White Lightning mk2: Hypersonic jet

[Roflcopterkklol]

I have seen a fair few jets being thrown up on the exchange the past couple days so i thought i would throw one together for you guys because why not.

Built with the most futuristic space tape imaginable and immense air hogging capabilities in mind, this jet should be able to send jeb into the ground at alarming speeds.

White Lightning mk2 (Made without FAR or NEAR in mind)

Description:

This hypersonic jet is capable of sub orbits of 35,000m at 2200+m/s (Remember it is an air hog, if you want to go to space it will)

Despite its size it is quite maneuverable at low altitude as well and does not require SAS as it is built to be very stable in straight flight (It will even correct stalls without SAS if you let go of the controls)

The fuel tank system was built with stability in mind also so no pesky business of moving fuel from one tank to another., the centre of mass does not move at any fuel level after launch.

Do not use SAS below 6000m, you can but the plane likes to jiggle its booty around like a gogo dancer, above that altitude the problem disappears.

Altitude speeds:

15k: 900+m/s

20k: 1300+m/s

26k: 1900+m/s

32k: 2200+m/s

(Higher speeds are achievable)

And some pictures of this thing in flight, Does not seem to like being under 20km.

Bit better

loves 26-30km

Feels even better once you hit 32-35km and are at 1/4 throttle doing 2200m/s

And as i said it is an air hog, you can fly it to space (idk about orbit but i am calling space a victory.)

Few people have downloaded it so just wondering about some opinions, thinking about making an SSTO version of this plane i am just not sure it is worth the effort being such a complicated design.

still unsure what i could actually do with an SSTO version also, thinking 2 version may be a road i would have to take, the other one being able to go VTOL that gets to orbit riding a rocket which kinda seems silly seen as it only carries 1 kerbal. though i could make it hold more.

you are gifted but you might want to be a bit more minimalistic if you want downloads

yeah my first few versions of any craft are normally pretty big, really this is doing good for me im known to upload 1000+ part craft

And its not so much people downloading my craft, i know people do (over 1000 downloads on my craft files) its just getting feed back on what i should do next haha
