Lastotjka (Ласточка) -class strategical bomber

Soviet thermonuclear space bomber from 1991.
Features:
- Thermonuclear drive for atmospheric travel
- Experimental combined ion drive for even more efficient interplanetary travel (works bad in the atmosphere at low altitudes). Has variable ISP capabilities.
- Variable forward swept wing structure
- Cargo bay
- Two docking ports, front and back

Keys:
0 - Close Wings
9 - Open wings (or the opposite, u have to try. to pause while opening, press close wings once and the other way around)
1 - Toggle thermonuclear drive (active by default)
2 - Toggle experimental ion/thermonuclear drive (inactive by default)
C - Toggle atmospheric/interstellar gas collectors (interstellar gas -collectors does not work while engines are active, inactive by default)
G - Toggle gears
B - Toggle wheelbrake (off by default)
D - Toggle cargo bay doors
S - Toggle front docking port shield
And don't forget the Ins/Del trim function! (because I animated it now, so you have to look at it ))) )

You should be able achieve orbit either if you reduce the amount of fuel (use it or just pump it out) or if you keep accelerating through the atmosphere while collecting gas until you reach orbital velocity.
 
My first add-on, still getting familiarized with the orbithangar

What is new in this version:
-Turning nose wheel
- Better textures and 3D visuals
- Animated external "ion-drive flaps"
- Updated airfoils and engine stats + animations for trim
- variable ISP-capabilities for the combined ion/thermonuclear drive

This work is entirely fictional, but should someone feel offended by anything in this add-on (like the grafitti on the roof), tell me and I'll remove it right away.
