[CLOSED] Mach challenge

My first challenge!
So I've been trying to make fast planes but not really succeeded. (Never reached
Mach 2) That's why I'm challenging you guys to make some really fast planes.

The goal is to make the fastest plane possible at horizontal flight, but you can't use any modded engines. The fastest plane is the winner, but if two planes are similar in speed I will judge by looks and the flying experience, so put some thought as well as crazy engineering into your planes.

The rules:
1. No modded engines, but you can use xml editing for aesthetic purposes.
2. No detaching of engines.
3. The plane must be able to land and take off from a runway.
4. You may have up to three entries.
5. The entries must be successors.
6. Write the optimal altitude in the description.
7. You have to the end of this month to submit your planes.

I will follow the three best creators. The winner will get ten upvotes, the second will get seven, and the third will get five. All entries will also be upvoted.
Good luck!

    @MechWARRIOR57 Well, you can give the challenge a shot and design a new plane. The airliner engine should help you beat all the entries of the original challenge.

    @MechWARRIOR57 Feel free to challenge yourself! If you link it to me here or post it as a successor to this post I will rank you with the same ranking system I used for the others. (You are not eligible for the prizes though, although I might give you some extra upvotes if you score high)

    @ETheGodly I'm very sorry I haven't had a chance to test fly and judge all the entries. I haven't forgotten about this challenge and I promise there will be results hopefully soon.

    @Stingray Well your entry would've been okay, but when looking in the Xml I found that the engines had many times their original power

    @kikasshes Best if I withdraw from this challenge. Unclear if you are counting carefully clipped engines as mods. Are you? I can submit antique SR-71s that manage about 1,500 MPH. But, then I believe you'd give the same comment thing about truly stock engines, which are merely clipped in series.
