Auto Credit Based on Booster456's USAF CHALLENGE ((CLOSED))

The Rapier is an experimental supersonic (no matter hard I try it can only reach mach 1) interceptor designed for the U.S air force. It was cancelled in 1959 due to spiralling costs. It was powered by 2 General Electric YJ93 jet engines, although not much is actually known about the aircraft besides this.... So if there was a history part of the american challenge (the one I have entred) I just dungoofed. Enjoy it, it's unarmed, a little bit troublesome to fly, but it does have a custom set of landing gears! Thanks to Rony (again) for the cockpit. Cheers!

    I know @SimplePlaneCreations , this thing was so frustrating to build and to get to work! This is my first and probably last jet I can bother to make. ✈️

    Dang, I tried putting on modded engines for it to go Mach 2+ but the wings couldn't handle it
