How does one make a propeller plane that goes mach 2 without exceeding 2 props and without xml?

I have multiple projects brewin', but this one is both extremely difficult and interestin'; a prop plane that breaks mach 2. With 2 propellers.
It doesn't break, or reach it, sadly. And I'm runnin' low on aerodynamic body designs. It has the strongest prop engine, both actually. I tried all the prop plane bodies in the book, and none of 'em are pushing 500. It's possible. I know it.. it has to be! Especially without xml.

    i have a ww2 aircraft (reference) that can reach almost 1 mach, so i'll gonna upload it

    Sorry I'm late, but you have all both engines set to the largest diameter and width, right?

    Unless we get better props, I'm gonna say not possible, but then again, spaceX landed a rocket sooooo

    I'll try drop tanks to increase the aerodynamics and lower the weight

    Well, even though SP does not incorporate mach effects to simulate the difficulties of supersonic flight, I do not thing any of the prop engines have enough power to exceed Mach 2.0. Plus, why would you even want to? The fastest prop-driven aircraft, the Tu-95 Bear is subsonic...high subsonic, it can reach Mach .75 (575 mph) in level flight. And the Bear has 14,000 hp turboprop engines driving 20 ft props! The reason prop aircraft cannot break the sound barrier (Mach 1.0) is because, progressively from the tips, prop blades begin to exceed Mach and lose efficiency as they attempt to drive the aircraft to Mach 1.0. So, a prop-driven Mach 2.0 SP build, is, in my opinion, utterly unrealistic.

    its impossible, if you still cant find a way,just give up and use XML

    hmm, maybe if oyu make it really light and low drag, but I'm not sure you'll have to try yourself, but be aware its hard
