Darkasantion

After some testing several points of improvements have been found and adressed. The debriefing with new driver Lewis Kerbinton was rather long and full of details but the short version was that the car was to heavy and turned slowly. Thus the car has been made lighter and shorter, resulting in a car with a very low weight, a short turning circle and rather fast accleration. Only downside is that the car is a bit twitchy in handling, so Lewis has to do some more practice runs to learn control the K14T. But the car can actually drift...

Is this a legal design? Just wondering... You could say the car has a sort of blown diffuser...

How do you use that external seat thing? I always attach it but never can get a pilot in that thing somehow...

Another attempt at it, keep trying to lower drag and mass while keeping the current engine lay-out. Resulted in an 1800.4 m/s flight with an stock unmodded craft. 3 Turbojets and altough take off is rather difficult, once it reaches hight it is a rather nice plane to fly really. Rocket versions is even faster I think, but burns fuel very fast... So I'll need a carrier for that plane, let's build that now then

Second attempt at the barrier, just made it, will tinker with it again later tonight to see if I can gain more speed

Got an aircraft that can do ~1710+ m/s but staying below 20Km will be hard. Will give it a try later today .
