How fast can the and how high can the SR-71 Blackbird fly?

Okay, here's a tip about which can climb in a higher altitude will win. You decide which one can fly much more higher altitudes. Most time missiles have shot down pretty much military aircraft though but not that much. Still not easy to destroy military planes. Most types of jets get shot down, well just a few of them not that many but there's only one military aircraft was never been shot down before, the SR-71 Blackbird the spy-plane. Missiles climb pretty high and fast but the SR-71 Blackbird uses stealth and a high speed afterburner. That's was a pretty good lock-on to the SR-71 Blackbird though but it is not easy. Missiles are pretty awesome and they're pretty powerful but not that much. Missiles still can lose military aircrafts. Military planes still can win. Missiles can only fly at 70,000 to 80,000 feet but the SR-71 Blackbird can fly at 82,000 to 85,000 feet. No SR-71 Blackbird was ever shot down before. The SR-71 Blackbird is the winner.

Is the blackbird stealth plane a stealth bomber?

The SR-71 Blackbird wasn't really a stealth aircraft. It was a reduced RCS craft, meaning it had a reduced radar signature, but was still detectable, and relied on its speed for its defence.

It was an unarmed aircraft, being intended for photographic surveillance and reconnaissance. An armed prototype - the YF-12A - was tested for potential use as an interceptor, but was never fielded.

What is the fastest speed by the SR71?

Asked by Wiki User

The absolute top speed remains classified.

Officially "in excess of Mach 3"

Probably closer to Mach 3.5 - 3.8

What is the environmental impact of the SR-71 Blackbird?

Based on some calcs I've seem the plane burns JP7 (its very unique fuel) at a rate of 1 gallon for every 107 feet it flies at Mach 3.2.

Has the Sr 71 blackbird ever been shot down?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

No, not at all. The SR-71 Blackbird has never been shot down during their mission. There over 4,000 SAM's launched at the SR-71 Blackbird but still not even one hit. In reallife no SR-71 Blackbird was ever destroyed. Planning on destroying the SR-71 Blackbird is not really easy. The SR-71 Blackbird can avoid getting shot down really easily. It's not easy to get a lock on to an aircraft because they can deploying move into stealth mode. They can also deploy anti-missile flares. Missiles will not be able to destroy the SR-71 Blackbird.

It holds the world record for the fastest jet plane it can travel at Mach 3.3 (three times the speed of sound)

How do you buy a SR-71 blackbird?

Asked by Wiki User

The SR-71 Blackbird is a military aircraft so it is illegal to buy it unless you are the military or government. The price of the Blackbird is also insanely high.

Asked by Wiki User

It reached a published speed of 2,196 miles per hour and it's unclassified speed was 3.3 mach. Actual top speed is now and forever will be classified. It flew so fast that the crews had to wait a few minutes after landing to let the skin cool down.

How do you make paper jets?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

== Find a piece of paper shaped like a rectangle. A sheet of computer printing paper or school notebook paper is a good size and weight.

2 == Lay the paper on a table with one of the long edges closest to you.

3 == Fold the paper in half lengthwise. When the two edges match up, use your thumbs to make a sharp crease along the fold.

4 == Click to enlarge Take the upper left corner of the top layer of paper and fold it diagonally down toward the first crease you made. When the edges match up, use your thumbs to make a sharp crease along the new fold, which should create a small triangular flap.

5 == Turn the paper over.

6 == Click to enlarge Take the upper right corner of the top layer of paper and fold it diagonally toward you, until the edge lines up with the first crease you made. When the edges match, make a sharp crease along the new fold. (This is a mirror of what you did in step 4.)

7 == Click to enlarge Take the newly formed diagonal edge on the right side of the paper, and fold it straight down toward the first crease you made. When the edges match, make another sharp crease.

8 == Click to enlarge Turn the paper over, and again fold the diagonal edge down toward the first crease you made; make another sharp crease. The paper should now look like a triangle with a 90-degree angle.

9 == Click to enlarge Form the wings by flipping the airplane over and repeating steps 7 and 8.

10 == Hold the paper in one hand along the first crease you made. Let the wings of the plane flare out.

11 == At a point 4 or 5 inches from the nose of the plane, make a 1/2-inch rip in the bottom part of the plane; make another rip 1/2 inch behind it. Fold this tab up.

12 == Click to enlarge Hold the airplane near the tab and toss the plane with an overhand, horizontal forward motion. ANSWER : Keep in mind that the question was " How do you make a paper jet " not a paper airplane. I think you set the wings on fire and throw it !

Why was the SR 71 retired?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The primary reason was the cost of keeping the planes operational. Reconnaissance satellites, while expensive to launch, are less expensive to operate. By 1998, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) like the Predator were demonstrating that similar missions could be accomplished at much lower cost and without putting crews at risk.
