The Tupolev Tu-3000 orbital bomber/SSTO was developed from the canceled Tupolev Tu-2000 SSTO plane created during cold war in the USSR, it was designed to be used as orbital bomber and launch platform for space vehicles. The plane took multiple design features of it's predecessor such as no visible cockpit thanks to full digitalization or the small delta wings that proved to be biggest weakness of the plane at low speeds. The plane at the introduction during the 59th Paris Air Show in 2029 was biggest bomber to ever fly and fastest plane to ever fly in atmospheric flight, it could achive incredible speed of ~4900 km/h at altitude of 11 kilometers. The plane was huge surprise to entire world as it was first SSTO plane ever created. It could achive stable 170 km orbit while carrying 30 tonnes of cargo. While in atmoshpere with full payload of 82 tonnes it could travel 29300 km. The max efficency was achive while traveling at altitude of about 32 kilometers.
