I know that this comment is 1 year old and you've probably became a wiser person by now, but that veer is clearly not the result of turning on one engine before the other. The initial spin it gets as a result of that is neutralized and only after it gets going straigh again the plane starts veering to the side again. Probably something to do with the landing gear.

ok but the speed of sound isn't affected by the size of the Kerbol system, so speed of sound would still be sqrt(gamma*R*T), so tho it wouldn't necessarily be the usual 340 m/s of low atmosphere it would probably not be mach 122 checking Earth standard atmosphere tables and assuming similar atmosphere composition, 60 km above Kerbin would probably be similar to ~80 km above earth bc density and pressure, so that gives us a speed of sound of ~282.5 m/s. So based on the fastest speed I saw while watching the video (~4550 m/s), we get Mach 16.1. so pretty fast

It's higher than 12.2, because you are on the tip of the atmosphere. I'm assuming you used the sea level reading of mach 1 to get mach 12.2 from 4200/340. But remember that mach 1 is not constant, it changes depending on the density of the medium. At 70000km the speed of sound is about 290m/s and since you are pretty close to that it should be 4200/290, which is mach 14.5

@@Powderlover1 It's not to measure the speed of the object. It's to know how far away you are from the speed of sound.

The reason why your earlier designs kept veering off runway and unable to take off has to do with your landing leg configuration. If your nose gear is lower than main, or your gears are behind center of lift, that makes it impossible to take off. That is exactly how Space Shuttle looks like and it's ideal for the Shuttle, because they don't want to even be able to go around, but not so much for planes.

Distances aren't 1/10, the scale of the planets is 1/10, and the rest is the same: distances, speed, etc. Still 12.2 is impressive as hell. What you could argue is that you reached a higher mach number because of the speed of sound on Kerbin's atmosphere is lower due to it being less dense (but I still think it's the same density, which is another exception)
