You should definitely try building a plane on your own from scratch. 3D printing has advanced a lot and can make som pretty strong, lightweight parts, and it'd allow you to start with a theoretical goal in mind of what speeds you want, and work backwards. It would also let you design in a spot for a camera (behind the windshield?), allow you to hide mechanical parts within the airframe, you could make it modular to test out different wingshapes, etc, build in a place inside the fuselage for the motor to sit so the thrust is inline, and you would probably get an overall better, sleeker exterior, especially since with all the hacks you made to the plane, the skin looked pretty beat up. Also, I'd imagine the aerodynamics the SR71 was designed for are probably different on the models scale. It would be a hell of a lot of work, but I personally would love to see your whole design process. Could make for a cool series! Anyway, awesome vid as always, this series of you trying to push for higher speeds is awesome and makes me think of what it must have been like for the engineers in real life whose job it was to do this stuff.

Yes

3:55 - gotta say, the plane probably has more HP than the car.

SR-71 is/was the most gorgeous plane ever. OK, Maybe the XB-70 Valkyrie was a competitor to that.

Just a quick message, even if you're doing rudimentary smoke tests you want to have the smoke flowing as slow as possible, so that you can see the true impact the fans are having. Having the flow rate that high ruins your ability to actually see what's going on because the air is already accelerated near the speed of the exiting air.

the sr 71 without the inlet spike feels wrong

That looks like the HMS MAJESTIC

REBUILD IT

The Ukrainians might like data on this 😅

You have the start of a new sport. Instead of a pitcher or bowler have the plane release to ball toward the batter. May need a half dozen bombers to keep the game going. 😂

How speed it was?

Any body watching in 2024?

ThrustSSC rc car version

Sounds like BS. Seen RC cars go over 100mph 10-15 years ago.

To make it easier, make it lower to the water and maker in wider snd longer

Can you Build such a airplane by yourself?

If you used 2 jet engines to fit the both sides, It will steer even better

i know how to make it fast... Make it a real ramjet engine trust

You need to create your own wind tunnel if you want to take the series

You need to change the way that the engine receives air.You're creating a low pressure area above the vehicle

While minimizing drag venturi tunnel

Need to add down force to it

Yup you need to go look at some adrian newey's work

You live in the country that is essentially New Zealands motherland lol :) looks fun back home on the motherland :).

This is the coolest thing I have seen today and I have seen many cool things today :).
