Per comments, engines required re-alignment, for visual looks not performance. Decreased fuel load, this pure delta jet is quicker & more agile. Credit to @stealthbomber for engines to test. 4,100 MPH at 90,000-150,000 feet. From the plane in "Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb" 1964 Stanley Kubrick movie.

    Thx @thelatentimage. - the base plane ia a simple B58 with new powerplants. So far, the wings stay on at hi speed provided I fly it above 90,000 feet; accidently reached 150,000 feet not by intention.

    I haven't seen the movie (though I've heard of it.) This is a good build buddy, super fast!

    @jacobhardy64 Yes there was an uneeded block in one of the engine nacelles. I deleted some fuel, so this version climbs much faster, enjoy!
