The Lockheed SR-71 "Blackbird"

[LickableIce]

Finnaly I have created a [semi] stable Blackbird that travels extreamly fast. Only three mods required: B-9 areospace and FAR - areodynamic fixes. Modded parts are the engines, the flaps, and the wings (P.wings) The FAR mod is to let it fly far, fast and "smothly". I will try to post updates.

INSTRUCTIONS:

1- Full throtle

2- Press space and engage engines

3- Go full speed and take off using the end of the runway. (Trim may be needed)

4- Fly to 15k - 20k For extreame mach speeds (Hypersonic speeds)

LANDING:

1- Cut engines

2- Safely glide to a lower altitude

3- Make sure to keep speed above ~85 m/s to keep nose up

4- When about 500m away from the LZ and cut engines once more.

5- Glide to a soft landing (less then 90 m/s and vertical speed < 10 m/s).

First flight with the plane:

**Flight with out the flaps and landed on the land mass directly east of KSP**

On the second flight in 14 mins I was able to fly to the island and fly back to KSP, but i forgot to take a SS. D:

**WARNING**: never tested with the air brakes, if plane is unstable then take off flaps.

Only one suggestion, the SABRE-S intakes from B9 look very much like the jackscrew spike intakes from the SR-71's J58 engines.

Sorry if that's what you're using in the first picture I can't quite tell

Actually yeah those are Saver-s engines, but i dont have a good computer so i was using a low resolution... :/

It looks like you did it in about two minutes like you were in a rush, and it also looks kind of cheap. Don't feel bad, it doesn't look CRAZY BAD.

Maybe this would be relevant, if OP hadn't posted more than a year ago.
