(I tried to make a MiG-25) The Comet is an ultra-fast jet fighter,which is also extremely heavy. Not very maneuverable at all, but it certainly is fast. The engines have MASSIVE afterburnerrs allowing it to reach altitudes of 120,000ft! At those high altitudes, air is thin, so it has a reaction control nozzle system to help keep it in your hands. However, due to the excess weight of the engines, it has a takeoff speed of a whopping 260mph!

What I meant by the "realistically" tag is that this plane flies as if it were a real mach-3 aircraft. SimplePlanes allows for the creation of aircraft with INSANE power-weight ratios with no consequence such as fragility. A real life mach-3 plane would need to be quite strong, and thus heavy, in order to survive the hostile environment of those speeds.
