This was a drone attached to a M21 which evolved into the sr71 at it would launch from the M21 (sr71) we could add it to the sr71 like the an225 with the buran this drone would be unmaned and it did reconaisence it also flew with the Sr71

Looks nice tbh
Ok
it reached speeds of mach3
source wikipedia
and some videos i forgor

ive checked for the first time the trello yay this was not requested or rejected
or stored
also we do not need a lot of info if its going to be static on the b52 or the sr71
more info Length: 42 ft 10 in (13.06 m) Wingspan: 19 ft 0.25 in (5.7976 m) Height: 7 ft 0.25 in (2.1400 m) Gross weight: 11,000 lb (4,990 kg) Powerplant: 1 × Marquardt RJ43-MA-20S4 ramjet, 1,500 lbf (6.7 kN) thrust; Performance. Maximum speed: Mach 3.35; Cruise speed: 2,524 mph (4,062 km/h, 2,193 kn) (Mach 3.32)
Yes
Same
maybe this could perform like the sr-71 but lower range
I seen this irl
Me on my way to completly fail and leak everything about myself to the soviets:
i mean the d21 looks a engine froma sr71
Would definitely make a very cool advanced customization option for the B-52 and the SR-71, but I don't think a standalone vehicle would work out well considering it's gotta have a low range
it doesnt
specified speeds of Mach 3.3–3.5, an operational altitude of 87,000–95,000 feet (27,000–29,000 m), and a range of 3,000 nautical miles (3,500 mi; 5,600 km). The D-21 required a mothership to launch given its ramjet engine, which needed to be air-launched at a certain speed to activate.
the sr had 2824 nautical miles of range and this drone had 3000nm
true ive checked the trello or sugggestions channel and theres no d21
only this one
and also it doesnt have landing gear it would be catched by a c130
in the water
essentially yeah, it was used as a recon drone
maybe as customization options as this thing has no landing gear
thats on an a-12 graaaaaah

the a12 evolved into the sr71 it didcnt changed the body atleast the m21 was the carrier actually but theya re aprt of the sr71 family
and also im not gonna explain all the sr71 lore
if you want more info jsut look it up
and search "d21 drone"
read the message you dumb guy
the first one or subtitle
well that’s rude
it just doesn’t launch from the sr71
people not getting the SR-71 lore and calling themselves aviation fans smh my head
just how the boeing museum wants people to think the m-21 they have is an sr-71
it’s much cooler yeah
it could potentially go faster
assuming you felt like ripping a wing off at Mach jesus
maybe not the m-21 though
a-12
my brother in christ if your plane structurally fails at that speed it will turn into the columbia
Tom cruise survived it 
he woudlve been melted by the friction probably
the
id like to double down on the melting
the temperature of the fuselage would be around 1340 degrees fahrenheit
he literally would’ve been boiled
one problem, this has no gears
that's the reason why the goblin plane was rejected <--- Guess Im wrong lol
Not rejected it's just halted
They're finding a solution for the missing landing gear
Probably something related to being carried on other planes like the b-36 or in this case the blackbird and b-52
I think the better solution without making a new code is using these "gears"
X-15 has a gear but it's only for landing
since it's launched from a plane
the funny gear
god this suggestion has 3 days it still hasnt been seen by a mod or a dev damm
i mean its rare to a plane to spawn mid air some gear
seperate to the plane itself
ramjet go brrr
Imagine being able to use it as a third engine for sr-71
Also potentially extra fuel lol
Yeah
Extra speed and range lol
Precisely
Long range surveillance op? Grab the drone
one week no response
Might as well add all Sr71 variants
A-12 “Oxcart” - slightly smaller, single seater, flies higher and faster(only thing unique is its better flight stats, although not completely necessary)
YF-12 - Intercepter aircraft, maybe new missions for it (not a good idea as it doesn’t really have a use in-game or anything unique)
M-21 - To carry the drone suggested(drone comes with the variant)
or remove drone
all to be as liek the f15c where u need flight time to change it
im gonna suggest the YF-12
I just wanna get good info on it
man
Bump
Lump
better blueprints for the modelers
thank u man i couldnt find some good
also 101th message
bro we need this
im just gonna model it myself
now google what happened to the other M-21
didnt it hit the vertical stabalizer on the 71 or smth
yeah the d-21 released and immediately pitched down and cut the M-21 in half
someone hire this man right now
nice
now beome developer
trust me I know


