This plane is a prototype experiment in controllable hypervelocity flight. It's a plane that can take off, accelerate to 16000 mph, fly around at that speed, then decelerate and land again safely. The engine is modded to 0.1 spool and 5000 power, meaning the throttle reaction is VERY quick, fuel consumption is VERY slow, and the possible g-forces you can accelerate at are insane. Impossible even.
Take off throttle is 1% or LESS. Full throttle flight is tricky since the plane flutters a bit, the roll response is extreme, and the pitch becomes weak above 30,000 ft (which is easy to clear without meaning to). Do not attempt a loop at full throttle, or even pitch above 60 degrees. You will likely leave the atmosphere, and be unable to resume controlled flight.
Landing should be done with throttle cut. Try to make your final approach around 250 mph. Any slower and you'll be too nose-heavy for a safe landing. Retract your landing gear once you're rolling to use the friction of the plane's belly to brake.

I have my superflash with speed like this...
@SimpleFlow You gotta be careful at full throttle. 50-75% is the sweet spot for both speed and control.
Omg
I flew to the car park thing in like 3 seconds
The pitched down on it and whent through it😵😵
@AtomicFerret007 Thanks.
It's INSANE!!!!
@tuco Glad you like it.
hahha! this. is the funnest thing
@Sunnyskies love science
@legiondesigns 7 million is far beyond hyper sonic. Those are relativistic velocities. Speeds so fast, you exceed the escape velocity of the entire galaxy. At that point, the only thing in the universe you can't outrun is light itself. You have have so much momentum, an object the size of a plane has an impact force comparable to an asteroid impact. That's some fun stuff!
@Sunnyskies I know, I just made it to prove you could go hyper sonic speeds.
@legiondesigns At speeds like that, you sort of lose track of the islands, and can't find a place to land. And that's if you don't angle the nose up and accidentally leave the atmosphere.
@ChiChiWerx Thanks.
An SP hypersonic research vehicle, I like it!
I have a plane that goes over 7million, and doesn't rip apart.
