My first concept, finally posted of a futuristic Flying Ray aircraft. 3,000 MPH @ 70,000 feet. CAUTION: you're doing 1,000+ mph as you leave the runway, so Turn Carefully below 20,000 feet. (Note: V1 submitted as the slower model to the futuristic challenge).

Thx, this is an oldie "sticks & stones block" build that exceeded expectations; is difficult to fly, but of course, fast. @LooperEpic

@Stingray yeah, it is super cool to fly. It belongs really high up in the air and it knows it, it goes straight for the sky at takeoff! Lol... but in an fitting manor. Nice work buddy.

Thanks, and yeah the nose rises too high only during takeoff; customized horizontal stabilizers control that. When high enough the fast engines kick-in and the flight becomes level @thelatentimage

It seems a little tail heavy at first. But once you get up to altitude and speed, it becomes quite balanced and stable. Nice build man, I like this.

Thanks @Nickasaurusrex - I intentionally moved the COL Way Forward after several flight tests (goes into a flat spin above 60,000 feet otherwise).

Note: @Ctracerx2 @thumseybomber I submitted a new, similar model to the Futuristic Challenge, which used only one modded part. This has several mods and double the speed as V1. FYI, you may still like this one as well.
