Hey everyone in the community, hope you are all doing good this weekend. I decided to post my lastest and second creation, the CJF-366! It's inspired by a mix of my first post, the Capricorn, and the famous Concord. I would have tested and fooled around more, but it's just so fun to fly I couldn't resist. It's my first attempt at using fuel tanks as wings so it was a blast figuring that out on the go with successful results.
It glides at 100-150m/s for landings/take-offs and can reach up to 600-700 m/s after 5 minutes although I haven't fully speed tested it so it could possibly be faster. The idea was to make it supersonic, super-agile and as big as a commercial airliner.
Super nimble and agile to say the least for it's redicilous size. It's arguably as agile and maneuverable as an F-16, BUT it's massive, bigger than a Boeing 747 in bulk and length. It's cargo bay alone is 10 meters long so a lot fuel and space to play around with. It has folding wing tips for added lift and control. The back end of the craft is cut because having a tail during tests ust seemed to be overkill on the wings and gave the back end a bit too much stiffness. I added emergency parachutes for a laugh and found they worked out decently if you were to land without engine breaking even on rough terrain.
As for altitude and power it's very reliable and can really push the limits. Take off is effortless and can reach low altitude without any fuss (20000m). The only major thing to note is that the craft pitches slightly upwards consistently when the wing tips are folded up. I did this to really get the turn ratio as tight as possible for its size.
-No mods, all vanilla
-Recommended flying with joysticks.- The NAV circle can't keep up with the awesomeness.
Activation groups
1: JL-250 engines x 4
2: Folding wing tips (stabilizers
3: Cargo Bay
7: Parachutes
8: Landing gear
Hope you all enjoy as much as I do :)

@CJFreeze No problem. You made this on an Android?(I play on Windows)

Whoa, this is really cool!!! This craft flies amazingly and I really like the design. I love the addition of the cargo bay(I used it for a test dummy with a max gs of 11.2) and the parachutes actually work greater then just a saftey joke. The adjustable fins make the craft not only look cooler but also increase stability. Considering I haven't plaid for a while and didn't feel like building a rocket I'd say that that this is a way to cure boredom. I like the effort you put into this. My only downside is that you can't use the nav-ball because the orientation is messed up. Also, just so you know, you can actually label the action groups. You can do this by clicking on your control module and modifying the action groups. Looks awesome!

Before flying, remove the empty stages. They were from test flights and I forgot to remove them at the last moment.
@mcdonalaid101 made completely on a my cell. My kiddos use the PC all the time so I settle with SR2 on Android.
