Auto Credit Based on DIRECTEDCORD's i am in misery

This is a plane from a "man in the high castle" Style universe

Lore:
The ju-278 is a supersonic airliner made with the whole purpose of transporting high ranked generals as well other important people for the reich

In the late 50's Göring asked junkers to make a plane capable of flying from new York to berlin and Tokyo non-stop at mach 2.7, such task was virtually imposible as the fuel needed was to much for the moment, the jet engines we're too ineficient so they came up with the idea of using refueling to help with this, now the plane had pretty much unlimited range this Made it one of the cold war more important planes as it has an enormous impact in things such as pop culture, political issues and the arms race.

Landing instructions:
When aproaching the runway use 7-10% throttle and trim all down, touch the ground as soft as you can and brake, in land you can use pitch to accelerate the front wheels as it has an engine to help move it
