I am going to the one place that hasn't been corrupted by capitalism — SPACE
LORE: Idea for this craft came partially from red alert 3. In this alternate universe, the soviets, who were jarred by being unable to catch the SR-71, and also trying to be the first country to send a spacecraft to orbit, decided to make a trijet capable of overtaking the SR-71 and also reach space.
Aircraft Features:
Highly maneuverable flying wing design with spoilers for yaw stabilisation
Modified gears for wider stance
Separate lever controls for yaw in VR
Flaps for takeoff/landing
Thrust vectoring
Cockpit capable of opening/closing
Escape capsule and ejecting (unique to spacecraft)
Detailed and fully functional cockpit
Custom air brake
LOTS of communism!

Ceiling: ~90,000m
Takeoff Speed: ~600km/h IAS (Half flaps, full trim)
Stall/Landing Speed: ~280-300km/h IAS (Full flaps and trim)

Hope you enjoy the build, cosmonauts!

New updates: The build previously uploaded had issues with the plane wobbling on landing and accidental yaw input on the joystick when you lock it to the side, so I separated yaw controls and made wider gears!
Once again if you enjoyed this build do give it an upvote, this is probably one of my most detailed builds to date!
