SR-71

[Clintonious]

I’d like to see a simple, mini and a master build of an SR-71 Blackbird some day. I imagine the mini would be pretty easy, the mini would be fast and the master series… awesome!

Sadly, I don't think they have the time to look at all the suggestions on the forums

Yeah, I agree that that would be...



AWESOME!!!!😁

Quite apart from any weight/wing area issues building a true scale EDF SR71 has a fundamental problem. The inlet "spike" occupies a huge proportion of the inlet area.
To keep a scale size spike would mean using substantial "cheat holes" to ensure the fan got sufficient air or use a much smaller size spike.
However by placing the fan right at the back of the nacelle in the convergent/divergent nozzle it might be possible for the total of all the scale inlets to provide sufficient air to the fan.
Just an idea.

It could also have a pusher prop configuration. Just an idea.

Here is some food for thought.

I think we have become last in their eyes. i think FTCA and Facebook are their priority's

y not create something new something that has not been made a like a concept plane.

Because very few aircraft are as well know and impressive as the SR-71.

Man.

Had the same problems

 

[Mr Man]

Had the same problems

Hmm...

 

[Mr Man]

I've got another Idea

 

[Mr Man]

How about tow the plane up with a large plane, drop it, And ignite two ROCKET ENGINES! 120mph Yeah!

 

[Mr Man]

I doubt anyone's gonna try that no matter how awesome the idea is.

 

[Piotrsko]

Been done, but it is an ungodly logistical pain somewhere for not a lot of success, but sometimes you gotta scratch that itch. Can you fly a small plane suddenly going really darned fast? I cant.

After dropping Shuttle and flying it down, worked on Bell rocket 1, where drop it from transport, let it fly down and across field, then hit D-12 rocket and pull it up and then glide back down.

Knew wing was not large enough for weight, so when nobody at field, very nervous( kept backing up) I fired it. Actually checked controls on way up(slower than my 200 mph Formula 1) and had a sharp landing slope.
