Speed?

How would one get more performance out of my builds. I have not messed with the mass of stockparts. Is that were I should begin?

    @Wolffman Xml mod the engine to be more powerful or download a modded engine.

    @Wolffman Low mass helps acceleration, but doesn't do much to top speed.

    The first thing you should know about speed is air resistance. I'm not talking about drag, either. I'm talking about your wings tearing off and your plane exploding because you went too fast at low altitude. The default wings are only reliable below a certain speed below 20,000 feet, below that, youd better use structural wings.

    Weight itself has some small effect on max speed, but mostly just acceleration and turning. The main factors that effect speed are thrust and drag. You can xml mod an engine or download a missed one that can give you any amount of thrust you want. You will ALWAYS be faster above 30,000 or so because air density is lower and you'll get less drag. Good luck.
