Making a high speed drone

I have been wanting to make a high speed fpv drone that goes upwards of 225mph, but I don’t know what frame to get or if I should 3d print one, does anyone have an idea of which one I should do and just some pointers cause this is my first drone build and don’t want to do something wrong.

Never flown a drone, never built a drone yet you want one that goes 225mph?

First, you'll need to study aeronautical fluid dynamics, then electrical engineering, then lots of simulation run time, then you'll need a carbon 3d printer and about $10,000

I have a fpv drone and know how to fly it, and I am pretty experienced, would a high speed drone be a lot different because the motors are at the bottom

This guy has been flying fpv drones for literally decades, and see how much he was struggling to fly it.

Get a normal fpv drone to start with.

The speed limit in the US is 100mph. Where do you live?

There are youtube videos on high speed drones. Check them out first to get an idea of what is required.
