I'm assuming that it's just 5 systems in the core plus two control rooms in the same section, as I set up in my example. Using a house rule shouldn't really offer an improvement above this, since at that point you've already got a section of the ship that's essentially an armored bathtub with the pilots inside.

GURPS Spaceships, p. 35, lists how to get Air Performance figures, including vehicle speed. Turbofans have a maximum air speed of 2,000mph (see p. 10 of Spaceships 7). Here's my workup of the design using my spreadsheet.
