GoatBOT Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 Built a SR-71 clone as faithfully as I could and was wondering why I was barely holding Mach 1. Back at the Vab started looking at the thrust numbers and it appears the Whiplash only offers an extra 10 kN of thrust over the J-33 Wheesley leaving it as a bad option as it also weighs .3 tons more!?

Bej Kerman Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 The Panther has the same afterburner thrust and efficiency, but is also a fair bit lighter and can also switch to a more efficient mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoatBOT Posted February 26, 2023 Author Share Posted February 26, 2023 Yes thats a valid option currently but Im looking to have the whiplash viable for the final product. Panther would be my best option currently but for future builds whiplash needs to be corrected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
