During high altitude testing a prototype of an upcoming GA fighter aircraft broke the world altitude record and powerclimbed to an astonashing altitude of 132,500ft traveling at a max speed of MACH 3.4 on it's trip.

The new aircraft is powered by 2 jet engines but they are not made from conventional materials and thus they produce amazing amounts of thrust while being super light and efficient.

While the production aircraft isn't expected to fly so high it does show that the aircraft is something that it will set the standard for aircraft design.

Any question you may have about the aircraft will happily be answered.

How about turning it into a bomber, nothing could shoot it down.

I would gladly give a donation to General Aviation Limited to aid in the devolopment of this jet.
