Description: Hypersonic aircraft. It has an unusual design. This is for a mixture of stealth and effective design. Its design allows it for easy maneuverability, and great lift forces. It also keeps the heat away from the primary propulsion parts, that being the intake and engines, at the cost of excessive heat at the wings. Experimentation with radiators was attempted in order to allow the aircraft to acquire absolute max speed, though this did not succeed in the scale of which was required. The temperature would instead be lowered down a small amount.
It is capable of reaching an altitude of 25 KM with the assistance of atmosphere hopping - A tactic which includes unconventional and reasonably unstable flight. The aircraft is constantly dipping and rising, essentially making curves.
It’s merely experimental in order to find the limits, especially in unusual aircraft design compared to conventional design.
