SR-72 in 72 parts!

Finally, i am able to submit a bomber for this challenge. "The entry must be a replica". Despite being a fictional aircraft, but the shape is literally "replicating" the original shape so it should be considered as replica.

My second entry for Name = Part Count Challenge

The DarkStar (also parsed Darkstar) is a fictional hypersonic stealth aircraft from Top Gun: Maverick that was designed by Lockheed Martin's Skunk Works division. It is an exceptionally fast aircraft that can even outrun missiles, but becomes more difficult to maneuver at higher speeds.

It’s a successor to the Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird reconnaissance plane. The bomber features very high speed and has enhanced ASW capabilities since it’s the only bomber that can detect submarines using its sonar and target them using gliding torpedoes. In addition to torpedoes, it’s armed with hypersonic missiles and guided bombs.

[Guidelines]

[Speed]

This plane is the most fastest among my other bombers. It can reach the max speed of 1000 above.

• 100% throttle = Full speed
• 50% throttle = Normal speed
• 30-35% throttle = Balanced speed/precision speed for bombing
• 20% throttle = Landing speed

[Landing]

Unlike my other bombers, this one is the most hardest to landing due to it's speed. It is might be often to your plane become unstable and wonky once you managed to touchdown. Due to it's high speed, the plane is also hard to brake, so use your drag chute to handle your speed.

• Throttle 20% until touchdown
• When you're about to touchdown, open your drag chute.
• Brake immediately to reduce speed, wait until the plane completely stopped.

It is also possible to land the plane without using drag chute, but the disadvantage of it is the plane would take time to stop while braking, and the most often case, the plane might be getting unstable and wonky while reaching touchdown, if this case happen, the usage of drag chute is necessary. It is also requires a perfectly precision speed in order to landing without using drag chute.

• Land like normal
• Once your plane started getting unstable, open your drag chute immediately, it should make your plane getting stable again.
• Brake to reduce speed and stop.

You cannot land this plane in a short runway or an aircraft carrier. You would not be able to do that due to it's speed and hard-time braking. Unless if you're an absolute madlad, try to land this on the aircraft carrier. I am not daring you though but i am not recommend you to do that. Just believe me.

[Armaments]

• 2x TRPD
• 2x SDB
• 4x HSCM
• 80x FLR

[Armaments Guidelines]

[TRPD]

• Torpedo, will launch straight into the front when touching the water surface, do major damage to its target, manually dropped.

[SDB]

• Small Diameter Bomb, do lethal damage to its target, target-guided, must maintain lock on enemy and must precision in order to hit.

[HSCM]

• Hyper-Sonic Cruise Missile, incredibly fast, heavy damage, target-guided, must be locked on enemy.

[Notes]

• I might want to build the UAV counterpart of the SR-72 soon.
• Unfortunately, you just can't reach mach 10 with this plane.
