INSTRUCTIONS
Cam 1: Cockpit View
Group 1: Rocket Ignition
TIP: Use the powerful jet engine to ascend to over 100,000 feet before activating rockets. Missiles don't require air, so while oxygen-hungry combustion engines begin to lose power at high altitude, missiles will just be able to push the craft at faster speeds in response to decreased drag.
A space plane designed to rise into the atmosphere using a turbojet engine, then accelerate to orbital velocity with four missile-powered thrusters. Unfortunately, high-altitude testing has revealed that the atmosphere stretches up infinitely into the abyss, so this plane will sadly remain restricted by the limitations imposed by drag, and will never reach orbit.
