This a superheavyweight evolution if the AirPiercer 4, with an additional 8 vtol engines and higher fuel capacity. This wing configuration makes pitch control far easier than in the preceding model. To achieve maximum speed, discard landing gear and ascend at 70 degrees, to 90k feet. Level out, and dive. I've achieved 1655 mph before low altitude drag caused deceleration. Do not turn suddenly, or canards will break off.
