Sr-71 Blackbird

First things first, this aircraft is special to me as it is mine and my fathers favorite aircraft. Anyways, history will be below controls. Have you ever downloaded an SR-71 and realized it didn’t even hit mach 2? Well worry no longer! This rendition of the SR-71 Blackbird is fully mach 3 capable! Warning for headphones users, it’s noisy! Take off: Speed up to %100 and lift off. When you hit 1200mph the activate Ag1 for mach 2 capabilities. Once at 1800mph activate Ag2 for mach 3 cababilities. Landing: Go to %25 and slow to %0 just before touchdown, Ag 3 for parachute and pul back to brake. Only armed with a camera. History: The SR-71 was invented by the company Lockheed Martin and within that company a man named Kelly Johnson inveted the aircraft. This historical aircraft was made during the cold war when sattelites hadn’t yet become useful and google earth didn’t exist. This aircraft was basically an in-atmosphere rocket. It had mach 3 capabilities and probably further beyond, the true top speed is classified as it is easier to make a missile fast enough to take something down when you know the speed of that something. The SR-71 also no longer used traditional aluminum, it was made of titanium and coated in radar reflective alloy. Every surface of this aircraft is designed to reflect radar, from the cones on the engines to the flat underbelly. This was a true stealth plane. Fast enough to outfly bullets and missiles alike, the SR-71 was a prime surveilence aircraft. It flew over Russia many times during the cold war era and gathered information. It also flew over Isreal and Gathered information there so the United States could see how many tanks planes and troops the isrealies needed. Throughout the entire time the SR-71 served, not a single pilot or radar officer died onboard an SR-71. The SR-71 is also the fastest plane ever constructed to this day. (April, 6, 2019)
