Overview

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.
