Mach 3.2, undetectable to enemy radar and unsusceptible to aerial defences. The Lockheed Martin SR-71 Blackbird. Good Evening Mr Hanley and classmates. In the following presentation I will demonstrate why the monumental Lockheed Martin SR-71 Black Bird was possibly the best advancement in aviation history and why the SR-71 is a testament to the evolution of aviation technology. The Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird was the result of more than six decades of advancements in aviation since the first powered flight
bombs. They were also used to spy on other countries before satellites were conventional. Planes were getting faster and more complicated. Now we have planes that can fly themselves and take photos. But until now no plane has been better than the SR-71, also known as the Black Bird. Lockheed Martin was contracted by the United States to make planes for them. On May 1, 1960, a U-2 flown by the US officer Francis Gary Powers crashed in the USSR. This caused tension between the two countries. Powers
for a remote site to test the U-2. Grooms Lake is chosen as the location for the runway. By August of 1955, the U-2 makes its first flight from Grooms Lake. That was only the beginning for test flights from Area 51. In April 1962, the first A-12 Blackbird was tested at Groom Lake. February 1982, the F-117A Stealth fighter takes off for the first time. All other test flights have not been released to the public, but that doesn't mean they don't occur. However, they are, in no way, shape or form, alien
Section 2. Problem Statement Stealth technology is the use of advanced and specially designed material to make an aircraft difficult or even impossible to detect from radars. The goal of stealth technology is to make the aircrafts invisible from radar. A stealth aircrafts are made up of totally flat surface and sharp edges which reflects away all the radar signals at an angle. It also absorbs radar energy. Stealth technology aircrafts are important because it can make strikes without having fear
Tyler Joseph is most known for being the co-founder and frontman of the American band Twenty One Pilots (usually stylized as twenty | one | pilots or twenty øne piløts). He was born in Columbus, Ohio, on December 1st, 1988. He was born to Chris and Kelly Joseph, the first of four children. He has two brothers, Zack and Jay, and a sister, Madison. He and his siblings were homeschooled for most of elementary school and middle school, before later attending a private Christian high school. Throughout
He was born on April 16, 1907, Vancourt, Quebec, Canada. Vancourt is a very small town in Quebec. Joseph Armand Bombardier was interested in building things since his childhood. He enjoyed exploring new objects and actually built them. For example, when he was at the age of 10, he designed a prototype of tractor by using cigar box and alarm clock. Furthermore, he built the first model of snowmobile at the age of 15. His curiosity from his childhood inspired him to become an great inventor. There
placed in foster care until he enlisted in the U.S. Air Force at age 18. As a young adult Dave was determined to better himself--no matter what the odds. As a member of the armed forces, Dave was hand-picked to midair refuel the highly secretive SR-71 Blackbird and the F-117 Stealth Fighter, which played a major role in Operations Just Cause, Desert Shield, and Desert Storm. Some of Dave's distinctive accomplishments have been recognized through a number of awards, as well as personal commendations from
town about eighty miles northwest of Las Vegas, Nevada, Area 51 is a military base and airfield in the United States. The base was originally used as a bombing range and later used to test government aircraft such as the U-2 spy plane and the SR-71 Blackbird. Although it has been disclosed as being a military base, many have suspicions that it is correlated with extraterrestrial beings. Rumored to be associated with aliens, Area 51 has a unique history of public speculation and government use. II
TITANIUM DISCOVERY : Titanium was first discovered in black sand known as “ILMENITE” , a mixture of titanium oxides and iron oxides by “ WILLIAM GREGOR”, the pastor of mannacan of parish in the year 1791 at England, and named his new metal as “MANACCANITE”, after his discovery a German chemist “MARTIN KLAPROTH” named it as “TITANIUM” after the TITANS, greek’s mythological beings of the earth and the name was preferred by other chemists but they believed Gregor as the original discoverer
vFebruary 20th, 1959, also known as “Black Friday” was the day that the short lived Avro Arrow project came to an end. The Avro Arrow was a supersonic interceptor which was Canada’s response to the Cold War threat from Russia attacking the North American continent. The cancellation of the Avro Arrow is still a controversial topic today, as the Canadian government had a short term view versus a long-term horizon. Even though, the aircraft was far superior to enemy countries, John Diefenbaker and
planes can go over 200 MPH. They can fly at super heights they can do a lot of unbelievable things. The airplanes now a days are very cool. They have even made one that is a military jet that goes up to over 2,000 MPH its called the lockheed SR-71 blackbird. The worlds most expensive private jet is worth 99 million. It is the Boeing business jet. There are people working on an experimental jet plane that is made of glass so that you can see 360 degrees.
The Lockheed Martin F-22a Raptor fighter jet is the pinnacle of modern stealth technology. Featuring the absolute latest in radar absorbent covering and aircraft design, this plane not only defies, but also laughs at enemy attempts to spot it, showing up as a blip the same size as a marble would on radar. Throughout the ages, it has not been he with the bigger stick who won the war, but he with the stick that could not be seen. Stealth technology and camouflage have been an integral part of warfare
Aerodynamics of Planes Ever since I was little I was amazed at the ability for a machine to fly. I have always wanted to explore ideas of flight and be able to actually fly. I think I may have found my childhood fantasy in the world of aeronautical engineering. The object of my paper is to give me more insight on my future career as an aeronautical engineer. This paper was also to give me ideas of the physics of flight and be to apply those physics of flight to compete in a high school competition
The SCRAMJET, simply abbreviated from Supersonic Combustion Ramjet, is the latest evolution of the jet engine family. NASA made the news with each test of the X-43A scramjet craft, so I set about to discover why this type of jet engine should garner so much scientific attention. Turbojet The most basic jet engine is the turbojet. As soon as the air enters the front of the engine, the blades of the compressor, compresses the air before funneling it into the combustion chamber. During the
What is the purpose of this museum? The Kansas Cosmosphere and Space Center in Hutchinson, Kansas houses the second largest collection of U.S. space memorabilia in the country, second only to the Smithsonian’s Air and Space Museum in Washington, D.C. The Cosmosphere is also home to the largest collection of Russian space memorabilia outside of Moscow. The Cosmosphere is also one of three museums in the world that has spacecrafts from all three early manned U.S. space programs. The Kansas Cosmosphere
The life of David Pelzer began with horrifying odds; however, he managed to pull himself from the ashes of poverty to become the admired man he is today. He endured overwhelming amounts of psychological and physical abuse during his youth. He suffered brutal indignities endorsed by his mother and during his early years he was tortured in an inhumane and degrading environment. During the latter years of his youth, he was placed in the foster care system and he went on to service the military. During

The United States military was a close associate to the Lockheed Corporation after creating many aircraft including the P-80 Shooting Star, F-104 Starfighter, U-2 spy plane, SR-71 Blackbird, F-117 Nighthawk, and Have Blue a stealth aircraft. After establishing a clear understanding and superiority with fighter aircraft that could fly not only as fast as the speed of sound, but also twice as fast, Lockheed delved into the world of
Area 51 is an Air Force base located one hundred miles north of Las Vegas, Nevada. Area 51 is one of the most talked about conspiracy theories of all time. It was originally built in the 1950s to test and create fighter jets.Area 51 has high security surrounding the whole property and is in restricted air space. With all the security and secrecy that takes place in this area lots of conspiracy theories form because no one knows the sole purpose of Area 51. It attracts hundreds of people every year
