QueSST NASA Supersonic Transport

13.7k OrionAstronaut  8.7 years ago

This plane is based on NASA'S recent design of a quiet supersonic transport called QueSST (Quiet Supersonic Transport), which will lead to an a new era of aviation. For more info, check out www.nasa.gov. This plane is fast, manuverable, and fun to fly. Just make sure to watch out for your fuel level when traveling long distances. It includes a pair of airbrakes for the people who don't want to feel the NEED FOR SPEED, or the people who just want to make a safe landing. This is my third plane I have built, but the first one that I have uploaded. FLY WITH SPEED!
