Fun fact: when setting that speed record, the SR-71 suffered a flame out in one of its engines. Pilots chose not to abort and gunned it anyway. Which means the fastest (declassified ) recorded speed of an SR-71 was set with one engine.

@@dominicarps715 aviation geek club article. "To set the Absolute Speed record, Joersz and Morgan, flying in Blackbird 958, had to cross the electronic timing gate, travel the twenty-five kilometer course, cross a second timing gate, turn around, and repeat the course from the opposite end to negate the effect of winds. The crew had an unstart-Blackbird-speak for an engine shutdown-just after crossing the timing gate on the second leg while flying at a speed of Mach 3.3. “On an unstart, the aircraft yaws and the nose pitches up,” Joersz noted. “There is a five-step checklist to get the engine relit. I knew I had to keep the nose down to stay in the 150-foot box, so that’s what I concentrated on. By the time we’d gone through the checklist, we’d already passed the second gate. Still, we exited the gate at Mach 3.2.” Keep in mind this is one of the few SACTIONED airspeed records. Meaning this is what Guiness would go by. Declassified FOI documentation shows Mach 3.4, 3.43, 3.5 and 3.48 records for separate high-speed runs.

The Blackbird didn't refuel after launch due to a foreshortened fuel load. It refueled due to an intentional designed leak. Titanium, like all metals, expands as it heats up. The problem is that it would have expanded to the point of causing catastrophic failure of the fuselage. Therefore, Kelly Johnson's Skunk Works designed the fuselage with loose-fitting panels and seams which would leak on the ground, then expand and seal those leaks once the aircraft reached its inflight operating temperature. THAT'S why they needed to refuel after launch.

I love Poland paraphrasing Picard.

IMO, the best facts about the SR71 are 1: the procedure for missile evasion was to go full throttle and outrun the missile, and 2: the whole plane was designed with slide-rule technology. It set and maintains those records without computer designs.

To this day I call shenanigans on that reported top speed of 3.2. It went faster. My favorite sr-71 story is when one had engine troubles over France, and of course it was not a publicly known flight so when he dropped altitude and slowed down he was intercepted by something the french had at the time, like mach 1. something so thats pretty much anything. they told the blackbird pilot that if he did not identify himself he would be shot down for violating their airspace. In the meantime he had sorted out his engine troubles, so he flipped them off and punched it. He was already out of France's airspace before they could do anything about it. classic.

"You may test that assumption at your earliest convenience," man haven't heard that since TNG. Also, I would love to have one of these on the F-18s

"You're allowed to test that assumption at your earliest convenience" if anyone ever said that to me that's a huge NO.

Poland has been saying FAFO for a very long time now. USA saying we wish a MoFu would.

That 2193.2 mph is just the unclassified record btw. Ask any SR71 pilot and they will all say “yeah, it’s faster than that”.

1:43 I don't believe it was due to added weight. Rather, because of the intense heat the SR-71 was exposed to, the design had to compensate for the expansion the titanium airframe experiences during supersonic, high altitude. As a result, when the 71 was on the ground, it leaked fuel like a stuck pig. So the SOP was to fill it up last, at which point the 71 immediately took off. Even though they wasted no time in getting it off the ground, they still lost a lot of a fuel due to the gaps in the frame. Once the 71 got to speed and the airframe warmed up to the point that the airframe no longer had gaps in it, the 71 would rendezvous with a tanker to be fueled properly, at which point, it would finally proceed to its mission. So... SR-71 pilots literally took off with a giant hole in their gas tank.

@MrGentlemanGG_

Жыл бұрын

You did miss one thing if I’m not wrong, either that or an inaccuracy but I digress. The Sr-71 was built with a full body fuel tank in order to give as much space for fuel as the maximum weight could accommodate. When being built Lockheed Martin didn’t want to waste weight or space on fuel tanks so they gave the Blackbird a full-body fuel tank if that’s what it’s called, and that’s where the expansion of titanium plays into that. Don’t quote me on too much of this as I may be wrong, but if I end up being right then applause to me

I love the SR 71 and I’m polish. This was perfect. „Thats Polish for fuck around and find out” really got me laughing 😂

I had privilege of working with engineers of that era (not the skunk works but equally bat shit crazy designs that are classified to this day) and those were different people, seriously thinking in completely different terms !

when i was an engineer at NGC, B-2 production was already over. and my department was already working on what would be the B-21 raider. today, i’m 100% sure they are working on the successor to the B-21 raider.

Just one point, the titanium contracted and expanded depending on temp, that meant that on the ground the fuel tank would leak which was one of the other reasons they’d take off and refuel

"no your radars just suck" has the same energy as your imaginary watch is fast

Speaking of aircraft specific stories, you should do a video on how Russia freaked out over the XB-70 Valkyrie and build over 1000 sub par Mig-25 Foxbats to intercept an aircraft that never went into production. And then how the US freaked out when they saw the Mig-25 and thought it was a super fighter, then build the absolute death machine that is the F-15 to counter it. Only to later learn that the Foxbat was really bad after we got one from a Russian defector. More than a few opportunities to dunk on the Russians

I would love to see Russian weapons just go on 'tv' and while talking about how great they are blink in Morse code for 'save me please I can't do anything or they throw me in gulag'

The reason blackbird took off low on fuel is it was designed to leak fuel. The expansion rate of the titanium is too great so they made the tanks purposefully leaky. Once airborne as the friction heated up the skin of the aircraft it would seal up the tanks. Sealants were tried but would all ultimately fail. The reduced fuel loadout for TO was more to keep the abort weight low incase an engine flamed out. It reduced stress on the brakes, tires and landing assembly.

The best part of the SR-71 was what it called "evasive maneuvers." Any time someone fired a missile at them, they'd just floor the accelerator and outrun it.

"Thats polish for fuck around and find out." I am so glad that most counties have a phrase for it XD.
