The '''Lockheed SR-71''' is an advanced, long-range, Mach 3 strategic reconnaissance aircraft developed from the [[Lockheed A-12]] and [[Lockheed YF-12A|YF-12A]] aircraft by the Lockheed Skunk Works. The SR-71 was unofficially named the Blackbird, and called the Habu by its crews. Clarence "Kelly" Johnson was responsible for many of the design's advanced concepts. A defensive feature of the aircraft was its high speed and operating altitude, whereby, if a surface-to-air missile launch were detected, standard evasive action was simply to accelerate. The SR-71 line was in service from 1964 to 1998, with 12 of the 32 aircraft being destroyed in accidents, though none were lost to enemy action. | The '''Lockheed SR-71''' is an advanced, long-range, Mach 3 strategic reconnaissance aircraft developed from the [[Lockheed A-12]] and [[Lockheed YF-12A|YF-12A]] aircraft by the Lockheed Skunk Works.

Aircraft help
Startup
- Press } to toggle the master electric switch.
- Press space or s to activate the starter. The engine will spin up to a maximum of about 25% N2 (5.2% N1).
- After reaching 15% N1, rress { to turn off the cutoff to let the engines start. Wait for the EP Ratio needle to come close to 1.1.
- Don't forget to press d to close the canopy.
- Release the parking brake, put the throttle to max and takeoff.
Landing
Braking chute
The braking chute will be automatically deployed if:
- Brake chute doors are opened (Ctrl-b).
- Airspeed is less than 200 kts.
- AGL is lees than 20 ft.
- Throttle positions are less than 0.1.
The braking chute will be released/untied if:
- Airspeed is less than 50 kts.
Remember: it can be used only once. If you want to use it again you have to reload (j).
