The only issue i have with this is they have essentially taken the space shuttles off centre engine placement without a reason for them to be angled like that, this doesnt seem to have a massive fuel tank strapped to it throwing off centre of mass.
The jet engine is below the rocket nozzle, forcing the offset. The rocket engine points towards the center of mass. How it has enough fuel for orbit without a tank, even if it is a hypersonic spaceplane, is unclear.
Maybe it has a really high angle of attack in flight?
