A fast and agile jet, comparable to several others I've uploaded. Can fly level at 1200+ mph and dive at 1400+ mph.
It flies very well and is quite maneuverable, but I prioritized looks over performance, so it doesn't fly quite as fast as it otherwise might have. It does, however, have a nice, sleek appearance that has become my favorite among the planes I've made. I recommend customizing the color scheme, as I found the patterning to look nice in many different color combinations.
It works on low graphics but might occasionally break; either use medium, or, if you prefer low, simply change locations to another runway before taking off (I've found that this takes care of the problem). Hope you like it!

13.9k ABC123@kellyJ thanks again. If you're interested in a very different approach to the drag vs thrust issue, I would ask you to look at one of my least popular planes, "Pioneer". It weighs less than 6000 lbs has only one medium engine, but also has an abundance of intakes, which allows it go 1380 mph level at about 65k ft, and climb to over 130k ft. It's still many favorite plane, but no one else seemed to like it, so I never bothered to upload the updated versions I made.9.9 years ago

646 kellyJ@ABC123 Again this one is excellent, IMHO. The SP software limits you on drag vs thrust, little else. My own TU-123 Yastreb and X-4A models were kinda the ultimate test of this. Prefer what you've done here, keep it up!9.9 years ago

13.9k ABC123@kellyJ you're right, I've made faster ones with anywhere from 3-6 engines. This one would be faster without the fuselage wings and with an intake instead of the nosecone. Could also pitch quicker. But, I like the look, so it stayed this way. Thanks for your comment!9.9 years ago

646 kellyJ4 engines seems to create similar speeds on SimplePlanes. Flight might smooth out with smaller tails, less pitch.9.9 years ago

13.9k ABC123@Zing2000 Thanks, that's very kind of you, but I'm not sure that I deserve such confidence. You might as well try it first, you might not like it after all! :)9.9 years ago
