Just a quick upload of something that I'm working on for a bigger project. It's quite a simple project but I liked how it turned out anyway so I decided to share it. The SR-71 was a strategic reconnaissance aircraft which was capable of reaching Mach 3+. It holds the record for the fastest air-breathing manned aircraft since 1976 (3529.6km/h or 2,193.2 mph).
