They are not faster. Props are limited by their own prop drag. The crash from three years ago was an old guy that passed out on the G-forces he couldn't withstand...he had a stroke.

You need to forward your inside information to the NTSB which appears to have assigned an erroneous probable cause - and they failed to mention a stroke:
