How far can you go? Everyone knows that fuel is essential for increasing a vehicle's range… but how far can you go using only 20 gallons? Construct a plane that can travel the farthest distance possible using no more than 20 gallons of fuel. Those who win get upvotes and bragging rights. To enter, please create your craft as a successor to this challenge. ||Rules: No more than 20 gallons of fuel on the craft. No aircraft powered by cannons, motors, pistons, or hinges. XML Modding the power, fuel, drag, or mass of parts is prohibited. Vanilla parts only. Breaking these rules will disqualify your aircraft until it meets these regulations.|| The deadline is July 4th. By then, further submissions will not be considered, and testing will begin. Aircraft will be tested at their maximum flight ceiling and at maximum throttle.

so... will there be results?
@FlyingPotato_131 oops sorry I didn't thought u were gonna troll
@Mcwalrus dude why did you have to spoil it it was going to be a surprise
@FlyingPotato_131 i mean, sure...
Can I have missiles on my plane?
I can throw my wheels out!
@CrackheadEngineer haha thanks!
@bosscai as long as the plane does not contain more than 20 gallons of fuel, it should be fine. Can't imagine how far you'll go without an engine, though.
uhh,can i use glide plane..? (no wheel)
@CrackheadEngineer I already posted it and I didn't scaled the engine
@Theflyer666 using the in-game modifier is perfectly fine. XML Modding the drag, mass, power, or fuel consumption of parts is prohibited.
i made a 4-part glider, if i tweak the wings so they're larger can i enter it? i tested it at 40,000 feet right above wright final approach, made it to Krakabloa almost
@FlyingPotato_131 XML Modding the power, drag, mass, and fuel consumption of an engine is prohibited. The in-game part tweaker is allowed.
can I modify one engine to have the same stats as another engine? (so that it only looks different)
@CrackheadEngineer it does not
@JamTheProtogen does it also effect the mass, power, or drag of the part?
Just in case... Can I make more than one submission?
Can I re-size the engine?
I didn't see cannon at first
@StarLord458 ahem
Damn my electric motor is not allowed
@CrackheadEngineer What about cannons
@X99STRIKER this is why I prohibited XML modding and piston/motor/hinge powered aircraft
Imma see what i can do.
I’ll see what I can do with a car.
