Auto Credit Based on Stingray's Boeing X-32 Naval Mission

Added hypersonic nose & doubled fuel load. Normal runway takeoff, gear up. Easy 3,000+ mph at 90,000 feet, with 70% fuel remaining. As fuel depletes, climb higher as the Dynosaur gets lighter!

    @Stingray Just looked it up, it does look familiar, I remember seeing this somewhere, possible a SCI-FI magazine, but it looks to have reached real development stage, great stuff for bringing this out

    @hypnotoad Thx, there's little published about the Dynosaur, but I encountered a scaled mockup in my past journeys.

    BTW all, the Dynosaur is a real USAF design - but was unmanned.

    Thx @Shadowscythe This requires patience to control at high altitude, but the build remains intact at any SP speed. I'm building larger, more stable hypersonic vehicles, just watch for new posts.
