The Darkbird is not an SR-71. But it is inspired by it, and kinda looks like it. Darkbird goes fast. Kind of like a Blackbird. Coincidence? Worth noting about this Blackbird-inspired plane: The thing is pretty squirrly. You'll have to really struggle to land it in one piece. Also land with a bit of throttle, it stalls at a pretty high-speed. And its elevators are in the vertical stabilizers as any other configuration I tried resulted in undesirable control.
