First, the two aircraft continue to climb to an altitude where they can engage in aerial combat.
It seems that they are trying to get as high a position as possible to make the first strike.

Certainly, in general, it is advantageous to take a higher position.
It is because it is easier to take an advantageous position because of the additional speed at the time of descent.

However, the two planes that had been battling each other so much yesterday, the pilot's Golem had learned the habits of its opponent.
Yes, even golems have their own habits.
Some of them are caused by the lack of perfect symmetry in the structure, and others are due to the difference in clearance and errors during the manufacturing process.

However, there is no doubt that the quirks do exist. Even ...... Reiko and Lao-kun.
What sets Reiko and Lao-kun apart from other golems and automata is that they know their own habits and can use them against them to create opportunities for their opponents.

Let's take a break.
The altitude of the two planes exceeded 6,000 meters.

The small airship cannot keep up with them and has lost sight of them.
However, the two finalists' excellent engines seem to still have enough power to keep up with them, and they continue to gain altitude.
The two planes continue to climb higher and higher into the floating clouds.

The ice particles hit the windshield (canopy) and blocked the view.
The speed is about 400 km/h. Even with Golem's eyesight and reaction time, it took 0.5 seconds to respond.

That is when the accident occurred.
The wings of the two planes, which were flying side by side, collided with each other.
Unfortunately, the auxiliary wings at the wingtips became entangled and caught.

There is no doubt that the auxiliary wings would be torn off if they were forced to separate from each other.
However, with one of the auxiliary wings inoperative and the two planes entangled in each other, proper flight is not possible.
The two planes broke through the clouds and began to descend in a wide arc toward the ground.

The two planes are entangled with each other and continue to descend steeply in a frenzied state.
The two planes continued to descend steeply in a tangled, cone-twisting state. The images sent from the two planes were so dizzying that the viewer felt as if he or she were going to get drunk.

The speed of descent exceeded 800 kilometers per hour. It seems that for some reason the throttle had failed as well.

It is the same as the fact that a metal object is more likely to be frosted outdoors.
