A rare treat to let you know I'm not dead. I had some time to kill in my otherwise very busy life, and decided to build an idea I had in my head for a little while.

This concept is a supersonic private jet. The plane's speed is made possible by the fact it is mostly engine. A single very powerful afterburning turbofan to be exact. The plane's small size reduces its drag profile, and the special fuselage shape better facilitates supersonic efficiency.

50% throttle is the standard cruise setting, and the recommended takeoff power. 51% and above is afterburner, for when you want to move very quickly.
At takeoff, rotate around 250 mph. Set trim for stability once aloft. Recommended cruise altitude is 30,000 ft. Supercruise can be obtained with as little as 40% throttle. At full throttle, max speed approaches mach 2. The plane is very forgiving on approach, and should land nicely so long as you don't let speed drift below 200 mph on final. Parachutes can be deployed with 7 to aid in braking.

The plane's only negative points are a limited maneuverability, and a tendency to enter spins with aggressive movements. Parachutes can be used to recover from a spin.

Lastly, press 1 to activate the lights.
