more engines

315 m/s is about 1134 km/h, could be your problem isn't so much mass as it's drag

#

You're flying at about 2246m, which is just 7368 feet altitude, that means you have a lot of air to push against at that speed

i added more air intakes and it seemed to help about it fly to around 330 m/s but i cant really go faster

I'm convinced there is a drag bug in game, which noone reported yet. That cargo bay simply just not shielding, i get the same thing, can't get past the speed of sound. You can only go faster if you ascend over 10.000m, so there is less air. But even getting there wasts a lot of fuel, and it's annoying.

#

It's hard to spot or catch it because they have taken the tools to measure drag now......But i get the same thing. Try out the Mk3 plane cargo bay, i managed to build pretty good cargo plane. This circular cargo bay is bad

#

I don't even know how to report this. "Plane goes slow boo hoo"

try putting nose cones in the inside. this is the only way this plane can go past 300 m/s, proving my point that the cargo bay is not shielding

#

and i only used 4 rapier engine. it only has 0.425 TWR

it was the wign design i think but idk

#

Does it work when you remove the rocket from inside?

karmic warren
#

yes but it moved slowly upward or downward a little bit

#

it still works fine tho with a rocket inside or not

#

whenever i play again ill prob remove the front nose cap and put like a nose cone cause fireing the rocket from inside never worked i had to open the whole thing
