"The Boeing X-37, also known as the Orbital Test Vehicle (OTV), is a reusable unmanned spacecraft. It is boosted into space by a launch vehicle, then re-enters Earth's atmosphere and lands as a spaceplane. The X-37 is operated by the United States Air Force for orbital spaceflight missions intended to demonstrate reusable space technologies." -Wikepedia.com.

Capable of reach over 400mph, it isn't the fastest vehicle ever and it is a bit nose heavy.

Another KEY thing to note is that I added a little undercarrige to allow it to take-off from the runway(detach press 1) and does not exsit in the real thing(I also added a little camrea to it so you can see its view off a take-off and the under carrige's fate.

I hope to improve this vehicle further so recommendations would be appreciated.
