Solent XS-1

Well I just basically wanted to make something like this, so idk

The XS-1

This is a prototype for a future lineup of supersonic Airliners and business jets, and is supposed to test out the aerodynamic and structural quirks of this type of design.


Performance

1G Stall Speed: 225 Km/h (121 knots)
Stall AoA: 24 degrees
Max Speed: Mach 2.6
Max Altitude: didn't bother testing


Parts I "borrowed" from other planes

  • The artificial horizon is from @GuianLorenzo 's LearJet 75

VR

I don't have a way of testing if my planes are VR-compatible, but I tried following as many of the curation criteria as I could.


Additional Notes

  • If it flies weirdly on a keyboard (which i almost expect here), please just say it in the comments, because I use a Logitech flight yoke and like all of by other recent builds it's mostly optimised for a Joystick or mouse yoke.
