The X-62 is a fictional experimental plane designed by the USAF. It was designed to be dropped in orbit and then piloted back down, collecting important re-entry data along the way. Being an experimental plane it had some flaws, like its tendency to pitch up and the fact it had no landing gear. Happy flying

Normal flight controls, no other fancy bells and whistles.
