@tomas_salvo22 Thanks! That would be awesome

Congrats on your recent flight, it’s very impressive!

I saw high-speed RC aeroplanes are getting attention. Here are some things I built in my garage!

The largest crams a 300N turbojet into a 1m, 8kg aircraft.

I’m ready for a 550-600 mph Guinness World Record attempt, but I’m in the UK and in need of a larger flying range to do this safely.

@bscholl @DJSnM @elonmusk let’s make this an international competition!

@MrJamesMay fancy making a sequel to “Action man at the Speed of Sound”?

Credit to the whole team for their hard work on this journey

@tomas_salvo22 Ignore the armchair engineers, this is awesome (and I say that as a competitor for the record) - excited to see what you build next!

@bscholl The Mach Initiative is another team trying to break this record - please see our latest flight tests below :) (including a few crashes that we learnt from)

Ivan’s progress is also great - excited to see his design evolve!

@bscholl How fast will XB-1 go on its final flight? Will you take it to Overture’s speed of Mach 1.7?

Loved watching the livestream, awesome stuff!

[Matt Lowne @Matt_Lowne]

My cousin is part of the Mach Initiative, a student group currently building a 570mph RC aircraft! Super exciting to see them close in on their first flight, check out their latest video 🔥🔥

My brother is building the world's fastest RC plane lol

This semester I gave my 2nd-year numerical modelling class an assignment on an aerocapture mission to Venus. I was particularly impressed by this model from Daniel Sykes, Max Jones, and Francis Milne. Nice work! #ME20014 @bathenganddes @UniofBath 🚀

@torybruno @AmolSathe007 @smartereveryday Who made this rule, the government or ULA?

[Daniel Sykes @Daniel__Sykes]

@Matt_Lowne @lolspam0988 You know you can make actual lamps which hang from ceilings now

The games changed...

@ajkitson @julia_bergeron I asked the gatekeeper before I got out of my car and he was really chill with it and chatted with us about SpaceX for 10 minutes

[Daniel Sykes @Daniel__Sykes]

@julia_bergeron So glad I went there 2 weeks ago then (especially since I live in the UK)!

We’re opening our doors for social media users to come behind the scenes for the next @SpaceX cargo launch to the @Space_Station, currently targeted for late April. There's ONE DAY LEFT to apply to attend this #NASASocial event at @NASAKennedy in Florida: https://t.co/kxsIa3nmGM
