@bscholl Based on your insight/ experience, do you think it is possible to reach Mach 1 with a sub-25kg aircraft? The aircraft can only use airbreathing engines, current technology, and it must take-off and land under its own power (no solid rocket motor as a boost stage, etc)

I recently discovered The Mach Initiative, a group of students building a sub 25kg R/C plane capable of Mach 0.8 at sea level.
Looks pretty hot!

Just one of the many amazing student-led projects here at the University!

Best of luck to the Meet The Mach Initiative as they set out to break the record for the world's fastest syb-25kg drone. 💨
