Why do the chinks and russians like to brag about hypersonic missiles? The US has been flying naturally aspirated jet planes that are as fast as hypersonic missiles since the 1960sEven still neither one can grow the metal crystal fan blades made out of one crystal required to handle the heat and lateral strain today.
What american jet operated at hypersonic speeds(mach 5)?
>>537578073Darkstar hit mach 6 publically
>>537577619sure, US planes could serve as (expensive) hypersonic missilesnot the fastest ones, but it would work
>>537577619Most countries that have built spaceplanes have? Both countries are capable of manufacturing single crystal fan blades? The difficulty of developing hypersonic weapons lies with the complications with guidance associated with the development of the plasma sheath at hypersonic speeds.
>>537578232The chinese struggle to produce turbofans for their regular jets and passenger planes and thew russian late model fighters are delayed due to the fanblades
>>537578340There’s more to aero engine design/manufacture than turbine blades. Yes, they are not as competitive with regards to fuel efficiency and mtbf as western engines but neither metrics are that relevant for inherently single use missiles. Also most hypersonic engines are mostly ramjets/scramjets not turbines.
>>537577619Blackbird remains one of the most gorgeous planes ever built.
>>537577619>The USA has planes that go 8000mphThe current state of NAFO Troons
>>537577619that things not hypersonic... even in usaf terminology.but dudethat thing was designed on paper, no computers even really existed.>T. was a kid when auto cad was still 2d helping my dad find decimal notation errors on prints
>>537578138Citation needed.There's two publicly acknowledged Darkstars, one was an experimental recon drone that crashed on its second flight and was scrapped, and the other was a movie prop for a Tom Cruise movie that never actually flew.
>>537578626gayest thing to come out of darpa, I want scramjet pilots igniting the atmosphere from external heating
>>537583336What are you trying to prove?
The ISS travels at 17,000 mph
>>537583474That he shouldn't have used the word "publically".I'm sure burgerglowniggers have hypersonic planes, but none of them are public.
>>537583498Tiangong is gonna be up there a lot longer than the ISS, that shit is falling apart. It should have been replaced, but the west had given up on space for decades. Also the core of the ISS is a literal soviet built core intended for Mir 2.>>537577619>tfw no replacement for the X-15the world sucks
>>537583588hypersonic is a speed, that's why the ruskies put conventional weapons on top of an icbm and called it a hypersonic weapon. shysters
The variable geometry of the SR-71 is insane. And all the extra steps of over-engineering it just so it can go super fast, very American.
>>537583498My bike goes faster than 17km/h
>>537583920Blah blah blahFunny how shit built by straight white men 60 years ago were tech marvels at the time. Now we got overpriced aircrafts that women fly into mountains
>>537577619>West creates cool new technology.>East lies about their technology being better.>West figures out how to make even better technology.Repeat this until US is 40 years ahead technologically speaking.I think if we worked closer with the Chinese and Japan we could fix many of our infrastructure issues. But not while there's so much internal corruption and anti-american sentiment.Get rid of that internally then work on outside relations, make a better world.
>>537578686pure sexocant believe they made this in the 60s!
>>537578686This is the most beautiful plane ever made in my opinion.
>>537587032Nah this is. I'm so sad it never went into production.
>>537587127Forward swept wings are COOOOOOOOOOOL
>>537577619USA couldn't even beat Iran, you're a bigger laughing stock than Russia at the moment
>>537577619a hypersonic missile just flew over my house
>>537583336I forgot that the TBCC propulsion system wasn't officially called darkstar and was part of the son of blackbird projectThough the X-43A is hitting mach 9.5
>>537587127Lockheed had plans for that plane in 1939 but the US wouldn't give them the money because they didn't think the metallurgy was there for the engine.I'm pretty sure the guys at skunkworks were from the future
>>537587830And the B-2 spirit prototype flew in 1947
>>537577619>The US has been flying naturally aspirated jet planes that are as fast as hypersonic missiles since the 1960sNot really. "Hypersonic" is considered 5+, the SR-71 and XB-70 were only 3+.We did have the Sprint missile, which I think still holds speed records. Problem with it was that it was short-range because it got white hot and started to melt due to atmospheric friction and heat transfer.
>>537577619United States intelligence used ChatGPT and killed innocent Iranian girls in a school. Literally eating crayons and sniffing glue. Now you hide under the veils of air supremacy because your yellow duckies in the water cant do shit against hypersonic missiles. Dont worry apparently the toilet issues and the laundry room fired will happen before you can respond. Unitee States military bases, there are none no more.
