The Boeing X-51 Waverider is an unmanned research scramjet experimental aircraft for hypersonic flight at Mach 5

I could get enough documents about this plane, so I assumed that there would any control surface, because any manevure at that speeds would likely kill the pilot. But still added pitch contorl surface

This plane was ment to be launched from a cargo plane like a missile but this would'nt be possiblie in simple planes. So instead just load this aircraft at a final approach location like wright final approach or yeager
