How can you reach a cruising speed of Mach 10 with an aircraft of 2 jet engines? I guess you can do it in 2 easy steps:
a) Start/Take-off: you start with 2 engines on but with only flaps 0-10 (this setting is meant to replace the canards),
b) Space-time Jump: when you are about to reach normal cruising speed and altitude you switch off the 2 main engines and the aircraft is only propelled by the jet stream of the auxiliary power unit, all this with flaps 0-10 (hopefully more uplift and canard setting on)...
Warning! These ideas are intended for the entertainment of totally bored people - and not for airline pilots... Never try it out!
In the draft below the orange line means the track originally intended at the design of the airplane - the green line means the track intended by me...
Best wishes, Joseph de la Mikula and Team
