Hits 1500mph! Same as my V2 except with a slightly longer fuselage. Thanks again to whoever modded the engines and fuselage blocks! Enjoy!
Edit: I now have a new version that performs much more realistically:). 3,000 mph is fun!

That plane never ceases to amaze me, all that's mentioned above plus the fact that every single screw was loose on the ground to compensate for heating.... And all designed with a chalkboard and a slide rule! @Stingray
Yes, those engines stress SP simulation to it's limits. BTW, that's also what the real Blackbird did to real atmospheric conditions everyday it flew -- the titanium wings glowed red in-flight, and the leading edges glowed white when it was at top speed. For the record, top speeds have never been revealed. I do not know how fast it really was. @Fearoflightning
Great plane! I tried those engines and when the SR-71 reached about 1600mph it kind of vibrated apart......:)@Stingray
@Fearoflightning Amen to that. The real article has dual-cycle conventional jet/ram jet functional engines. The ram effect cuts in above Mach 1. My latest post Gen 6 Recon Mach 4 has dual-cycle engines in a quasi-F22 body. Check it out, you may want to borrow these engines.
Quite unlike the real thing I must add:) @Stingray
Those j58s were awesome... @lowobservable
Only plane that looks semi-realistic with the crazy shock diamonds from the modded engines
Nice looking, easy to fly!
Thanks! @GravityGun913
Very nice :)
