My first attempt at making a high altitude aircraft, I've managed to climb up above 120,000 feet (upper stratosphere, above the ozone layer) before going into a plunge. I'll probably be improving on the design to keep going higher and higher, only rule being I can't change the physics properties of any of the parts.
