SPAEV - Supersonic Perpetual Atmospheric Exploration Vehicle

[Neotician]

Super long title for a simple plane, it's the kerbal way.

I wanted to make a plane for exploring Kerbin, and after running out of fuel a few times, i came up with this.

The Spaev is an 0.5 ton autonomous drone, with a max speed of about Mach 4.2, this speed is achieved without the consumption of fuel, using what our scientists call a "Voodoo drive" (AKA infiniglide bug).

Basically, you use the two rear mount RCS thrusters to achieve a speed of 70 m/s or faster, then engage SAS!

The plane seems to be most stable when operating at altitudes between 5 and 10 kilometers.

Wow. That's a fast infiniglider.
