This is the C-70, a plane I built on Console, which I have just gotten around to translating to PC.

Basic stats:

Part count - 231

Top speed - 1500+ m/s

Takeoff speed - ~100 m/s

Crew - 1

Cost - ~320,000 funds

Mass - 322.46t

Propulsion - 29 Whiplash Engines

Features

The C-70 was built as a successor to the B-series of planes I built back in, 2022? or something like that. As such, it features a split rudder, which can be used as an airbrake during landings. This particular design is a departure from previous iterations, as this plane has the innovative feature of not smacking the bottom of the rudder into the ground every takeoff.

The flush cockpit design can, on certain occasions, be used as an ejector: the two cones forming a lifting body. Even with one, it's usually enough to pull away. Even with some incidents. the pilot can survive, as demonstrated by Val in a test model.

Even with these features, the plane has one last trick up it's sleeve - it can circumnavigate Kerbin in under an hour! As shown here, the craft can easily fly the whole length of Kerbin's equator, and superheat the planet's atmosphere at the same time. 

But don't just take my word for it - the craft is now available on KerbalX, right here! Please note this was built using Restock - I have no idea if it will work without it, but none of the parts are from mods themselves so it should be fine.

(also can someone please tell me how to change kerbalx thumbs?)
