Are...are those Canards on the bomber? What the...

Besides that, the ratios are totally screwed up. The 6 engines can't push that type of weight to go past Mach 1, if that.

...247,800 lbs of thrust is enough to make a 360,835 lb aircraft move at mach 2.6... look at the designs of actual aircraft... The B-1B Lancer has a total of 120,000 lbs of thrust for an plane that weighs 477,000 lbs and it can go 900 mph - considering my plane has 2.065x as much thrust for a plane that weighs .75x it means it can go 8/3s as fast as the B-1B... you can figure out the rest...

Mach 1.2 at sea level for the B1b Lancer is alot different than what you're doing here. Besides, 477,000lb is the maximum takeoff. You're pulling a loaded weight of 360,000, while your max is 500,000+. So you weigh more than the B1b Lancer if you want to get into the full calculations, by almost 100,000 extra pounds.