>>537583680>Tiangong is gonna be up there a lot longer than the ISS, that shit is falling apartWell yeah, the ISS has been up there since the 1990s.>Also the core of the ISS is a literal soviet built core intended for Mir 2.Which is exactly why it's falling apart -- the Russian-built modules that Clinton farmed out to Russia (to keep their scientists and engineers employed so they wouldn't create nukes and chemical weapons for the Norks and Libyans and Pakistanis) are complete shit.Fuck's sake, the retarded Russians delivered a new module just a few years ago, and the moment it was attached to the ISS, all of its engines started firing at maximum thrust, trying to deorbit the station. The US government never outright stated that it was intentional sabotage to try to destroy the ISS, but I don't see what else it could have been.
>>537588558What's wrong with killing Iranian children? Its about time we finish leonidas's job
>>537583920>The variable geometry of the SR-71 is insanewatUnless you're talking about the inlet cones, but those are pretty straightforward. The F-15's intakes are also articulated.
>>537577619>The US has been flying naturally aspirated jet planes that are as fast as hypersonic missiles since the 1960sNo naturally aspirated engines have ever reached close to supersonic speeds, US or otherwise.
>>537588558They shouldn't be in the school after 5, Muslim girls mature fast. They can marry at 6
>>537588649Kike detected. I hope you get droned to death some day.
>>537588774wat
>>537587318US should bomb finland for trying to act tough
>>537588683>'pretty straightforward'He is referring to the inlets which are just forward part of the entire A-12 / SR-71 quasi ramjet propulsion system; a much more complex installation than any cold war era fighter jet (all of which from the 1950s onward had variable inlet geometry of various configurations cones/ducts). The A-12's power plant and nacelle controlled flow not just through the J58 engine itself but also around it and bypassing it. It was a unique hybrid turbojet-ramjet system design and not comparable to any other jet aircraft or jet powerplant.
>>537577619Jet engines aren’t naturally aspirated retard
>>537589005Pretty much this>>537589417The air is too thin to generate the power needed by naturally aspirated engines. They all have some form of power adder
>>537577619Ya but Iran's stuff is cheap and wins wars. The USA's stuff is expensive and loses wars. The military industrial complex really shot themselves in the foot by stealing all that money and then losing the wars.
>>537588774>>537589005>>537589695>>537589695>'naturally aspirated'No such thing. OP doesn't know what he's posting about. What he *meant* to say was ___air breathing___ jet (engines) / drawing contrast between air-breathing jet engines, and chemically-fueled rocket engines. But OP is too illiterate to express himself.('aspiration' is a term referring to internal combustion piston engines and different methods of air intake for those)
>>537587032Hideous. Gets instantly mogged by the Peacemaker
>>537577619What speed does an icbm travel at?
>>537591376About three fifty
>>537577619so when are you guys making a working hypersonic missile then?
it's called propaganda. they shilled the sneedmata for 10 years.
>>537591850We’ve been making them since the 1950s, actually 1949 to be precise…
>>537588683See >>537589318Yes, if the cone was too far forward it didn't hit the intake right and could stall the plane. Too far inside the intake and it couldn't go fast enough. Moving the cone caused air pressure differences over the engine, changes in pressure over the tiny pressurization outlets had to be accounted for. The engineering involved was immense. There were different problems applied to flying it at different speeds. And they had to carry a system on board to restart the engine using a special fuel and they only had enough to use it about a dozen times.I'm a fan of simplicity and elegance, not "fuck you I'm going to hit you with billions of dollars until you work". But honestly I really like that plane.
>>537577619It's too big imo
>>537593992How the concord dealt with air entering the engine at sonic sppeds
>>537594263
>>537578686>>537586815Less time elapsed between the Wright Brothers first flight and the SR-71's first flight than the time between the SR-71's first flight and today.
>>537594822Checked. End of the Cold War and the browning of the West. Give it time, I’m still hopeful we can fix it
>>537587127It was abandoned because forward swept wings are garbage.
>>537577619SR-71 topped out at Mach 3. Not hypersonic. It was made out of Russian titanium. Any faster than that and you need a scramjet. The Blackbird's turbo-ramjets required a subsonic inflow at all times and bypassed the turbines completely at speeds above Mach 2. The SR-72 probably features a hybrid scramjet design allowing it to achieve speeds in excess of Mach 5.>>537587561the X-43 is unmanned>>537591376Since ICBMs have a ballistic trajectory, they are easy to intercept. The most dangerous aspect of hypersonic glide vehicles isn't their speed, it's the fact that they can turn. Some of Iran's re-entry vehicles feature rocket propelled third stages that achieve the same effect more cheaply and elegantly.
