Hypertato [0.90] [Hypersonic]

[ManlyPotatoe]

Potato Industries has unveiled it's new plane: The Hypertato.

The Hypertato is capable of reaching speeds above Mach 6, however it's safer to fly at Mach 5 (1,701 m/s). This high speed jet cruises at an altitude between 15,000 and 30,000 m/s.

Flight Instructions:

1. Take off and turn to face your desired direction

2. Pitch up to 30 Degrees at full throttle

3. at 15,000 Meters, level out

4. As you approach hypersonic speed, gradually throttle down so that when you reach 1,701 m/s, you are at half throttle.

5. Adjust Throttle when necessary

6. Profit!

Warning, the first fuel tank is set to not feed fuel to the engines, transfer fuel from this tank to the middle tank if your middle tank is dry.

The Hypertato is capable of circumnavigating Kerbin, in less than 50 minutes. And it could possibly reach space, but since there are only jet engines, you will not be orbiting today!

[Note]: Some part Clipping is used, to make the plane look better, the clipped fuel tank at the back carries no fuel.

[Mods]: My install uses some mods, these are not essential for the plane to work. The mods used are: EVE, Distant Object Enhancement, and Texture Replacer. kerbpaint is used for the screenshots, but not on the download version.

*If you wish, you can create a youtube video featuring this plane, as long as this post is referenced in the description, and you give me permission to embed your video in this post.
