I tried to make a jet that could reach high speeds but the plane exploded when it reached about 700-900 Mph. I made the plane as aerodynamic as possible but could not fix this. Help

    @Mickk I'm on high physics. Typically when a plan flies apart it's at low altitude where the air is densest. I put this thing through it's paces at it holds up and performs nicely. Maybe it's a platform issue? I'm on a PC.

    @atgxtg Yes, I also found that it doesn't blow up.
    I usually fly on low/mid myself, unless I am taking screen shots, so it could be that.

    Odd, it doesn't blow up when I fly it. I've tired high speed down low, 1000mph at 65K and even a power dive with a pull up near the water. It's rock solid.

    Some questions:
    -What altitude does it blow up at?
    -Do the wings start flexing wildly before it blows up?
    -What Physics settings do you use?,
    -Are you using the time warp mod?

    @Vidal99977 He is on iOS. I don't think you can XML mod on iOS.
    The aircraft exploding thing is probably due to using normal wings, which definitely have a speed limit.
    One you get above a certain speed the wings start to wiggle/shake and eventually they 'break' and the rest is just 'boooom'.

    Edit:Downloaded and looked at the wings. It is as I thought.

    Download this --> https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/g3uDIy/structural-wing-with-control-surface-modded
    Save it as an assembly and use it for making wings.
    With this item, wings getting the wiggles/shakes will be a thing of the past AND you will be able to make them as big as you want without them sagging. ;)

    You need XML modding
