Do you know the range. Like to the north pole? The desert and back?

If you exchange turbojets by basicjets, this plane will have more range and better performance at low altitudes...

Range is huge I managed to go around Kerbin and it used only 170-180l, main fuel use was take off and climbing to 30km. It has 6 or 8 air intakes, so it can fly at around 30km altitude and at such height it uses just 0.05l/s at 2.2km/s speed so theoretically it can go 24000+ km.

Yes BasicJets are better at lower altitude, but this is long range craft. It flies high, because it is faster and uses less fuel to cover long distances. I have short range version, it's same craft, just it uses BasicJets and carries only 10-20% of fuel. I don't want to carry excess fuel for short trips.
