[Stock]Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird

[NetBlitzer]

Hey guys, I've been working on several projects over the past couple weeks, but today I thought I'd make something new. So I tried making the SR-71.

I managed to work out some fixes so this craft is available for anyone who might want it!

Some stats for those of you who want them:

Max ceiling of operation: 17000 to 18000 meters

Max speed achieved: 571m/s after using up the majority of fuel

Fuel load: 1950 liters

Max distance: Around 1000km

Wow! It looks nice and sleek. you could just open the debug menu and allow part clipping, then double up on the back wings, to help with the lift/weight distribution. this would also help with the ability to pull more "gee"s

what is "gee"s?

[NetBlitzer]

what is "gee"s?

He means pull more G-force intense maneuvers. At the moment, before fixing this ship, I've maxed at 13.3Gs, which would put you unconscious almost instantly. The most I've ever done on a plane in KSP was somewhere in the 20's. Usually, more G's equals faster turn times.

I have fixed your craft, but it is a little nose heavy. The highest speed I have gotten is 300 M/S. My highest G is 5.5, wich was caused by the brakes.

Got it all worked out and fixed. I did some of my own balancing to fix the problem, and now the lift is almost perfectly balanced, even when fuel starts burning!

I know it's from 0.17. Are you trying to make me look stupid? Just stop trolling.

I don't see why this thread is bothering you and needs to be locked. Don't like it, don't look at it.

Because you are necroing it.

this is several months old

and it is against the rules to reply to a thread with no activity for over a long period of time.

Know what would be really cool? Aerospikes on the tips of the engines, just like the real plane.

Nice necro.

Really, well done.
