Welcome to the SST challenge! In this challenge, you are to build an airliner, cargo transport, or anything that can transport something one place to another safely at supersonic speeds. All entries due on November 1st, winners will be determined shortly afterwards.
RULES:
- XML modding is allowed
- Speed must be above 661 MPH to be classified as supersonic
- Speed must be below 3,700 MPH
- Must look supersonic (No regular airliners)
- Must have realistic performance (Make sure that your aircraft doesn't fly like a fighter)
- No beta parts (until 1.7 is officially released) but may be built on the beta version.
- You may request modded parts if necessary. Don't be afraid to ask!
- You are allowed up to 2 entries.
- MUST BE A SUCCESSOR!
JUDGING:
Your aircraft can be fictional or a replica.
REPLICAS:
(/10) Accuracy (Scale, attention to detail, position of parts etc...)
(/10) Functionality (Does everything work the way it does on the real plane?)
(__/10) Flyability (Does the plane fly realistically? Does it fly at all?)
FICTIONAL:
(/5) Uniqueness (Does it stand out?)
(/5) Rationality (Does it look like it would work?)
(/10) Functionality (Does everything work as advertised?)
(/10) Flyability (Does the plane act like a fighter or an SST?)
TOTAL:
(__/30) This score will determine the rank you place in.

Well then what you can do is just use a structural wing, and then for the control surface section, a normal one. And you can always ask someone else to do it for you. @tsampoy
@CoolPeach I can't XML
Uses structural wings with a control surface via XML
@tsampoy
MY WINGS JUST WOBBLE IN 550 MPH
@Reaper9 Anything, it could be any age! Even from the medieval age, or from when the Earth ends!
Does it have to look like today's supersonic vehicles or it could be something more futuristic?
@BaconRoll Ok, that’s fine then.
@grantflys it transports a big drone
@BaconRoll Only if you convert it into a transport but otherwise sure!
May I enter my Bullseye bomber?
@Qnamrof None, but preferably over 7.5 meters (25 feet) long
I'm in, are there any size limitations? Minimum, maximum?
@grantflys thanks
@Boostedminivans Just take all of the pieces off of the cockpit and build the plane around it. If you already built a plane, then you may take the cockpit piece off of the completed version, save the plane as a sub assembly, load up the challenge, take off all the parts, and put the plane you saved onto the cockpit.
How do we submit our entry's
@grantflys Thanks I appreciate it.
@TheXDimension32 Sorry to hear that man. I’ll tell you what: I’ll give you an extension if you don’t have power back by October 15th. Let me know.
Just found this, and I started a Concorde 2 days ago. Perfect!
I want to enter but our power is out due to Irma and I'm not sure if I'll have time to get it done afterwards.
I'm close to done my entry
What a coincidence, yer boi is already building one.
Hehehe
@AceOfSpade It's 661 at sea level.
Really its 767.269mph, but I still approve
Can krakens and mice join? Just kidding cool challenge @grantflys
@UssInvincible Supersonic Transport (Like the Concorde or TU-144)
