By ScootMG
I am ScootMG, your aircraft analyst. In this guide, I will be showing you my research results about the top speed of all planes.

This guide is mostly done by In-Game research by myself. I have removed the mods that I was using on Every Single Plane.

I use the superior system, The Metric System (Km/h).

The top speeds were all recorded on level flight (no changes in altitude).

If you want to see the video version, go to my YouTube Video :

It is a really long list, I know :)
Conclusion
These data is, of course, not accurate to the real world. A-10s can't go supersonic.
MiG-31B is the fastest plane because it was designed as an Interceptor.

I prefer making videos rather than guides in steam like this one. (This is my 1st ever guide)

lazy and place need to go too far

Any hints about situations in game where this accurate speed data is useful?

I really appreciate the amount of work that goes into determining this sort of data. :104:

I remember noting down every plane's data on a small sketchbook when I first played Ace Combat Zero over a decade ago. I am glad that I am not the only type of person that bothers to do this stuff, because it's actually quite useful to know the exact speed each plane stalls at and how fast each one is. I am also very happy that this was done on the one true universal and correct system, metric.

I know this is late, but could you also do a test with all the MP engine upgrades as well?

Can u add the 3 new aircraft from Original Aircraft Set (XFA-27, Nosfer, & Shinden)

So the MiG-31B does a base 3107 kmph.

From my quick testing and calculations in the campaign, the upgrade "next gen high-pressure components lv1" adds 10% to the speed. The "variable cycle engine lv1" adds 6,5%. And the queens customs adds 7,5%

But together they only add 17,6%

You loose 26% of the upgrades effect if you use them together.

Sounds about right?
