Lockheed U2-S "Dragon Lady"

531 sippman  6.8 years ago

A restored and upgraded U2 wreckage retrieved from an unnamed Eastern Europe aircraft boneyard. Ready for service again, as it is now fitted with a stronger engine, extended airframe and modernized systems. Also given a "Knights Red Cross", as it had half of its fuselage and its left wing torn off with twisted metal patterns left behind.

AG8 for Navlights
AG7 for Strobes
Recommended cruise speed at below 25000ft is 475mph. The service ceiling is 70000ft.

Design notes:
-Main fuselage has not been loaded any fuel due to a lack of information on whether we are supposed to or not. The flight time for this plane is 12 hours on a single load, so it is impossible to run out of fuel either ways.
-The main wings clip outside while pitching due to being gargantuan in size and I couldn't figure out how to make connections stronger. I would appreciate to know the fix to this issue.
-There is a slim chance you should bump your rear while landing, therefore precaution is recommended.
