Airspeed challenge.

[Spaceisbeautifulul]

Ok, so as far as I know this challenge has not been made yet. If it has go on and yell at me for it. But I don't think it has.

Alrighties! So... uh, post big text with the challenge name here:

Airspeed Challenge!

Yeah... there we go.

The challenge is, to get going as fast as you can.

RULES:

1. You may not go over 3000 meters.

2. You may not use the stock plane (make your own people ).

3. You can use mods, just within reason (any mods that make powerful engines, or make the craft unreasonably stable) if you have a question about mods, just ask me .

4. You can use airbreathing jets, rockets whatever you'd like.

Aaand 5. You can make it whatever sort of shape you'd like, even some sort of house, cube, panel, thing.

So long as it flies...

And since I need to try it myself first, here yah go:

"Clocking in at a stunning 295.5 m/s!"

LEADERBOARDS:

1. Johno: 839.7 m/s

2. skykooler: 585.6 m/s

3. Me!

So I'm sure some of you will find a reason to yell at me about everything that's wrong with it, but I'm going to post this anyways.

Where's that button...

Ah, found it!

Ok, here's a sepratron-powered probe core reaching 585.6 m/s:

[Spaceisbeautifulul]

Errr, sure I'll take that.

[Johnno]

839.7m/s (Flight log said 851m/s but that was the inflight screenie I managed)

Entry 2: 901m/s (inflight picture shows 890m/s but gets too blurry cause of photobucket compression, can try to fix if it's an issue)

Another separatron spamming challenge.

I thought aerospikes might come out on top with their superior drag model -- but no, sepratrons are nearly twice as fast on paper.

[ShachonianX]

I reached about 1,000 m/s, but it went over 3000 meters.

[Skyhawk]

Well, this thing seems to be a jack of all trades, and it looks legal according to the rules, (although you may want to put it in a new category) so:

(It went so fast it tore itself apart)

I call it the hummingbird. 4,118 m/s.

Mach 12.

[Spaceisbeautifulul]

Err, I'm sorry but I don't feel like I can accept that.

Its basically a bug in the game. Although I have made those and they are fun to play with.

Sorry.

[Skyhawk]

Yeah, that's okay. It is definitely exploiting a glitch, however nowhere in the rules did it say you couldn't use infinigliders. Still, it's your challenge, feel free to do as you wish. I have seen other challenges in the past that have seperate categories for glitch-powered vehicles, but it's your choice whether to do that or not. I just thought it was a cool vehicle.
