The Mk1 Fuselage is a round cylindrical fuselage part with a diameter of 1.25 meters. It contains only liquid fuel. It is not to be confused by the Structural Fuselage that cannot store fuel.
Description
| “ | A standard fuselage that carries fuel for spaceplanes. This one is chock-full of jet fuel. Not as resistant as it's counterparts, but jet fuel is more efficient than the other fuels, without mentioning lighter. — C7 Aerospace Division |

Comparisons
This is the least-efficient by weight of all the fuselages: its mass ratio is only 3.14, with all the others (as of version 0.20.2) have a ratio of 5. However, its impact tolerance of 20m/s is 3⅓ times greater than the 6m/s typical of rocket and RCS fuel tanks. With the introduction of tweakables, the oxidizer can be removed from rocket fuel tanks giving an even better fuel-to-weight ratio, but landings could subject craft to impact sufficient to break them which the Mk1 fuselage would survive.
Changes
- Dry mass increased from 0.3 to 0.35, fuel system changes reduced full mass from 1.2 to 1.1.
- Initial release
