In the case of the high equivalent air speeds at high altitude which Lieutenant Schneidler mentioned, he has introduced super-and hypersonic complications. Nevertheless, I believe the average jet-fighter air frame, modified as I have suggested, could readily withstand the high Q of a safely subsonic 600-mph-plus run through near-sea-level air densities to set a new land-speed record.
