Description
This is the trainer version of the 1960's Lockheed SR-71 Mach 3 bomber (note the second raised cockpit for the instructor). The SR-71 used unique hybrid engines that gradually switched from turbojets into ramjets as speed increased. As far as I know, the SR-71 is the only example of ramjet technology in a production aircraft.

@Driftloon: Have to disagree with you on the tail - definitely supposed to be slanted (reduces side-on radar signature). But you're right about the rest, I'm afraid it was the limits of Spore. I wish I could have made the windows smaller!

I think its windows are to big and the tail wings are not suposed to be slanted there suposed to be strait they are not bombers or fighters there reconasints arcraft they wouldnot have a gun ethier and the bottom is flat

Excellent reproduction! I will definitely take this apart in the editor a will show Matt (the other half of Orion1004). He's the one who did the lightsabers a does realistic vehicles.
