Republic XF-103 Beta

50.4k Stingray  8.4 years ago

Mach 5 replica. All cockpit credit to @ronyseptian17 . The cold-war Republic XF-103 was designed to exceed Mach 3 using an in-line ramjet. The pilot had to climb in to the cockpit from beneath the aircraft. ACT=1 engages the ramjet on this replica model. Speed 4,400+ mph possible at 29,000 feet. (Use pitch trim for attitude.)

    Thx! (I pulled apart "rony's" cockpit from your post, deleted the throttle bar, and built the remainder from scratch.) This is the slowest of 2 versions I built, it was the easiest to fly. @KerlonceauxIndustries
