as Trinitro and Toluene... Not exactly reassuring... KAX is also developing airliners nowadays, right? So I'm presuming you are talking about a new airliner?
Lieutenant Froing _ Yes sir. A hell of an airliner. 1056 PAX, 20k litters of cargo space. A monster with 650tons dry weight, 151m for wing span and 129m foot length. And autonomy to circumnavigate Kerbin almost a time and a half at very least, probably twice with some more drop tanks.
Colonel Seangan _ Lieutenant, am I missing something? Had I mentioned a tiny little detail about a tiny little piece of compacted dirty INTEL dared to call an airstrip on a COP** in the middle of the hottest combat zone on Kerbin today? And had you mentioned "drop tanks" on an airliner??
Seangan sounded annoyed, but in reality he's more puzzled than anything. Lieutenant Froing is no fool, he would not be reporting a prank.
Lieutenant Froing _ Well, sir... This assessment is accurate, but incomplete...
Froing is trying hard to suppress a smile and look serious.
