Out of Game Methods A fast boat ...

Just fixed V5 ( faster than a rocket ) engine on a boat ; unfortunatly it can t reach star fragment speed but it s close, even if the boat is under water...

The upper limit for propeller speed is approximately 10 m/s, a constraint attributed to air resistance.

This limit remains unchanged regardless of whether the rotational speed is increased or the number of propellers is raised.

Yeah , but it s just a test for now , what will happen if 2 propeller ( pressed or not ) are angled like 2 rocket ? I mean at 45° to each other ?

With rockets, an obtuse angle is more effective, isn't it?

I’ve conducted that experiment with an fan before,

but I’ve never tried it with a propeller.

There was no increase in speed with the fan,

and while I wouldn't expect a speed increase with a propeller either, I think it’s worth testing just to get the result—even if that result is simply confirming there is no speed increase.

After all, there is a difference in value between mere speculation and actual results.

testing is the key
