Welcome to my contest! This is my second contest on the site with the theme of Supersonic. In this challenge, you must draw or imagine a supersonic build, then get building and publish it whenever you feel like it’s ready! I will be testing your builds as time pass by.

Rules:
•Please, just please be a good sport. I want everyone to be happy in the contest. Don’t get upset whenever you lost.
•Any rank can join in! Why any rank can join in? I’m kind enough to do so.
•The build doesn’t have to be a plane, it can be a supersonic car and a boat as well!
•Please follow the site’s rules. The moderators are here to enforce the rules and to make a site a better place.
•Fine tuner and Overload is allowed, as long as you don’t edit the jet engine’s power multiplier and as long as you don’t edit the mass of the part. For fuselages, dead weight is okay.
•The main part of this contest is lightweight, which can give out speed and weight distribution. Sometimes, you just need to lighten the aircraft, not giving it too many jet engines for speed.
•I’m not sure about the max performance cost, just as long as my device can handle it.
•Max parts is at least as long as it is mobile friendly and downloadable for guests of the site.
•The build can be VR supported as well!
•Your submission must be a successor of this post.
•The contest points method is done by the points summary, take a look of the points summary!
•3 Entries are allowed per user. Not only that it can increase luck on winning, only the best entry will count towards the contest.

Points summary:
Looks of the model: 1 to 10
How well it performs: 1 to 10
How fast it goes: 1 to 10 (Faster is better!)
How manoeuvrable it is: 1 to 10 (the more manoeuvrable it is, the better it is!)
Bonus points (If curated and part count low, even better!): 1 to 4
Overall points: 1 to 44

Deadline:
30th of September AEST

Some explanation:
•Subsonic for a typical aircraft is under 250 Miles per hour, which is below Mach 1.
•Transonic for a typical aircraft is above 250 Miles per hour, but lower than 760 Miles per hour, which is at Mach 1.
•Supersonic for a typical aircraft is above 760 Miles per hour, which is above Mach 1.
•If you already know what these mean, you can just ignore the three facts above this explanation.

Prizes:
•First place will receive a prize of their choice, but if a higher rank than me, then I cannot spotlight.
•Second place will receive 5 upvotes and a successor of their post.
•Third place will receive 3 upvotes.
•Fourth place will receive 2 upvotes.

Every successor post will receive an upvote from me.

Good luck, give it your best shot and have fun!

Examples:
Try collecting some inspirations from the legendary SR-71 Blackbird, or the Aussie jet boat “Spirit of Australia”, or even the fastest land vehicle which is the Thrust SSC! I do not have images of them unfortunately. I also forgot, try the example jet first, then get building by removing the blue block, the fuel block and the block in front and the bottom of the cockpit to start building.

In case you were wondering, the example jet in the background is my fictional F/A-13 Heron, a fictional supersonic jet with a fourth fixed landing gear in case of takeoff issues, a sweep wing that can move back and forth (If wing rotated backwards, it’s speed mode. If wing rotated forwards, it’s fighter mode. If wing never rotated, it’s regular mode.) and some weapons in the other version.

    In case you didn’t notice for those who are too lazy to read the contest description, this is a build challenge. A build challenge where you have to build a supersonic aircraft without editing the power multiplier of the jet engine. If you use too many jet engines for this contest, then you aren’t doing it right. Eight engines is the maximum jet engines you are allowed to have. Subsonic is something under 250 Miles per hour, Transonic is above 250 Miles per hour but lower than 760 Miles per hour and Supersonic is above 760 Miles per hour.
