The lore of this plane is really amazing. The SR-71 it´s more than just a flying machine, it is an aviation icon. Built to fly higher and faster than any other aircraft, which has pulverized all records to date. Put together with real ingenuity, when the economic cost was less important than proving that you could do it while others don´t. A trully masterpiece of engineering of the Cold War.

This cant still be the fastest manned aircraft being its 60yrs old now. But i do agree, SR71 is amazing .

Your authoritative statement is both interesting and misguided. This plane wasn't just about unlimited funding and proving they could do it. It actually did a job very well and helped significantly with cold war intelligence.

Nice. The periscope is actually intended to be used to check for contrails, but in reality pilots could also use it to visually check the trim of the stabs and (IIRC) to ensure even trimming of each engine 's afterburner.

For such a large aircraft it is surprisingly cramped

What happens in a seat ejection?

@Barryschitpeas42069 Год назад

It still probably retains the small explosive charges that detonate are forcibly remove the canopy before firing the seat but I'm pretty sure ejecting at the speeds this was capable of will kill you anyways

I never noticed that the rear seat on the 71B was raised enough to also see forward. can't imagine how much it must've suckedon the regular 71s for the guy in back only had two little side windows to look out from
