[stock] SR-71 Blackbird

[Servo]

Lockheed's Speed Demon

Los Angeles Center, Aspen 20, can you give us a ground speed check?

 

It's a plane that doesn't need an introduction, so I'm not going to bother with one. You know it, you love it, it's the fastest thing on two wings and a jet engine you can fly, and has been for fifty years.

I somehow hadn't built a SR-71 before this, but the time was right to give it a shot. I tried to keep the part count down as much as I could while still making a high-quality build. 

This resulted in a 548 part count build (not great, but unavoidable for a plane as large as the SR-71), that flies great (Mach 1 capable. It's not Mach 3, but that's difficult with stock aero)

I was waiting for someone to do It, of course It was you!  It was time

Some things to be improved, Its missing the outher wings wavy shape (you can see It looking from front view) . I would redesign the Wing part of the nacelles (near the intakes)  It has a strange curve, but could be Just the pick.

Its Hard to admit, but looks better than mine XD well done!
