Auto Credit Based on kikasshes's [CLOSED] Mach challenge
Maintain less than 10,000ft (5-7,000 is preferred) will achieve a speed of over 7300mph (mach 9.5) (before oscillation occurs) one way, for enough fuel for return trip top speed is 5000mph (i guess that then checked it and was spot on lol) (you have 58% fuel left so 16% to turn around )

25.2k kikasshes@Puredeath Lots of airbrakes9.1 years ago

6,986 Puredeath@kikasshes issue is getting enough thrust and the spin up time the thing weighs over 400,000lbs and is going mach 1-mach3 when landing thats alot of momentum9.1 years ago
-
25.2k kikasshes@Puredeath Yeah, you could try reverse thrust.9.1 years ago
-
6,986 Puredeath@kikasshes issue is how to stop a plane going about mach 2 in the length of a runway9.1 years ago
-
25.2k kikasshes@Puredeath Great! :D9.1 years ago
-
6,986 Puredeath@kikasshes I'm working on it9.1 years ago
-
25.2k kikasshes@Puredeath Are you going to make a landable version of this or your other version?9.1 years ago
-
25.2k kikasshes@lowobservable It must be able to take off and land, yes.9.1 years ago
-
2,680 lowobservable@kikasshes do you have to be able to land it for it to be legal in the challenge?9.1 years ago
-
2,680 lowobservable@NovaTopaz it was inevitable xD9.1 years ago
-
3,974 Unknown1Noice plane!9.1 years ago
-
25.2k kikasshes@NovaTopaz Yeah XD But too many engines means weight and weight means harder to land. I couldn't land this plane for example.9.1 years ago

4,841 NovaTopazThis competition has become an engine spamming game, lol @kikasshes9.1 years ago
-
25.2k kikasshesI never would've thought someone would reach Mach 9.5! Great job! One question though, how am I supposed to land this thing!?9.1 years ago
-
6,986 Puredeath@lowobservable pitch back slightly to much and you can stall9.1 years ago
-
2,680 lowobservable@Puredeath ah I see. How do you take off correctly? I cant quite get it out off the runway right9.1 years ago
-
6,986 Puredeath@lowobservable yeah 56 the advantage of more engines, is the thrust to weight ratio approaches that of the engine by its self, and as more fuel is burned (bc the mass of stuff that isn't engines or fuel is relatively small) the acceleration can increase quite a bit9.1 years ago
-
2,680 lowobservableWow. Insane! What is that like 56 engines? I think you win this challenge bro9.1 years ago
-
6,986 Puredeath@lowobservable well adding a few more engines resulted in an extra 5,000mph. lol9.1 years ago
-
6,986 Puredeath@AndrewHamm thanks!9.1 years ago
