The North American X-15 was a hypersonic rocket-powered aircraft operated by the United States Air Force and theNational Aeronautics and Space Administration as part of the X-plane series of experimental aircraft. The X-15 set speed and altitude records in the 1960s, reaching the edge of outer space and returning with valuable data used inaircraft and spacecraft design. As of 2015, the X-15 holds the official world record for the highest speed ever reached by a manned, powered aircraft. Its maximum speed was 4,520 miles per hour (7,274 km/h), or Mach 6.72.[1]. don't forget to come back and rate (-:

    @picy yea thank you it's perfect but surface phase shows a small part of the tail and nothing more but it works :-D good for PC users who use high water detail ,,you can upload it to public :-D

    @picy yea true, my idea was like this : Activate VTOL nozzle points upward (submerge) ...deactivate VTOL engine ....Rise to surface with other 2 nozzels that will point backwards for propulsion ...my 2 problems are Turning (it's way more better than older versions) and buoyant fuselages that resists VTOL nozzle thrust ...if i decrease the buoyancy percentage it sinks if i increase the buoyancy it repels/resists the thrust and jumps out of water :/ ill give 10 upvotes for anyone who puts his effort in this project even if he or she fails

    Great plane. It looks and handles just like the real thing but I give it 4 stars for being unstable under 200 mph
