What would you do with a 14 mile bird?
Do the 14 miles really really really really really really really really really really really really fast. -John *You are nothing until you have flown a Douglas, Lockheed, Grumman or North American*

A lot of missiles do this ie. fast fuel burn to accelerate to say mach 5 in about 15 sec and then gliding (coasting might be a better term here) the rest of the way to the target. It's amazing how much momentum that much metal travelling 5000 mph will have.
