High Speed, High Altitude, Sr-100 Concept

[theapacolypse]

My concept may simply be the result of another project which I'll show on a more appropriate forum. When 1/100th scale Sr-71 nose meets the rear fuselage of an F/A-18D.

In addition for widening the rear fuselge for RAM Jet by-pass ducts, ECM etc. I scratch built the cockpit, vectored thrust nozzles,...

and the darkend portion directly forward and between the intakes - is the view port for the rotating lens system camera battery.

I incorporated the crossed tail design for added horizontal stabilization

I 'm sure she'd need alot more (like a good Digital F.B.W. system), but It was a meare attempt @ a manned alternative to a high speed, high altitude, high risk, real time, rapid reponse, intelligence loop, fall back tool. Whew!

Please be honest, & TIA!!!  


P.S. - Deepest appologies! - Meant for "completed builds" forum

Paint her up in USCG orange and white and you've got something that'll make me find a 1/100 SR-71 so I can copy you.
