R-98X Prop Air Speed Record

27.8k bskngshrk  8.7 years ago
Auto Credit Based on bskngshrk's R-98D 745MPH Interceptor

Pretty much the fastest an unmodded piston-driven craft can go. The final installment in my R-98 series can reach a top speed of 740 MPH at sea level, and easily surpasses 800 MPH in a dive. Please start the flight in the air, this incredibly complex piece of machinery doesn't have wheels. Enjoy, leave a comment, and happy flying :)

    Wow that's crazy. Jundroo must've changed the physics model since then, because I just found out that the physics in SimplePlanes restricts all stock propeller-driven planes to about 745 MPH @Hadesrocks

    Yeah there was quite a bit of design development to minimize drag, so that agility would be preserved @Natedog23
