Toad Aeronautics' Hypersonic Research Vehicle. Can go Mach 6+. Use Turbojets to get 20+ KM, then use the full-flow-staged engine to go hypersonic. Features Variable Incidence wings, (Slider 2) and Airbrakes (Slider 1). The latter does not work, however they do not add any drag and I wanted to post this, so I kept them on. If anybody knows why the airbrakes somehow do not contribute to any drag while at full "up" position, let me know. This took refinement, and the final product at least looks alright.

    @Weaponizedsideeye They are as large as they can get. If I make them any larger, they will not fit inside the fuselage. Furthermore, they should produce more than 0.00 Newtons of drag at Mach 6.

    @ToadAeronautics alright, maybe making the panel larger perhaps so it has more surface area

    @Weaponizedsideeye Well, the point of this craft was for career mode, therefore I had some restrictions. If I had complete freedom with the tinker panel, I would likely have made it so the parts were more heat resistant, though the aforementioned restrictions apply.

    I know the pain, I struggle with the same problem, try using the tinker panel to increase drag that might help
