Description

The Lockheed Martin SR-71 "Blackbird" is one of the most unique and iconic aircraft of all time. Developed in the 1960s to fly faster and higher than all other aeroplanes and missiles of the time, the SR-71 holds world records for sustained altitude (85,069 feet) and speed (2,193.2 mph / 3,529.61 km/h / Mach 3.3). With the E-flite SR-71 Blackbird Twin 40mm EDF, you can own a replica that's scaled to be practical for more RC pilots to afford and fly. It's compatible with popular 4S 2200mAh batteries and is equipped with exclusive Spektrum AS3X and optional-use SAFE Select technologies to make it the easiest to fly Blackbird yet.

Optional-use fixed landing gear with a steerable nose wheel makes it easy to taxi, take off, and land on smooth surfaces, or you can leave the gear off for more speed and vertical performance when flying over grass. It arrives factory-finished and nearly ready to fly right out of the box to offer an authentic SR-71 flying experience.

The SR-71 Blackbird is propelled by factory-installed brushless power systems, featuring 40mm fans with high-RPM outrunner motors. This twin power system is precisely engineered to deliver an exceptional blend of performance and flight time when paired with popular 4S 2200mAh 30C+ batteries, ensuring exhilarating speeds and agile flight dynamics.

The SR-71 Blackbird is engineered for longevity and resilience. Its EPO airframe features moulded-in panel lines and scale surface details, complemented by plastic-reinforced fuselage chines and composite reinforcements. This construction ensures the model is both lightweight and exceptionally durable, making it easy to maintain and providing the best possible flying experience.

The SR-71 Blackbird Twin 40mm EDF is designed for ultimate convenience. It comes nearly 100% factory-assembled, with only the vertical fins needing to be snapped into place. With its factory-installed receiver, you simply bind your 5+ channel Spektrum™ DSMX®/DSM2® equipped transmitter, and you're ready for immediate flight, streamlining your path to the skies.

The SR-71 Blackbird boasts a superb factory-applied and fully-painted finish with decals, faithfully replicating the iconic “Habu” trim scheme of 17958, complete with an optional nose decal. This attention to detail creates a visually striking model that not only performs well but also serves as an exceptional display piece, reflecting its legendary inspiration.
