      He used a material with a high thermal conductivity for the leading edges. My first though was about the SR71 using titanium for the leading edges, titanium has a very bad thermal conductivity meaning more heat stays in the leading edges rather than dissipating elsewhere. My second thought was about thermal expansion of these different materials, leading to stress build-ups if not accounted for... Any thoughts?

The SR71 used its own fuselage and deforming parts as fuel tanks which would seal up when heated up due to thermal expansion. This is why fuselage parts are mostly bolted down instead of welded, even if you increase the weight with the bolts and rivets, its the only way to make sure they meet the working requirements. You are on the right track hahaha

  • @Chrischi3TutorialLPs
    @Chrischi3TutorialLPs Před 5 měsíci +128

    Here's an interesting bit about the SR-71:
    While on the ground, the SR-71 leaks fuel like a sieve. This is because the fuel pipes are designed to expand in flight, because you can't make them seal properly on the ground without thermal expansion causing the entire piping to self-destruct.

    • @crispy23c
      @crispy23c Před 5 měsíci +29

      Special fuel additives were designed to keep the leaky fuel from catching fire, and are used in commercial airline fuels today. The SR-71 was then re-fueled after takeoff to maximize range. For its time, it was a fantastic aircraft- and still amazes me today!

    • @ChristopherGriffin-ee2ol
      @ChristopherGriffin-ee2ol Před 2 měsíci +3

      The SR-71 was powered by two Pratt & Whitney J58 (company designation JT11D-20) axial-flow turboramjet engines. The J58 was a considerable innovation of the era, capable of producing a static thrust of 32,500 lbf (145 kN). The engine was most efficient around Mach 3.2, the Blackbird's typical cruising speed.

    Another couple of issues with spy satellites, since they are generally placed in low orbits (to get the sharpest image possible), and those orbits are fairly easy to track and predict:
    1) The enemy can at least in principle know days in advance when a particular spy satellite will overfly a given site and move assets or disguise them appropriately. Mitigating this would require a very dense spysat network, which as you said would be very expensive. On the other hand, a high-speed stealth recon aircraft gives much less warning time.
    2) In a shooting war between superpowers, spy satellite networks (as well as satellite communication and navigation networks) would probably be in short order destroyed by ASAT weapons, due to having very limited evasive and defensive capability. Hypersonic recon aircraft, with bases far behind the front lines and speed and altitude to challenge even modern SAMs, would be much harder to prevent from operating.

      Unfortunately they fly over every 90 minutes. Not every few days. Hence photos posted by the us of Russian airbases used to attack Ukraine with a 20 minute spacing. Because well they got more than one. And the US already has every part of the globe covered. GPS has that too

    • @zuthalsoraniz6764
      @zuthalsoraniz6764 Před 5 měsíci +12

      @@elementalgolem5498 If you have a single spy satellite each in a lot of orbital planes, you can get an overflight every 90 minutes, yes - even more frequently if you have multiple per orbital plane.
      But for a single satellite in a low polar orbit of ~90 minutes, you only get one overflight of a specific location each day (if the orbital period is exactly 1/16 of a sidereal day), or potentially even periods of no coverage at all. That's where the "you need lots of spy satellites and that gets expensive" part comes in. The US can afford that expense.

Schwarzkopf himself said that having an aircraft like the blackbird would have been a huge advantage during the Gulf War, intelligence wise.

      If you're mad keen on aviation and all things flight, aerospace engineering is the path to take if you really want to get into it. It's definitely not as intimidating as you'd think to get into and there are a lot of bridging courses that can help get you up to speed on any topics you don't know. If you're not at that point yet, RC plane clubs or rocket clubs are a really good place to be. In both planes and rockets, you have a huge range of skills and abilities from people making rockets out of cardboard and glue and passive planes from foam, to full multi stage rockets with full avionics suites and high speed planes with advanced electronics.

    What a beautiful aircraft!
    I wish I knew what that cinematic ending music was!

    Contrary to a lot of people interested in this area but not actively working on it, I don't actually think that any in production hypersonic aircraft are going to make use of plasma shaping in an attempt to minimize radar cross-section because any benefits you gain from plasma shaping is going to be at the cost of quite literally looking like a new sun to anything with even a primitive IRST sensor. This thing would likely be trackable from orbit by even just weather satellites.
    Also with as small of a drag coefficient as this thing should have any plasma generated from impaction with the air is going to be pretty minimal because unlike the space shuttle you don't have a massive forward cross section to impart all of that energy into the air. So it's going to be a relatively small amount of plasma if any at all and it's likely just going to balloon your IR signature in exchange for a minor reduction on an already incredibly small radar cross-section.
    So I suspect a hypothetical successor to the SR-71 is probably going to look at minimizing plasma generation. It might still fly with a cesium doped fuel for generating plasma to help shield its back end because at afterburner that's already going to look like a star to something with an infrared sensor. So you're not really losing anything there. But you probably want to keep the plasma away from your front end so you don't give an IR seeker a really easy time locking you from a frontal aspect which is about the only way it's going to catch you.

    A major weakness with hypersonic aircraft and the like is their massive heat signatures. Sure the plasma will easily hide the aircraft from radar but good luck hiding all that heat from IRST sensors.
    As a side note, I seem to recall reading in Aviation Week &Space Technology magazine that the sweet spot for hypersonics, be they missiles or aircraft, was around Mach 7. Not so fast that you require expensive, exotic materials along with ridiculously powerful, complex and expensive engines but not so slow that you’re vulnerable to interception (at least with known current and upcoming technology)

    Funny story about the sr-71, IIRC it originally had 2 wheels on the landing gear however they kept failing when landing so unsure of what to do they went to a landing gear expert and asked what they should do. The expert said to add more wheel, so now the sr-71 has 3 wheels per gear.
    Edit: other fun facts about the bird.
    It carried 16 shots of triethylborane since the fuel that it used jp-7 was so stable pilots used to extinguish their cigarettes in it.
    It's cameras were powerful enough to read a license plate from its altitude of fl800.
    It had over 800 missiles fired at it and was never it.
    The titanium used to build it was bought from the U.S.S.R through shell companies.

    How did you do that smooth paint? Rivets (default one) is kinda odd. But great video. By the way, that heating effect was real or post production?

    "Crossing the Atlantic at mach 5" would be a 1.5 hour flight from NYC to Paris, over 5800 miles. About the same as flying from NYC to Jacksonville, FL, on a regular airliner, a flight of 820 miles.

    What's your headcannon on how this plane dealt with the Boron Nitride (solid harder than diamond, when boron burns with nitrogen) deposits on turbine blades, cause that's why the zip fuels weren't commonly used IRL. Apart from their insane toxicity ofc.
