Fastest Plane with Air Breathing Engines


Recommended Posts

Problem here is exactly the new system, I manually managed to push a basic plane to 150km Apo, and I was lugging around fuel to circularize when I was out of the atmo, and that was just a nothing plane, 2 intakes and a ramjet. I'm sure you could push much higher and record the speed as you come down to 70km.

I didn't notice how silly spaceplanes had gotten till I decided I was at a tech level in my career save to try one, I managed to manually keep the jet running to 69000m.

If you airhog you can almost run a jet engine in space and you can if you time it right and close the intakes at the right time and have enough of them, you can create "canned air" for your jet engine.

This challenge would be better suited to have a few more regulations. Like 1 intake per jet engine, max altitude, no oxydizer, xenon, or RCS fuel.
