Griffons equipped with twin-turbocharged jet engines could easily achieve subsonic cruising flight; supersonic and subsonic flight offer two completely different experiences.
Before perfected knight protective gear had been developed, knights had to devise their own methods of protection.
If a knight were a hero, they could construct a magic shield for temporary protection. If not, the flight system, detecting the absence of a shield during afterburner engagement, would automatically disengage supersonic acceleration.
This was a safety measure for Gryphon Knights.
Constructing a teardrop-shaped magic shield was also a significant test of a hero's casting abilities. Whether the shape met the standard determined the ultimate flight speed and energy consumption rate.
With Chui Chui's magical assistance, Yan Xing naturally found it easy to construct a teardrop-shaped magic shield.
