What if you combined the speed of a jet and the maneuverability and low fuel consumption of a racing turboprop plane?

Here is the answer : The XTPSA 01

( XTPSA stands for Experimental Turbo Prop Supersonic Aircraft)

Design

Obviously inspired by the amazing and sadly unsuccessful Thunderscreech and using a modified version of the cockpit of my 287 Radar

(Unfinished and for now im too lazy to finish it lol)
,this aircraft has been made with the sole goal of being faster than Mach 1 using only propeller engines.

BUT THERE IS A TWIST

As you may or may not know, the game physics make prop engines unable to reach Mach 1 despite having 40 blades and 600,000 hp lol.

So I spent some time figuring out a solution and messing around a bit with the game engine until I found the answer to my problem.

And this is the answer :

Since this engine is a very old engine, the game dev did not apply any speed limitation to this little prop engine, and that's how the plane works.

It does not use any hiden jet engine

(Idk imo that cheating lol)
It only uses those guys :

1 Main turboprop for acceleration and subsonic speed.
2 Secondary turboprops with no power just for the sound lol
And 1 small prop engine with no speed restrictions to go past mach 1.

controls and speed

The controls are basic.
The maneuvrability is very good.
Top speed is around 1700kmh/1056mph/917kts or 472m/s at around 1000m/3280ft.

Its also equiped with 4x 12.7 mm canons and can be fitted with differents types of weapons (at the cost of less speed)
And airbrakes for landing cos due to the small landing gear it can be tricky for inexperienced pilots to land this little plane.

More Pics

yes the nickname "seventy thorns" is a reference to a song by Kim Dracula <3 cos the scream at the start reminded me of the sound of that plane lmao

Enjoy !
