Proof of concept for an ultrasonic interceptor which utilizes only structural wings in conjunction with rotators for all control and lifting surfaces. The result is an indestructable ultrasonic beast of a plane (30k ft plus)
Can easily land at 100mph, takeoff speed of approx 170mph. Max Speed over 4000mph.
Detach 1 before takeoff. I recommend 1-2% throttle for takeoff until a suitable altitude has been reached to 'open her up'
Enjoy, and please give credit if you use this as a base design!

14.0k ElijtheGeatreally cool, I've started using canards too, as you said in the comments, they're basically indestructible whereas normal control surfaces pop off quite frequently9.5 years ago

509 NetherealThanks! It was a proof of concept to try building something only using structural wings/rotators. Turned out to be indestructable (in air). It flies like a charm at ultrasonic speeds9.6 years ago
