SR-71 Blackbird

24.9k lemoose  one month ago

Ready to go Mach 3+? Start by taking off at your favorite airport. As you gain altitude and go supersonic, the inlet spikes will start auto-retracting and the the J58 begins to bypass the compressor stage. You'll soon reach speeds in excess of Mach 3 at altitudes above 70,0000 feet- faster than any missile in the game.

The published top speed of the Blackbird is around Mach 3.2, but Blackbird pilots often mentioned that there was plenty of throttle left even at those speeds. Likewise, this Blackbird is capable of cruise above Mach 3 without full throttle. Give it full throttle to see for yourself what the true top speed of this machine is.

Activation Groups:
1- Open canopy
