Excellent....but would it use reheat for so long?
Very impressive camera angles and nicely edited

It uses reheat for most of the flight, especially at cruise. As the speed builds, more and more air is bypassed around the turbine portion of the engine, and it functions as more of a ramjet.

Thanks for the explanation Chris
Normally I wouldn't expect to see so much reheat but this is no normal beast

Glad I could help Garry!
I've found it to be quite lovely to fly. Landing has been an entirely different undertaking. I usually end up with a very large, very black lawn dart.
