Default RE: Super prop plane

A turbine can never break the glider speed record in the states as the AMA limits turbine speed to 200MPH.

On the vapor, we can't get the singularity because no model I am aware of can obtain speeds near that of sound, so a vapor cone isn’t going to happen. But has anyone actually seen vapor formation like on the top of wings during high G maneuvers?
