I am informed that you can also prevent the editor rotation axis from moving by using global mode. At least we found an excuse to do some math!

@@Bzorlan Structurally unlikely. It's wings are designed for lift, not speed. There are many accounts of pilots who overspeed only just managing to land with severe damage to wing structure. If any prop could reach mach 2 and live to tell the tale, it's probably something american, built for high speeds and with tougher wings. Something like the late P-51, F7F, late P-38, etc. And only at high altitude too where mach 1 is less than 1000 km/h

With jet powered copters, you can actually make some gains and generate more lift than the jet thrust output.
