Artemis Class
These spaceplanes are the biggest of the bunch (so far), consisting of 3 Mk3 fuselages side-by-side, with the ability to carry an enormous amount of cargo/crew to many different interplanetary destinations.
- TheArchangelis the first of the Artemis line, and has the ability to easily go to Duna or Mun with 60 Kerbals, and pilots who have a good grasp of gravity assists will find further destinations, such as Eeloo, very possible as well!
Video- Mun mission
Video - Eeloo mission - TheArtemisis a monstrous spaceplane capable of carrying 124 kerbals to LKO with just over 4,000 m/s of DeltaV to spare. It can't fly quite as far as the Archangel, but it is quite capable of going to Laythe and back without refuelling.

Argus Class
These spaceplanes are big, brutal, and capable of interplanetary missions without breaking a sweat, independent of mining or refuelling.WARNING: You willneed to replace the landing gear on the Argus II and Engadinewith larger ones if you're playing in 1.1 or later. The Odyssey will work fine though.
- TheArguswas built as a Bop SSTO, but in the end was mainly used for Duna cargo missions and Eeloo voyages. It doesn't work so great in 1.05, and so is no longer sold by Spaceplane Innovations.
Video - Eeloo mission
Video - Duna mission - TheEngadinewas the hugely popular successor to theArgus, packing more DeltaV and a massive 20 Kerbal capacity. So far it has only been used for Mun landings, but we at Spaceplane Innovations believe it could easily be used for Duna returns too.
Video - TheArgus IIwas built following the success of theEngadine as an ultra-long-range SSTO. It has more m/s of DeltaV in LKO than any other SSTO produced by Spaceplane Innovations.
Video - TheOdysseywas built to replace the legendaryEngadine.doubling its crew capacity while retaining its high range. Duna and Gilly missions are well within its capabilities, as well as Eeloo and Jool for those who have mastered the fine art of gravity assists.
Video - Mun mission
Make no mistake: these planes are unruly, bulky, unbalanced and difficult to tame. They are therefore best suited to more adept pilots who understand gravity assists and how to efficiently ascend from Kerbin.They're hard to master, but for those with the patience to learn their functions the pay-off is huge.
Acacius Class
Acacius shipshave an IRSU on board and are capable of refuelling themselves using mining equipment. These are at the forefront of exploration, and are the best "single-stage-to-anywhere" planes we offer! Only one model is currently available for consumers: The Acacius 2 is the first SSTO produced by Spaceplane Innovations to feature the "Single Stage to Everywhere" guarantee. Doesn't do Tylo. Or Eve. Or Jool. These craft are ideal for beginners who want to get to grips with gravity assists or the Jool system, without having to worry about fuel.WARNING: You may need to replace the landing gear with larger ones if you're playing in 1.1 or later.
Dune Class
Before the Argusclass, there was the Dune class. The second oldest class of spaceplane made by Spaceplane innovations (after the discontinuedRevengeclass),these are lightweight, agile, and pack enough DeltaV for Duna, Minmus, Mun and Gilly. Flybys of planets further out are also possible.Dune 3is the latest and greatest in this class, sporting 3 seats and a cosy interior. These are moderately difficult to use, but experienced pilots shouldn't have too much trouble.WARNING: You may need to replace the landing gear with larger ones if you're playing in 1.1 or later.

Phantom Class
These SSTOs are the little-brothers of theArgus Class, and are slightly larger than theDuneclass. WARNING: You may need to replace the landing gear with larger ones if you're playing in 1.1 or later. With room for 6 kerbals, thePhantomclass is currently offers 3 models:
- The Minmus Traineris the easiest-to-use SSTO sold by Spaceplane Innovations, and was specifically designed to train budding kerbalnauts in the fine art of Minmus SSTO-ing. Only the instructions are available for purchase, so that pilots can also learn how to build an SSTO too!
Video (SSTO Tutorial) - The Mun Phantom was the firstPhantom ClassSSTO packing enough DeltaV for Mun and Gilly landings, in addition to being able to do Duna flybys.
Video - TheMun Phantom 2is a modified version of theDuna Phantom, packing a spacious cargo bay for all your rover carrying needs!
Video - The Duna Phantomis able to carry 6 kerbals to Duna and back, all in a sleek Mk2 fuselage!
Video
Video (SSTO Tutorial) - The Laythe Phantom is capable of taking 2 kerbals to Laythe and back without refuelling! Craft file has been altered so that it won't enter a flat spin when the fuel tanks are empty now

Vulture Class
These SSTOs are designed purely for LKO missions.
- Vulture 1 is the first publicly available model in the Vulture class, capable of carrying 6Kerbals comfortably to either a polar or equatorial orbit.
Matlon Laboratories
MatlonLaboratoriesis a new company, designing cutting-edge rockets, shuttles, stations, bases, rovers, and much more! SSTOs are still very-much exclusive to Spaceplane Innovations, but for anything else, Matlon has you covered!
- Brutusis a high-capacity Space Shuttle, and uses Solid Fuel boosters and 3 Vectoring engines to lift the orbiter into space. Played a key-role in the construction of the SkyBase Space Station, which was commissioned following the destruction of SpaceLab during the Duna Attacks strikes
Video - Sparrowis a seaplane packing every science experiment unit in the game, in addition to communications tech and a deployable mini-sub!
Video - Monolith Station aims to bring stations to the masses, being a space station capable of being fully assembled in 1 Launch
