Surface to Space (Read 363 times)

Looking for a good quality (with VC) FSX air/spacecraft that can go from the surface of the earth out into space with no problems. Preferably not the space shuttle, but rather something that can use a runway for both takeoff and landing.

Thanks.

When you design it, let us know. Nothing I know of does that now. The Spaceplane is intended to do that, but it is so far more a dream than a reality...

Doesn't the American B-70 Valkyrie go into space?

On youtube videos I seen this exact plane go into space on its own and land again. I could be wrong. And if the Avro Arrow continued with its design and production it would of been able to enter space.

I could be wrong as I didn't keep up with planes as much as I should.

How about Supercar?  I've wanted a real one since I was about 6 years old.
