Welcome to the new age of unmodded high-altitude Aircraft, gentlemen.
Bluejay Aerodynamics is proud to present the SR/F-17, an aircraft built from the ground up as an interceptor, but becoming one of the fastest aircraft I've personally seen.
With the ability to travel from New York to San Francisco in less then an hour, this unassuming beast of a specialty jet is the fastest B.A. has produced, using no mods, or tools of any kind to artificially boost the engines, we've deployed one of the fastest planes ever built by man.
With this initial revealing, there are no weapons, or extra baubles. Only pure speed. Instead, we invite others to use this as a frame to work off of, to achieve untold reaches in flight advancement.
Have fun, Pilots, and remember, fly safe!

Does SR stand for set servailence reconnaissance? Nice plane, fun to fly, and great job with the Engines!
@TheBlueRobotProduct maybe you can try to reduce the drag and the weight be cause i noticed that actually FX-09 B (wich I will upload tommorow ) can go at 1005 mph at sea level (100 feet) and it has only one engine (no xml editing at all) and yours was going at 965 mph maybe you should take a look at it when I'll upload it so somehow you can improve your designs and figure out something I didn't beause I really have no clue of how your design wich weight only 80% more than my design and have one more engine could go slower than mine
It should be faster no?
@TheBlueRobotProduct You're welcome ;p
@Adrian83 Thanks! And yeah, it's not really meant for sea-level. High-altitude best altitude and all that. The successor will be built for mach 3+ both at sea-level and at high alt, though. As for the structural and COM aspects, I'll keep those in mind. I suppose a good fix for this craft at the moment is to just grab the nosecone and add some weight to it if you don't mind the extra baggage. I just wanted to cut back on weight as much as possible while still keeping a relatively stable COM. This is my initial, fully functioning design for the moment. I suppose a second combat variant will be coming out sometime as well, so I'll be sure to make it more suitable for low-alt engagement.
Anyhows, thanks, and happy flying!
Also if you want to reach twice your actual speed i stongly recomand to use structural wings for some parts also try either to move the CoM forward or move the CoL backward so it doesn't do weirds things at low speeds or at takeoffs
Slightly uncontrolable on take-off and your speed of 2700 mph is reached on high altitude not a sea level ;p
If anyone has any issues with the plane, please post here! I'm already starting work on a successor meant to go Mach 4! Any criticism or tips would be appreciated!
