Banshee Hypersonic Heavy Bomber

[Lord Aurelius]

So after seeing some of the crazy stuff Gag09 came up with in his thread, I was inspired to build this:

As you can see, it uses Panther engines which give it great maneuverability for such a large aircraft and the afterburners give it a TWR > 1 on takeoff (without ordinance anyways).

You may be wondering why there's a cargo bay at the front. The idea is to fill it with missile/gun racks so you can close it off when doing hypersonic speeds.

The next step is to fill that bay full of ordinance.

Here's the craft file for anyone who wants to give it a go. It's completely stock, although I did use Kerbal Joint Reinforcement to keep the part count down so you may need to add some extra struts to keep it from wobbling around.

I am glad i was an inspiration for you.
