This is my concept aircraft. It is still a prototype so it is not perfect. Pls make recommendations so that later versions(and hopefully the complete version) is at its best.

This aircraft works best at medium to high graphics level. The aircraft tops out at around 880mph. It handles at its best at around 700mph and keeps pitching down below that speed. It burns through fuel fairly fast so keep tabs on the fuel meter. It is fairly manuverable and it should get better in later versions.

Pls feel free to rate and comment. CONSTRUCTIVE critisim is asked for so please do make recommendations.

    Thanks @ABC123 and @Skylake for the ratings. Ya I don't like the pitching issue also,hence the prototype designation. Trying to fix it currently but for now it works best at around supersonic speeds. If you guys or anyone else notice anything pls report it so I cane fix for future versions.

    I like the look very much and it flies well. The nose dips down a little more quickly than I would like when trying to fly level. I didn't look too closely at this plane, but things like that can usually be fixed by changing up wing types (semi-symmetric gives more lift than symmetric when flying level).