>>537594263>>537594296>Concorde engine nacellesAlso correct. Supersonic cruise for extended periods requires that the air flow(s) through and around jet engines be precisely controlled.
Hypersonic is a range of speeda missile is an aerodynamically maneuverable projectile capable of making meaningful course changes/correctionA hypersonic falling space capsule is not a hypersonic missile.You basically know exactly where to meet it with interceptors the moment it leaves the atmosphere.
>>537596053We’ve had maneuverable hypersonic missiles for over half a century
>>537596424You're a stupid fucking kike worshipping shitskin retardYou aren't a humando not bother humansyou fucking subhuman shitstainFuck off back to your containment board you fucking retarded piece of shit dog faced kike.
>>537596424This is what you look like you fucking subhuman shitstainfucking absolutely fucking disgusting.You're a fucking disgrace for even attempting to mimic human activity.
>>537577619>The US has been flying naturally aspirated jet planes that are as fast as hypersonic missiles since the 1960sand yet you cant build hypersonic missiles? ugh we lost the tech bro, it was totally real i swear
>>537594917this.. NASA and Lockheed tried that stuff and determined it was retarded.
I think the bot broke
>>537593992>And they had to carry a system on board to restart the engine using a special fuel and they only had enough to use it about a dozen timesAn engine shutting down was called an "unstart," and when it happened the plane would yaw violently to one side."Roger, Center. Descending to 750."
I forget which model kit company it was, but way back just after the SR-71 had been declassified this company released an SR-71 kit. Along with the exotic Blackbird was a strange and even more futuristic looking thing riding on the back of the plane: the D-21 drone.This caused a mad fire drill scramble in the warehouses and out in the model stores, because while the SR-71 had been declassified, the D-21 drone seen riding on the back of the model Blackbird...had not.Oops.
>>537578232Lmao, what do you think the space shuttle is during re-entry
>>537596591non whites seethe when they are still in disbelief at the achievement of whites without kikes and niggers dragging them down. Russia could develop hypersonic missiles in a declining empire while Chyna needs to copy everything it can from whites.
>>537600460That's just what white culture does. Opens their society up to be negrofied and kiked.
>>537600197I heard about that drone. Apparently it could apparently be fitted to carry a small nuclear warhead. >t. Knower of the REAL reason for the space shuttle
The sr72 was funded and was said it would be ready to fly in 2025 before lockheed said no such project exist. It is literally a mach 9 penetration bomber
decommissioned
>>537600197>>537600937>SR-71It wasn't and that kit is inaccurate. As pictured in OP, the Lockheed D-21 was mounted on the back of a modified *A-12* which was the Central Intelligence Agency's airplane. A-12 was—like the U-2 preceding it—a project conceived and contracted, built for the CIA as a photographic overflight aircraft. Meaning: it had a huge camera behind the pilot with which it was specifically mission-designed to *overfly* enemy target territory for images. The M-21 drone launch aircraft was a modified A-12 with a second launch control officer crewseat in place of the gigantic recon camera right behind pilot.The United States Air Force became interested in the CIA's top secret A-12 project 1962-63 not only as an interceptor variant armed with missiles (YF-12A) but also a separate, differently configured multisensor reconnaissance aircraft that became the SR-71, which was heavier, slower, about eight feet longer, had a revised forward fuselage shape, and completely different electronic sensor and camera equipment (the CIA's A-12 had just 3 huge optical cameras and 1 pilot).SR-71 first prototype, and the M-21 / D-21 drone combo, each separately made their first flights on 22 December 1964. (One from Palmdale in California, and the top secret M-21 / D-21 from Groom Lake) Picrel and OP pic are 1964-12-22tl/dr All of the model kits with D-21 drone have an 'SR-71' carrier plane which is not correct and doesn't look-appear correct. Wasn't even the SR-71's mission let alone ever occurred
>>537595813Speeds that high a near useless for planes. Because you can only fly in a straight line. The turn radius gets so big that any form of maneuvering becomes impossible.
Jello I am ukraine defense manPlease investing 9 billion dollar american and I will make for you fastest ludicrous speed missile. Please send to post office box 1 Tel Aviv.
Blackbirds at Beale.
>>537577619Because they are very difficult to defend against. They pose a legitimate threat.
>>537577619You niggers can't build shit like that anymore since all your Operation Paperclip german scientists are dead
>>537603112Guess you didnt see the movieWe got Hidden Figgers nowAnd shit
>>537603193hopefully they declassify more cool shit
>>537577619Most things targeted by missiles are not planes, so there is little correlation.
>>537594173the engines are very thirsty. pretty much the entire fuselage is fuel tank.
