This challenge is called the Air Speed Record, you build the fastest stock aircraft you can and put your submission in the comments below through video or screenshot. Video is preferred over screenshot It's pretty straight forward however there are some rules to make sure this challenge is fair for everyone! Rules No rocket engines of any sort with the exception of rapier engines! No SRB's (Solid rocket boosters)! NO cheats! It must all be stock (no mods)! You may not use more than 8 engines. You may not go above 30,000 meters. It all must be in one stage, no seperatrons, decouplers, etc. It must be on Kerbin. It must be manned (No drones). Submissions are taken through screenshots and video but video is much more appreciated. It must take off from the runway. Have fun, and don't get discouraged. It must be a plane, not a rocket with a bunch of jet engines attached. This must be in KSP version 1.0.5 or later! Provide aircraft name!

Fraps (Good quality recording software, but costs money, wouldn't buy it for this challenge if you don't already have it.) Bandicam Trial (Free, good quality video but there is a watermark) Recommended Editing Software Obviously you don't need to edit the video but it will make the quality of the video better. Lightworks (Free video editing software with lots of features, but it can take a while to learn to use. Option to upgrade, upgrade provides more features) Windows Movie Maker / iMovie (Depending on what OS you have this will be included, free, simple, easy to use but don't expect much out of it) Once again don't get discouraged and have fun and make sure to follow the rules Put submissions below in the comments Video is preferred over screenshot

The SB-2 Albatross was originally meant to be a orbital bomber, but I saw the high speeds it could reach in the atmosphere and it gained a new purpose, to be the fastest plane! I'm not sure if this is the fastest plane in KSP, but I could not find a single stage traditional plane on YouTube that exceeded this speed. I made a challenge thread called Air Speed Record! Here's a link to it! http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/index.php?/topic/132268-air-speed-record-challenge/#comment-2412910 And no, it isn't just a matter of having non air breathing engines so I can reach that altitude, I still got it to go to 1600-1700 M/S at 10km up. Subscribe and like so this channel can continue to grow please Lastly can you please tell me what you think of the video quality, I am trying some new recording software called OBS. Thanks!! Anyway, here's the video. Song: Electric Joy Ride - Origin
