After my Testing running at max Throttle for more than 2-3 min or 250 KM in game the engine explodes but is still flyable for 10 more min then youre dead

Thanks for the comments :steamthumbsup:
Feedback is always welcome, especially negative ones.

I like how you put exhaust on wingtips

@Thales Thank you for the advice.

I used to always use the Fokker Alaskan for most of my flying, I'm using this all the time now.

@Captain Jack Sparrow,
Hard to say without testing.

@BasicallyIPlayGames,
Thanks. Low-drag pipes and control fins are the key to reach higher speed in this example as well as low mass and powerful engine. Jets have much greater thrust and usually can get a lot faster with increased mass. But thrust is first thing which needs to be increased, then weight.

liked the use of the exhaust, great plane, wish my jets were as fast as that.
