Design process: Ok, originally I had a completely different layout to this. I wanted to create a tail less design with a different engine layout. I have the piece of paper with my drawings on it somewhere, but originally, I planned on having an under fuselage air intake with shock cones. This I deemed unreasonably unrealistic, which would blow the aircraft into bits, alone with fuel consumption being insane.

Role was to be, in effect, an SR-71 competitor, which would fly over bases such as Rammstein in Germany, or really any NATO base. This aircraft wouldn't be stealthy, and a bit slower than the SR-71, but have countermeasures and would only occasionally fly over the United States.

CONTROLS:
Max Speed: 2500 miles per hour (Mach 3.1)
Max Alt: 100,000 FT
Cruising speed: 1600 miles per hou (Mach 2)
Cruising Alt: 70,000 Ft
Takeoff:250 miles per hour

AG1: CANOPY
AG6: REFUEL
AG7: PARACHUTE

NOTE: in game instructions says lights, that was a mistake, I wanted internal lights but no volumetric lighting means I couldn't do that.

CREDITS:
Shock cone code: griges
Variable afterburner (multistage afterburner): griges
Time based delay code: u/ShiraLillith
Soviet Rondel: NicoArcBubbles
