A prototype hypersonic jet. Not to scale, the real one fits on a wing to launch. Start in midair, it should reach 4000 mph before running out of fuel, which is what the real one does. Enjoy!

    Indeed it does move. @EnderWiggin you don't have to post links I'm following you now so I'll see all your planes.

    I uploaded my second SCRAM Jet installment. This one definitely moves.

    @OminousGloom
    I built a very basic proof-of-concept SCRAM but it needs about another 2,400mph to really be true to form.

    What ideas do you have for that? @EnderWiggin there are a few things I could build pertaining to scramjets.
