Skylon D1

1,683 rocketbootkid  9.0 years ago

SABRE-engined spaceplane. Due to the lack of advanced propulsion in the game - it's SimplePlanes after all - I've used 8 turbofans instead of 2 turbo-scramjet-rockets. Low drag but only just over Mach 1.

    @Titansteam I haven't messed with mods yet. Maybe now is the time.

    Maybe you could try putting the modded engines from the SR-71!
