For that quick overseas hop! 3,500 mph cruise @ 75,000 feet @ 25% power. However, Maneuvers - fighter jet type - at altitudes below 60,000 mph will have results I cannot predict. Enjoy a fast ride; cockpit view is recommended.

    Google "lifting body design" and the Space Shuttle will pop up. On SP using those chines simulates a lifting body, folks. (Notes: SR71 and F22 may not appear on Google, they should, the principle is the same.)

    Comments about full acceleration are correct, full thrust is only needed to achieve 60,000 feet. Reduce throttle at 75,000 feet to 25% and that "constant lift" from the chines keep you at 3,500 mph level cruise. @karlosdarkness @Zing2000

    Trouble is that under acceleration all she wants to do is nose up and up, I personally wouldn't want to fly in something you have zero control of for the first five minutes of a flight. I've uploaded a version that retains a similar wing but offers alternative control surfaces that don't get ripped off even at mach 3+ at 500ft.

    Thx, but I can make control surfaces detach easily at 2,000 mph and 10,000 feet on my tablets. Tested on 2 devices, all parts stay on plane when at 60,000+ feet per design. @ahappyape @Zing2000

    Sorry dude but all the surfaces still fly off - 2000mph and they're all gone.

    @karlosdarkness @ahappyape Here's the update, larger wings, chines instead of canards.
