++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Break in to many tiny pieces would be my guess. The airframe and wing structure was not designed for that much engine weight / thrust / airspeed. If that's the performance you're looking for I'd have an engineer start with a clean sheet of paper or pick a design with those capabilities engineered in to it from the start. Larry Flesner
