A plane so fast that you can slingshot yourself into (suborbital) space. Try disabling SAS if the controls start spazzing out.


Instructions to slingshot yourself into space:
1- Reduce the fuel load to 50 liters and launch your mission.
2- Change the engines mode to run "wet"; don't worry, you have to burn all the fuel to make this work anyways.
3- When you take off, keep a constant heading and altitude until you reach 1000 m/s (Get ready to juggle your SAS settings when >750 m/s)
4- Immediately change your heading to straight up when you reach 1000 m/s, don't let the pilot pass out more than once at this stage !
5- Just as you run out of fuel, the air intake should cut out and you should be on your way to space. You can even leave your cockpit for an EVA after this stage, how early you leave depends on how adventurous your kerbal feels that day.
