Like with the Thunder Queen? You do not know its mass and you do not know the power of the engines so how can one be sure that it can hit 950 kph? It could easily be too heavy for its engines to get to even 600 kph. :)
The Thunder Queen isn't all that ambitious by comparison to some of the others.
Keep in mind that I was basically writing a proposal, years ahead of time, and had no idea what other people were doing. I mean, at the time I wrote this, Hrolf was still running Germany (and not talking much about future planes), Italy was still active under Red Admiral, and I wasn't even running France or Russia. So "the way forward" wasn't clear, and so most of the later planes are rather sketchy in nature.
If it helps, think of things like this:
- Spartan Stormrider = Ryan FR Fireball
- Roth Aero Thunder Queen = Me262 or Meteor
- Spartan Bullet = de Havilland Vampire
...one problem I see is that you significantly alter things
... actually re-reading everything, when Brock said "As I've said multiple times now, the specs need rework to take into account how Wesworld has actually preceded." that was actually the first time that he mentioned that the specs need to be reworked.
Some of the performance specs are probably a tad ambitious, particularly with regard to max speeds.

So multiple times = 0 times just like 2x2=5 and 7x13=28...
