Plausible.... but may be more realistic to find a field house.

While you design, a good library book to read. Kelly Johnson, Sr-71 flights and problems.
Speed The life of a Test Pilot and birth of an American Icon
Bob Gilliland and Keith Dunnavant
Foreward by Chesley "Sully" Sullenberg
My thought is to use props out the front of the "cone" rather than edf... I also have nano servos for elevons...

I am going for the other EZ V2 where I am using only the differential thrust and throttle to see if it flies. The prop version with elevons should go. Edf version's is were the problems lie.
In the book, they talk about flying the A-12.

No Mach 3 in the backyard? There is a really great video from Nickolas Means on YouTube on how the SR 71 was developed and the limitations they had to deal with.
What a great video, thanks!

Idunno, there were typically 2 sets of cutting edge places like the skunk works, one public, one you didn't know. For example there was a sub basement at building 12 hughes clever city, they built the wobbling goblin alongside the stuff at Palmdale, TRW had employees everywhere and teams trying to mislead all over. Macdac even had odd stuff at the long beach airport next to their production facilities for the DC9. Even had places in high bay bldg 350 HAC that I wasn't allowed to be in even with my clearances and a need to be there. You patiently waited outside until what you were after came out to you.

I've wonder what is in the we don't know pile that might be out there creating plasma trails and ionizing the skies. I think it was 10yrs before Have Blue was made public.
