this aircraft was created as a way to test high speed Mach 3 travel for a contrat,Operational Requirement 330, wich called for a Mach 3 reconaissance aircraft which became the Avro 730, but the Bristol 188 was the aircraft that tested faster than Mach 2 travel mainly studying the kinetic heating effects at Mach 3 since the aircraft was meant to trave at high speeds for a long time, though the Bristol 188 was somewhat of a disaster not only was it one of the most expensive aircraft projects in British history but it had poor engine efficency and it was unable to reach faster than Mach 2 and ultimaetly the whole program was scrapped, but all data gathered from the 188 program was used to help the Concorde program

@melojam I tested it and nothing happened, but I think it's becuase of Simple planes physics with wings where they're like jelly and it "collides" with the tail
@Dumpworks the tail of this thing breaks off every time i take off. why is this?
I figured that you would be the best person to ask to build a plane that nobody has made before: the Barling XNBL-1 bomber (Barling bomber). Good luck.
