  • beside been an stupid video its completly wrong couse when some objetc its atached to another one, this objet gets the airplane speed so the misile initial speed its the one the airplane have...in others words FK U

  • @mauricioalfredo83 In other words your a sad cunt.

  • @fusionhunter You can't take bad critique that well, can you? =/

    What he's saying is true, but eh, who gives a damn because it's just a game anyhow. Ofcourse it's surreal.

  • @Srjl Thanks for sharing your view. It made a huge difference. Your so smart and clever. Wow I wish I was like you.

  • JUSS LIEK REEL LIEF!!!1

  • @lb8068 fuck you

  • @mauricioalfredo83 That's completely untrue. This is what would happen in real life if an SR-71 going Mach 3 would fire a missile that travels Mach 2.5. It would possibly go ahead a little, but quickly, the drag coefficient would overcome the thrust and would slow the rocket down to Mach 2.5 allowing the SR-71 to pass it. Alternatively, the drag coefficient wouldn't allow it to ever go faster than the SR-71. It would be one or the other.

  • @wildbill6976 If so, what's the reason it would go faster? Would it go Mach 3? If so, what's the reason it would stay the same? Would it slow down to Mach 2.5? If so, what's the reason it would slow down?

    Ask yourself those questions and see what you can come up with then get back to me. Let me know what your findings are and we'll go from there.

  • @wildbill6976 Let's try something different. We'll ask a series of rhetorical reasoning questions. Let's say we shoot the rocket which has the max speed of Mach 2.5 from a stationary position. Why does it only go Mach 2.5? Because the amount of drag at Mach 2.5 is too much for the thrust to make it go any faster. So if we're traveling already at Mach 3 and we fire the rocket, what will happen? Will it go Mach 5.5 (2.5+3)?

  • @wildbill6976 Please don't tell me you didn't understand any of that.

  • @nexus1g My head doesn't have a rocket motor on the back of it....

  • @wildbill6976 Now in the example of our missile, its power plant doesn't have the force necessary to push it faster than the SR-71's making it go. In fact, it doesn't even have the power to keep it going as fast as Mach 3. Because of this, the missile, once fired, begins to slow down right away. Imagine putting your hand out of your car window if you were traveling at 500 MPH. You probably wouldn't be able to push it against the air and it would be pushed backwards by the drag.

  • @wildbill6976 Here is an experiment you can try on your own. As you're traveling down the road in your car, put your hand out of the window. As you know from when you were a kid, you'll feel that familiar force of air resistance causing drag on our arm. Now quickly swing your arm forward. You'll feel it's more difficult it to swing your arm forward going 60 MPH than it normally would have been standing still. This is because of the drag from going 60 MPH.

  • @wildbill6976 The missile is only going Mach 3 because of the SR-71's engines. As soon as the missile is fired and under its own, significantly weaker power plant, the missile will begin to immediately slow down to Mach 2.5 because the missile's thrust-to-drag ratio (note it's thrust-to-drag, not thrust-to-weight in aerodynamics) prevents it from being able to persist faster than Mach 2.5.

  • @nexus1g Incorrect...

    Drag coefficient for the missile is far less than the aircraft firing it. Also, the missile is generating a much higher thrust to weight ratio (i.e. accelerates quicker).

  • @Srjl What he said was a load of crap.