dead plane
huh

W person, made the model for the devs
now file?
i’ll give if they ask
hopefully they do
me too, i hope developers see this
also it should start immediately like the Leduc 022 since they are both ramjets
bumpalicious bump
IT DOES LOL
what does bump do
send to top?
its not bump that does that its when you talk in the forum it sends it to the top
Drone
Why, it's not my model hence not my suggestion to add one, I can say that we don't have a system for launching such vehicles so it's max is to be SR advanced custom options which is only would add weight hence lowering top speed and reducing range
cool tho
like buran
yep
Alright so
Gimme some front, side and top views on your model please
Also gonna need these side probe thingies
👍
what does that have to do with this
Yes
No
Yes
No
Yes
Nah
Yah
no
Ye
Show topo
The nose seems really dense
yeah it is, i dont know why i made it like that
ngl wonder how shading would look with wings topology
i made it like that becuase i wanted it to be really smooth down teh middle and back
anyway if it's approved it still would require some amount of work and i believe Titanium interested so it's not a big deal, imo looks good enough
keep it up, looks really good
times where "ill do it myself" actually works:
nah, i'd model
Fr
Well I believe it was always like that, if your model good enough it have all chances to get in
Overall looks good, maybe optimise the nose section a bit (as life pointed out)
i did 👍
I'll be interested in adding it, unfortunately I'll be busy in the coming days or weeks
awesome! lmk when/if u want the file

new nose
Looks great
Oh yeah looks a lot better
what's the tris at
like the count?
yes
3k
i need to learn more blender so I can do this
looks like the thing I would make in flyout
real
LoD models be like in aeronautica:
man
Rule 2d
real
fake
true
well i mean this plane wouldnt land.. it would sef destruct
instead of landing so the soviets didnt steal it
the camera with its film would be ejected from the plane and then parachute towards the ground
then it would be catched by a c130
how has this still not get denied or reported
Because it’s in work
yeah i’m waitin on some news
what are you waiting on?
Aeronautica 2 update 
aeronautica sex update
Aeronautica steam release real
i think titanium said he was gonna say smth when he’s not busy
my first "good suggestion"
hyped
100 upvotes yasy

good suggestion
good potential, possible crate plane? 
the problem is that it doesnt have gear... it explodes and ejects his camera and film then those two pieces get catched by a c130 and also it would launch from a m21 its part of the sr family
It’s going to be an advanced livery option for the SR-71
@arctic magnet speeding of which do you think we’ll get different nose options and 2 seater variant in advanced options (along with this if it gets added)
i'd say no
how come?
since someone has to do that, 2 seater wouldn't materialize on its own
and unless you don't have SR blend file you can't actually do that
it keeps kicking me out
still waitin this gets accepted
same
@versed walrus Hey, are you still considering this?
I know you might be busy right now i’m just wondering.
no i think its in the works but not added to the trello
i made it lol
yea but u need to modify the sr71 lol
i think this will come with the sr71 revamp
how so
i mean the m21 is diferent to the sr71 because it had a pylon for the d21
pylon that should probably be light work no reaction
M21 needed a modded sr71
How tf does a livery change a whole ass plane
The base SR-71 is a 2 seater 
advanced maintenance or smth
Advanced customisation
i dont flippin know man
Yeah just don't have any availability for the time being
Alright
this post has been here ro way to much time
js gotta wait
no
why ignore
pain
wdym
devs have been ignoring quite a lot of suggestions
Nobody's ignoring this, I already said I can't accept the drone submission for the time being
a
oh well i say soem random things so i can keep following this
cuz discord unfllows it
js gotta wait
