@covingtonium1 No, the 2 cockpit version is a B model, i.e. trainer version of the SR-71. If you look up the SR-71 on Wikipedia the picture they have is of that version.
Why can't can't we keep this glorious jet it is the only jet that I know that can go into space and travel the globe. This aircraft shouldn't retire it should the forerunner of future spacecraft years to come and I am not a wiz about jets, but todays jets have no comparison to this one thumbs up if you agree.
um no offense to any one but am i the only person that doesn't like the cockpit of this bird because the second cockpit how it is elevated above the first totally destroys the slick and sexy lines of the bird that i grew up with called the sr-71 just saying this one isn't that pretty the cockpit totally ruins this bird
Dude your lack of knowledge scares me, its like all those college kids i met who didnt know who hitler was. Blackbird is an ultra high alt recon aircraft. It was retired due to the fact it severly leaked fuel on the ground, spy sats were getting better, and the fact it may have very well been replaced with an even faster recon platform, that we dont know about. The stealth bomber had NO reason on this birds retirement.
@TheDuvalMilitia Sorry - you're the one who lacks knowledge; talk about the pot calling the kettle black! The Blackbirds were notorious for leaking fuel; this was a completely normal occurrence, and anybody who knows anything about them understands this. The -71's fuselage WAS the fuel tank - and could not be completely sealed while sitting cold on the pavement. Once you got some heat in it and expanded the skin, it sealed tight. Spend 2 minutes to look it up.
Yep, because i mentioned the fuel, not to mention I had already known about all the shit you said. You learn a lot of stuff about SR-71's when you get to see one up close, talk to museum staff about it, talk to people who flew it, etc, Your telling me facts i would've listed but i wasn't going to go over the character limit and have to post two different posts...
@TheDuvalMilitia Christ, you run out of excuses and then fall back on the old standby of calling me a troll. We're all fucking trolls. What does that have to do with your veracity?
The fact you do not even fucking know me so you call me lazy and you say im a liar? You don't know what the fuck I do in my life, nor do I know what you do. It has nothing to do with my Veracity, for I can not prove everything I say, but you to jump like that, The fuck is your problem? Mommy didnt love you enough as a child? You wanna act like a child do so, and leave me the fuck alone.
@TheDuvalMilitia I know you perfectly. You have no idea what you're talking about but you accuse others of the same thing. That makes you a hypocrite. You have no secret knowledge. There are no secrets about this plane; it's a Mach 3.2 reconnaissance plane - a wondrous, magnificent plane subject to the laws of physics like everything else.
@beeroosterm Where in that guy's post does it say that the leaking fuel was a defect? It doesn't say that anywhere. He understands that it's not a defect. He was telling "deadman6504" that the SR-71 was retired for multiple reasons, none of which were the stealth bomber. Sad that 2 people can say the same thing yet somehow "dissagree". The internet amazes me daily with the caliber of people who post comments.
@sydneyACE Are you blind? Duvalmilitia says: "Dude your lack of knowledge scares me, its like all those college kids i met who didnt know who hitler was. Blackbird is an ultra high alt recon aircraft. It was retired due to the fact it severly leaked fuel on the ground..." Perhaps you should learn to read before you comment on the caliber of those who post comments.
The aircraft shown in this video appears to be the SR-71B - one of 3 like this ever built, and the only one to have extensive service (most hours among all Blackbirds). I recall reading that this one may have been equipped with the earlier P&W J57 engines which were lower in thrust than the J58 engines that set the speed records.
@beeroosterm ..Pratt&Whitney Florida used a J-75 engine mounted test cell, to supply the Inlet Capture Area of the proto testbed J-58 with exhaust funneling thus simulating turbine heat saturation and exchange at Mach 3 flight, the inlet on a J-58 is 50% larger then what is presented on the J-75,the J-58 is the largest jet engine ever manufactured by P&W Florida....
had the pleasure of being at mildenhall as a child in the 80's and meeting the aircrew, seeing kit rooms and take off a classic aircraft in my opinion
I love that plane. BTW, the USA is at war, gentlemen. It is fighting in Afghanistan and, the last thing the yanks need, fighting in bloody Libya too! So is England.
@theylive1984rm ..No doubt about it, my generation was an age of high speed development and Moon landings,,so sorry for the furture generations to come,as nothing will surpass,for many many years what we did in the 1960's, but do enjoy the pictures....Peace
@brightlights456X technically yes but it is Human piloted aircraft and final top seed was reached in 1967 at Mock 6.7 its was a piloted air craft not the power plant was not the mile stone it was the speed that a human could maintain controlled flight . Mock 6.7 = 5100.087 MPH ! and we did that in 1967
@brightlights456X I do not think so, I know one thing we are creating goes about 13,000 miles an hour, It is used for high speed airstrikes and possibly a nuclear montage, But we do have ICBMS so the nuke part not be true, This thing is also unmanned, The that one thing that goes 7,000 is actually called the x-43, Didn't mean to put the m,
This thing went so fast, ...it's nice to own a country over which to test it! My craft travel so fast in Second Life, that all I get is ONE SECOND, ...to enjoy them.
@ZeroneRaven Yeah in the 60's we invented it, It was to fly at 80,000 feet (Edge of space) and go mach 3, It flew over china and russia and a bunch of other countries, When it flew over russia the shot over 1,000 "high tech" missles at it and everyone missed,
@MultVc err, sorry to burst your bubble. mach 3 at altitude is "only" around 1800mph. at sea level its 2300mph.. but these planes can barely do mach 1 at sea level.
@MrTimAway You're right. This is the trainer and was said to not be Mach 3 capable. I don't think it could even reach Mach 2. The raised canopy for the instructor hindered the aerodynamics. Who know's how fast the standard versions are.
@inwoodcutter Record states that during the cold war, the fastest the SR-71 has ever flown was at least near 2200 MPH at the highest alitude ever record, near 86K ft.
tá legal um avião surpersonico fabricado pra GUERRA . pq vcs não fazem remedios , ajudam os pobres , salvam o meio hambiente ??????? estados unidos mostrando que só fazem coisas inuteis mais uma vez
that is a training sr-71 u can tell because of the raised cockpit on the back the other one which served in the military to collect information could go at over mach-3 this one could only go like Mach-1
@jereljake It is only visible in transonic speeds, that is right on Mach1. Subsonic and supersonic which are below and above the sound barrier it's not visible as the airflow changes at supersonic speeds. Its only at transonic where pressure waves merge and cause that area of pressure change it is visible.
@TheZombieSlay3rs yea this plane was basically made during the cold war to scare the crap out of the Russians. Just a big spy game haha :D (ex. Spy vs Spy)
@clintonearlwalker You are correct...you may have also read that one of those trainers was nicknamed " THE BITCH' because it was made of a crashed salvaged aft end of a YF-12A and SR-71 front and was a bitch to fly.
@megashegem No, I've certainly never heard that, I don't doubt it though. I used to argue with my uncle all the time about the number of SR-71's built. I have a book that lists the "first batch" as being around 32-35 planes, coming out of "skunk works". Also, another book, a guy and a team tried to photograph all SR-71's simultaneously, I think he came up with 35-37 planes, depending on the contents of 2 hangars with closed doors. My uncle was a Master Sergent in the Air Force, he said 15.
@megashegem The SR-71A was the main production variant. The SR-71B was a trainer variant.[73] Production of the SR-71 totaled 32 aircraft with 29 SR-71As, 2 SR-71Bs, and 1 SR-71C.[74]
The SR-71C was a hybrid aircraft composed of the rear fuselage of the first YF-12A (S/N 60-6934) and the forward fuselage from a SR-71 static test unit. This Blackbird was seemingly not quite straight and had a yaw at supersonic speeds.[75] It was nicknamed "The Bastard". --Wikipedia
@mountaincat1000 Notice when the plane in this video rolls out the cockpit canopy area. There are 2 "cockpits". A windshield area for the pilot, and just above it, another canopy for an instructor. This would be the "C" trainer variant. Any other picture of any other SR-71 you only see a single canopy for the pilot, those were mission planes with no extra canopy for reduced wind resistance. Hope that helps.
@mountaincat1000 what would the B be then? you mention the C was a hybrid of 2 aircraft., and that it was not quiet straight? im kind of confused haha
I think the trainer version (the so-called "titanium goose") shown in this video cannot go up to Mach 3.........

