[INVALID, CHECK DESC] I beat the Air Speed Record in Kerbal Space Program [100 Sub Special]

I forgot to set atmospheric heating to 100%, so this run is invalid. A faster legit air speed record attempt coming soon.
Top Speed: 5379.7 m/s, 19356.12 km/hr, 12027.34 mi/hr

I might try my hand at this. I think probably the best approach is stratzenblits's heat-shield drag-occluded fairing aircraft with a small, efficient engine (and then maybe a high TWR stage like yours). Fly the craft upside down using the insane lift generated by the heat shields to offset the insane centrifugal forces generated by going faster than orbital velocity just below 25km. I think it's still allowed under your rules

[@Nicolas_Gamer5476]

the heatshield would blow up if you are going faster than 4000m/s and have no ablaitor. it would just be a better idea to make the drag and heat occlusion glitch and have alot of high twr stages

[@Nicolas_Gamer5476]

unless the heatshield is also protected from heat then it would work

[@ToastyGuy]

Might try this out

So thats how they boil pasta in KSP

2:49 was that unplanned? Damn that was good! Also, is a command pod supposed to handle that speed? Was it safe because of the parachute?

[@funevidz4819]

Yes lol

[@funevidz4819]

Idk how the pod survived, I might have forgot to turn heating to 100%

[@Theun-vidz]

2:49 cool wait WAT

[@everybodyants]

This is unbelievably cool. I think small channels like that should get a lot of attention.

Why

Radiators

[@Nicolas_Gamer5476]

@@liquidtempest8526 radiators arent that good. they would generate alot of drag and generate more heat than they give out. also that craft has no radiators so

Not sure how you did this, looks unfair, do explain, but the airspeed record was already beaten by the guy who orbited Kerbin inside the atmosphere

Good job
