The hypersonic drone is a huge success! Forgot to stop pitching up in time and reached Mach 6.41 at ~71620m, accidentally. And I landed safely! So uhh this is gonna be slightly faster than your regular plane!

@Zazo Yes, that's what I meant. If you hold it from the very beginning of takeoff, you'll crash into the nearest hill, and then you need to sharply raise the nose at the end of the runway.

@Lq11 it's fine because this thing does takeoff weirdly! Like you have to suddenly go full pitch up at 180m/s and keep that pitch until the nose is at 45-60°, and THEN you put pitch to 0 again at 14,000m to let it level out at a good altitude!

Just know I'm happy to help if needed, although it still took me an hour to figure it out.

@Zazo If everything works fine for you, then I have poor piloting skills and I should stay in the ships.

@Lq11 if it's roll quivers then it should go away once you gain altitude and speed, but manual takeoffs solve this!

@Zazo No problem, although for me it's just a minor help. I just like specifics. Although, with the weight I mentioned, I had some problems with takeoff.

@Lq11 I meant that I have to credit you a ton because if you didn't tell me how much weight to put on the front then none of this would've worked!

@Zazo Oops, sorry, translation problem. I'm not the author. Yes, he was very fast, as I recall, he could reach Mach 11, but he drowned in the ocean.

@Lq11 but I'm working on the stratolaunching part!
