OI people of Earth ! Today I present you my new replica . The Me-163 "Komet" ! A WW2 German rocket interceptor who first flew in 1941 (dangit , they where totaly outclassing us in terms of technology) . The particularity of the plane is that , has I told earlier , it's a rocket plane , it doesn't use a jet engine (that's why it doesn't have any intakes IRL but I needed to put one here) ! Inovative ain't it ? But wait , that's not all ! Has you might have seen , it's also a flying wing of some sort since it doesn't have back elevator . They are integrated in the wings themself . It used less space but was making it way harder to pilot . It could reach a top speed of almost 960 km/h at 12 000 meters (max alt) for it's lattest versions . Pretty good ain't it ? Anyway , for more infos , I redirect you to the wikipedia page has always and have a good time with it !


AG8 / Deactivate jet only (useful for landings)

PS: It isn't an exact replica , I know but I didn't put much time in it (2 hours max) and I know it has a little bit of clipping on some parts but I did my best to limit that
