X-16 'Keywinder'

0 Zelurpio  3.4 years ago

My fictional US Air force concept. After the USAF + NASA made the X-15, a few years later, the US military basically said "hey NASA, engineer us a new plane using the X-15's technologies but give it guns and make it super maneuverable, like a small hypersonic fighter jet." And then NASA said: "ok" I tried my best on the USAF symbol but it didnt turn out as good as i wanted, i hope you still enjoy the craft. Also, if you just give up, nose into your target and you will be satisfied. kaboom.
