Ever since BFR/SSH came to be, I was always intrigued by this particular design.
It's something about that Delta Wing that I couldn't get enough of.
So anyway, I built this with the crazy amount of free time most of us now have, and I think it came out decent.
The engines are pretty close in terms of Thrust to what was shown in the 2017 presentation, however the ISP is still really low. I don't know how to get it higher without affecting the Thrust.
Considering there's no counteracting Wing/Fin to balance put the Delta Wing, I had to improvise and adjust the Center of Mass by "hiding" the batteries, gyros, and some monoprop tanks inside the main fuel tank.
This craft is actually pretty easy to control during reentry if you've used approximately 4/5 of your fuel since this further lowers the Center of Mass of the ship to be somewhat behind the Delta Wing (i.e more balanced).
Now looking back at it, I think it looks pretty shitty but I hope you enjoy and feel free to improve on my design.
