SR-71 Blackbird and Lockheed YF-12A

[TheKorbinjer]

2 New hypersonic reconnaissance aircraft. 1:1 scale

They both reach their real life top speeds of 2,200 mph (1,100 m/s)

Both have a max altitude of around 22 km, but I've got to around 25 before the engines die. They are very easy to fly, not easy to go into a flat spin though during takeoff it's easy to have a lot of sideslip.

Takeoff speed (both) - 90 m/s, stall speed - 70 m/s

Insane amount of fuel, probably enough to do a round the world flight.

That's a nice looking replica! You can hide struts quite easily inside the wings or you could use the 'auto-strut' feature. It would make for a cleaner overall look.

How is "Auto-strut" used? would be very helpful.

I can't remember if it's a right click option on parts as standard or you need to enable extra editor options in the main settings. Perhaps someone can clarify this.

Yes, it's a right-click menu option that has to be enabled by turning on Advanced Tweakables.
