Flies extremely level. The Harpoon has two speed modes and two control modes. AG8 enables high-speed mode (on by default). AG2 enables high-agility pitch mode. In either speed mode, if launched from Wright (just throttle up until it clears the runway) and leveled off (using autopilot or manually), it will strike Snowstone within 100 feet of its starting altitude.

    @KSPFSXandSP Yeah. Hopefully, if Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos etc. have their way, passenger space flights will be a reality and we can all travel at Mach 25 someday.

    @SledDriver True....
    We can dream, though.

    @Davisplanez Yes, just one. It'll take down destroyers, but not the Beast. The point of this one was just to demonstrate level flight.

    Does it have bombs in it?

    @KSPFSXandSP Yeah, but at that speed it might have to be. Adding a meatbag and associated systems would probably make it too big/heavy/expensive. Anyway, at that speed you'd only be flying in a straight line. For "fun" flying you probably need something like an agile, Mach ~2 fighter.

    @SledDriver Don't most of us wish to be SR-71 pilots?
    The only problem with the SR-72 is that it's autonomous.

    @MaximusTheMinimus Ha, I wish I'd been an SR-71 pilot... but the only flying I've done is as an airline passenger. I chose the name because the SR-71 is my favourite aircraft by far.

    @SledDriver Have you ever flown an actual aircraft? Because Sled Drivers were SR-71 pilots...

    @SledDriver I will soon once I can get to my PC that has the game. In the meantime, I'll enjoy the beauty ;)

    Glad you think so, @JettStorm. Try it out, if only to see how level it flies.
