3D модель пилота сверхзвукового разведчика Lockheed SR-71, из игры Call of Duty: Black Ops.

A tribute to our fathers who flew and maintained the worlds baddest military spy plane!

ModelOverviewSR-71 kit card that was created to showcase a true aviation engineering marvel and is an inspiration for kids and adults of all ages in pursuit of science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM). This particular model uses color and sliced 3D format to really bring a highly contoured airplane to life upon assembly. The kit format is great for gifting the model to engineering clubs, friends, family, or coworkers that enjoy building and showcasing aviation engineering history. The kit includes a stand that is assembled to display the model. Check out the full airplane kit card collection → linked here!  Includes F-16, SR-71, F-117, A-10, Darkstar & more!ProfilesSmall Kit with Framesmall plane kit with frame ideal for gifting to othersLarge Kit with Framelarge plane kit with frame ideal for gifting to othersSmall Model Piecessmall plane without frame ideal for assembly right off the printerLarge Model Pieceslarge plane without frame ideal for assembly right off the printerFilamentAs shown:Bambu Lab PLA BlackOverture PLA Cement GrayOverture PLA Space GrayEsun PLA+ Fire Engine RedTipsModel requires close tolerances to ensure snug but not tight or loose fitMake sure the model cools to room temperature before assemblyEnsure filament is properly calibrated with no excessive over extrusionEnsure good bed adhesionMake sure printer is fully calibratedMake sure print bed is clean & dry (soapy water is my favorite for cleaning - simple & works)Make sure filament is dry (wet filament can generate non-continuous flow that can cause bed adhesion issues)Cooling & Temps - make sure they are correct for your printer, build plate, and filamentAssemblyRemove all pieces from the kitDebur as needed to smooth edgesInsert connector between engine halvesPress engine halves togetherInsert engine into fuselage (snaps together).

All of my models are created by me in a CAD environment. I love to design & print my creations!How can I learn how to make kit card?Learn the tools & keep exploring! (YouTube is a great starting place)The basic steps:Create sketch for each of the major components: wing, fuselage, vertical tail, joints, etc..Create solid bodies using those sketches (extrusions, lofts, etc…)Add any details like blends, fillets, chamfersCreate the stand over the center-of-gravity (note the maker point on the image above!)Fine tune tolerances in the joint (here is where a lot of 3D printing prototyping comes into play!)Add kit frame

Description This is STILL the officially fastest aircraft in the world - to this day.  It was designed by side rule.  Computers didn't exist. No cockpit offers a better view. There was no time to look out the window. The plane knew when your eyes started to wander to the view of earth from 85,000 feet; that’s when something would go wrong. Note the corrugation on the top.  Corrugated airplanes ended with the 1930s.  But it was the only way to keep this thing strong at ultra-hot high speeds.

There were a lot of things we couldn’t do in an SR-71, but we were the fastest guys on the block and loved reminding our fellow aviators of this fact.

Lockheed Martin is ramping up development of hypersonic system technology as observers report the first sightings of a demonstrator vehicle believed to be linked to the Skunk Works’ planned SR-72 high-speed aircraft project.
