Beating Rainbow Dash #1


Holiday Agnaktor

909 views

I have decided that I will conquer the skies, conquer gravity, and make a plane that doesn't blow itself up. This is harder than it sounds like. Making a rocket is simple, add some fuel, add a rocket, and done. But a plane is science! There are so many things to think about that I'm not thinking about. So this is my next quest: to go at least twice the speed of sound without falling to bits, and fly around and stuff. Well shit. I'm going to be here some time.

 

[sonic Rainboom mk1]..

I have decided to call my ship the Sonic Rainboom, since I'm aiming to beat Rainbow Dash here. Now to pick a lucky victim volunteer... Genezor! Genezor Kerman has been chosen because he reminds me of that jerk on tf2 that kept ruining our little Heavy party. So. All that is left to do is make a plane that won't immediately explode. I'm listening to "Awesome as I want to be" so I can use all that energy to fly...

 

I have made a ship, that hopefully will not die.

Looking fancy!

 

Let's see if it flies...

[flight #1]

Hey! This thing actually flies! WEEEEEEEW!

Aaand we get heating! It's warming up!

...Bugger.

 

Well, I made it through the heat, but I flew too high, and my engines cut out because they didn't get enough oxygen. I managed to restart my engines, but I had slowed down too much, and now my engines are really weak... I'm stalling a bit... Oh boy.

After speeding up to about 1000 m/s, my ship is getting heat effects again. And my engines are dying again. Well that's nice. At least we now know the Sonic Rainboom mk1 is capable of flight, and can beat Rainbow Dash in pure speed. I just need to land it. I'm on the ocean. Bugger. I'm going to try to land anyway.

So I deactivated my jet engines, and just glided down to Kerbin. The only problem is that it's the middle of the night, and I can't see anything. Luckily I had some lights on my landing gear, so I could see the sea below me. After a not so soft landing, my wings broke, my engines broke, my air intakes broke, but the main hull was intact!

Huzzah!

 

And so We have beaten Rainbow Dash in speed!

 

Sorry if this episode/something was a bit short, I need to do stuff. :/

Next time I'm going to see if this thing can actually steer, because I just flew in a straight line for speed. :D
