I am looking for a hypersonic plane for flight sim.  I have done a search and found nothing.  Thank you.

You can't really go hypersonic in FS as there is a speed limit of 1000knts.
The fastest kites available are the XB-70 or the Firefox. Both are available here at SimV ;)

Are you sure about the 1000knt limit ozzy?  I went well over 1000 in a tomcat once

Well, after doing some more research, I found one.  I was able to get to 2304 knots.  Kinda crazy.

Whoops showing my age again, it is the earlier versions of FS that have the 1000knt vertical speed limit.

The airforce also had plans for that little delta winged interceptor that looked like a baby valkyrie sort of.  Never made it past the mock-up stage but it was intended to escort the Valkyrie.  Shame it never went to production and service.  Shame the Valkyrie never went past proto-type.  Why the Air Force choose to cling on to the slow but high flying B-52 is sometimes a wonder when a plane that can carry nearly as much twice as fast would have been far more survivable.
