100% electric twin-engine racing aircraft

LOW PHYSICS REQUIRED


STORY

With the emergence of a new category of electric air racing comes the organization of a great race that spans the entire American continent
With the first event being a huge success, the next edition of the event would only feature electric aircraft, to follow the global trend towards zero CO2 emissions
And with that, a lot of teams emerged, with the majority being ultralight makers looking to do some marketing.
One of these was Aravera, an ultralight company that had been standing out in the general aviation and ultralight aircraft market, and wanted to make a "leap" by manufacturing larger aircraft, seeing the event as a giant opportunity.
The model that was the first to fly was the N.1, which achieved good performance but could be greatly improved, but a problem was arising:
the money was running out
The team's original sponsor is gone, and with that, its money too
The project was almost cancelled, but...

Did you really read the cringy story? I don't think soooooooo...

The first model of the plane is this, the second is the R.1, and which, unlike this model, is consistent
Sometimes the maximum speed varies between 500kph and almost 600kph getting worse with altitude
Low physics is required because this plane is on the expert difficulty of the challenge, so it has to be VR compatible, and also because the performance of the electric motors is extremely variable with the physics you are using. For low physics, the engine generates the thrust needed for the performance that I designed to the plane, but on high/medium physics...
The plane can reach the speed of sound, so leave it on low physics!

In flight, this model is 100% normal, just use trim.

Difficulty: Expert
Aircraft type: Prototype
Physics: Low
