The DHE riptide was an experimental racer that never made it past concept phase, but was designed to push the limits of a single-engine craft. the aircraft was able to push to neary 700 mph in test runs, proving immense speed thanks to its enourmous front engine. the double wings also grant the plane incredible manueverability. in test runs, the aircraft was able to complete the "shark tooth" test course in a dizzying one minute and thirty four seconds. this was made for the shark tooth challenge, and i'm happy with its performance. it's a real beast, and while it may not win, i feel like i've pushed my current skills to their limits.