I read that 2 samples of a pilot trainer model SR-71were built. Apparently, the plane in this vid is one of them. Notice the double canopy.

@clintonearlwalker You are correct...you may have also read that one of those trainers was nicknamed " THE BITCH' because it was made of a crashed salvaged aft end of a YF-12A and SR-71 front and was a bitch to fly.

@megashegem No, I've certainly never heard that, I don't doubt it though. I used to argue with my uncle all the time about the number of SR-71's built. I have a book that lists the "first batch" as being around 32-35 planes, coming out of "skunk works". Also, another book, a guy and a team tried to photograph all SR-71's simultaneously, I think he came up with 35-37 planes, depending on the contents of 2 hangars with closed doors. My uncle was a Master Sergent in the Air Force, he said 15.

@clintonearlwalker Sorry...My Bad....It was called "THE BASTARD' and it was the only SR-71C. Google or Wikipedia it for info on it. Cheers.

@megashegem The SR-71A was the main production variant. The SR-71B was a trainer variant.[73] Production of the SR-71 totaled 32 aircraft with 29 SR-71As, 2 SR-71Bs, and 1 SR-71C.[74]
The SR-71C was a hybrid aircraft composed of the rear fuselage of the first YF-12A (S/N 60-6934) and the forward fuselage from a SR-71 static test unit. This Blackbird was seemingly not quite straight and had a yaw at supersonic speeds.[75] It was nicknamed "The Bastard". --Wikipedia

@clintonearlwalker please explain more in depth of the difference of the C i cannot tell the difference when looking at a picture

@mountaincat1000 Notice when the plane in this video rolls out the cockpit canopy area. There are 2 "cockpits". A windshield area for the pilot, and just above it, another canopy for an instructor. This would be the "C" trainer variant. Any other picture of any other SR-71 you only see a single canopy for the pilot, those were mission planes with no extra canopy for reduced wind resistance. Hope that helps.

@mountaincat1000 what would the B be then? you mention the C was a hybrid of 2 aircraft., and that it was not quiet straight? im kind of confused haha
