XF-4000

765 TexJohnston  6.6 years ago

A ludicrously fast experimental interceptor from the mid-50s. It has no landing gear, so you've gotta take off from one of the final approaches. Top speed is over 4000 MPH, and at speeds near that, you've gotta keep her spinning in order to stabilize. During hard maneuvers, she is more or less stable, but if you try to go in a straight line without spinning, brace for turbulence.

    @Stellarlabs Yeah, not the best air/space craft if you're not a fan of spinning like a disco ball on steroids.
