No, I refered about a rocket assistance added to combustion turbinel militar airplanes.
in the movie The Right Suff (1983) they showed a record attempt of CHuck Yeager, using a military airplane that had some rockets added to the back of the plane body. The the movie producers forgot to add the rockets to the plane used in the shooting.
But you can see when he activates the rockets in the controll panel of the plane.
Watch in 03:20 :
This solar plane will not get even closer to that. It's a different record modality.
