Developed towards the middle of the Second Global War by Dieswen as a rocket powered quick response bomber as a solution to the advancing Iosian and Nordenvok forces under the title of Raketenbomber (rocket bomber), The "Blitz" (Lightning) is the fastest manned vehicle used in the Second Global War with a maximum speed of 618 mph thanks to the use of its hydrazine/methanol-base fuel.

The Blitz used three Off-On Rockets for flight that had approximately 15 minutes of fuel when used in a continuous burn, however the body of the aircraft was to be used as a lifting body to provide maximum longevity of its flight and preservation of fuel, the Blitz's maximum altitude of 72,000 feet allowed the vehicle to glide many miles before needing to reactivate the rockets.

After the war, the KA-209 Blitz was repurposed as a reconnaissance aircraft by Iosian occupied Dieswen during the Hon-Kain Crisis due to it's high reliability, high altitude, and cheap maintenance.

    @Texasfam04 its only that way because I'm unable to get the guns to fire via Throttle :( but that's also why I developed it into a lift body design.

    On ipad you have to press the “fireguns” button for thrust. its a bit difficult to fly having to hold down the button but its still a cool design.
