Altitude: Over 20,000 meters.

At this point, it was time to kick things into high gear. Tang Rui narrowed his eyes and pushed the throttle forward with his left hand. He pushed the throttle all the way in, and in an instant, the drone's engines unleashed a mighty surge of power.

Mach 1.5.

Mach 2.2.

Mach 3.1.

Mach 4.

Once the speed reached Mach 4, the air entering the intake had reached the engine's required supercharging speed.

The outer bypass doors swung open, and the supercharger turbine ceased spinning. The engine transitioned from subsonic to supersonic combustion, and the acceleration continued.

Mach 4.5.

Mach 5.2.

Mach 6.

As both drones reached a speed of Mach 6, the difference in engines became apparent. The one with system-enhanced control continued to accelerate aggressively, while the other, lacking the enhancement, began to lose acceleration, albeit still gaining speed, but not as rapidly.
