trying to overcome the drag induced by a propellor which has its root travelling sub-sonic and its tip travelling supersonic is the main limiting factor in why there is a limit to the airspeed obtainable for a propellor driven aircraft........drag is the biggest factor in Jet aircraft also.....drag climbs by a huge factor as airspeed increases......until we find a way to reduce this drag and raise the power level of our motive force, we will be still travelling around the same speeds as we do now in the air......in the vacuum of space, its a whole 'nother ball game !
and exactly how do you decelerate in an enviorment with no air if u have one little rocket engine pushing the plane forward?(first person to explain this gets a shiny new quater and a shiny new learjet;)
