[0.16 STOCK] X-52a Supersonic Jet Aircraft

[seannybgoode]

Introducing the X-52a, the latest in Kerbal Aerospace innovation.

Maximum Speed: Mach 1.8

Service Ceiling: 55,000 ft. (16,500 meters)

With the avionics package activated, this supersonic beauty flies like a dream. Easy to land on the runway back at the space center and good on fuel. Although I do recommend a flightstick.

Note: I do have my jet fuel capacity cranked up on my version of KSP, because I feel the game burns jet fuel way way too fast. This will affect your range, but every thing else will work as advertised.

Basic flight instructions:

1. Throttle down, activate your primary airbreathing jet engine.

2. Activate the avionics package (SAS)

3. Throttle up to max

4. Pull up gently to take off.

To reach supersonic speeds:

1. Climb to altitude and activate the turbojet engines.

2. Climb to 14500 meters and maintain altitude and heading.

3. Speed should max out around 620 m/s, but it's possible to get her up to 633 m/s
