Best service guaranteed Barcode: 089195562227 Features: - True to 1/400 - Highly detailed - Highly collectible - High quality diecast construction - Ready for display - Display in flight - New stylish stand included Known as Blackbird, the SR-71 was a US Air Force (USAF) long-range strategic reconnaissance aircraft that served between 1964 and 1998. Operating at high altitude (24,000m) and cruising at speeds of Mach 3.2, it could simply outrun surface-to-air missiles! The SR-71 was developed as a black project by the Lockheed Skunk Works. A total of 32 aircraft were built, and as testament to its effectiveness, none were ever lost in combat despite being fired on 4,000 times. However, twelve Blackbirds were lost to accidents. Much of the airframe is made of titanium in order to address the issue of high temperatures created by supersonic speeds. The panels were designed for thermal expansion, meaning on the ground they only fitted loosely, before reaching proper alignment in flight. The SR-71 holds the record for the fastest air-breathing manned aircraft when it attained a speed of 3,529km/h, propelled by its Pratt & Whitney J58-P4 engines. The SR-71 was used extensively in combat in the skies over Vietnam and Laos, and throughout the course of its career this revolutionary aircraft completed 17,300 sorties. Dragon Warbirds is releasin" its second 1/400 scale model of the SR-71. This time the aircraft it??s modeled on is ??61-7980??, which bore the nickname ??Rosemary??s Baby-San.?? Assembly of this particular SR-71A commenced in August 1966, and it rolled out in May the following year. Its first flight occurred on 25 September 1967. In 1990 it had a change of ownership when it was handed over to NASA for use in its high-speed research programs. This SR-71 holds the distinction of being the last SR-71 to fly, an event that took place in 1999. This 1/400 scale model is finely detailed and accurately captures the appearance of this sophisticated American reconnaissance aircraft. Shipping and Handling |
