282 Questions
Has the Sr 71 blackbird ever been shot down?
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.
When was the A-12 Blackbird created?
The A-12 was produced from 1962 through 1964, and was in operation from 1963 until 1968.
How fast can the SR 71 blackbird fly?
It holds the world record for the fastest jet plane it can travel at Mach 3.3 (three times the speed of sound)
2,000 mph
What year was the sr 71 built?
The SR-71 Blackbird was built in the 1960s, with its first flight occurring on December 22, 1964. It was developed by Lockheed's Skunk Works division and officially entered service with the U.S. Air Force in 1966. The aircraft was designed for high-altitude, high-speed reconnaissance missions.
How do you buy a SR-71 blackbird?
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.
The turn radius of the SR-71 Blackbird varies depending on its speed and altitude. At a typical cruise speed of around Mach 3.2 (approximately 2,200 mph) and an altitude of 80,000 feet, the turn radius can be estimated to be around 100 miles. However, precise calculations can vary based on specific flight conditions and maneuvers. The SR-71 was designed for high-speed, high-altitude flight, which affects its turning capabilities compared to conventional aircraft.
Only 32 were made. 12 were destroyed in accidents but none due to enemy action.
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.
Speed record on July 27 1976 of Captain Joersz flew an Sr-71 blackbird?
On July 27th, 1976 Captain Eldon W. Joersz and Major George T. Morgan Jr. flew an SR-71 Blackbird 2,193 miles per hour, the fastest ever.
How much thrust does an SR-71 have?
The SR-71's J58 engine produces 142 kilo-newtons (32,000 pounds) of thrust.
== 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 !
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.
flat black including a coating that contains carbonyl iron ferrite (special paint using this material is known as "iron ball" paint).
How fast can the SR-71 US miltary jet fly?
2,200 mph/4200 k/h or so
Top speed ever was about 4,078 mph in a steep dive.
It should be noted that this recon jet has been decommissioned for some time now.
An SR-71 uses Jet Propellant Number 7, or JP-7. The exact composition of this stuff is still secret.
When was the first SR-71 made?
It was developed in the early 1960's and accepted into service in 1966.
The SR 71 was created between 1960 and 1963 and first served in the USAF in 1964
