Media-holding “star” He told about ztom, as a simple American opened naisekretneyshy US hypersonic aircraft project.
US researchers have discovered an aircraft, which is presumed to be developed by the US Air Force aircraft. American blogger Tyler Glockner, studying Florida map with Google Earth, I stumbled upon a "secret development of" the United States Air Force. We are talking about a hypersonic spy plane, capable of speeds up to nearly 7,5 thousand kilometers per hour.
An object, found on the runway aerospace company Pratt & Whitney (one of the leading American manufacturers of aircraft industry), somewhat similar to the project Lockheed Martin – SR-72. Company representatives recently announced the start of development of a hypersonic aircraft, which served as a basis for SR-71 Blackbird, used by the US Air Force during the Cold War for reconnaissance in the airspace of the USSR, North Korea and Vietnam.
At the end 2013 the year it was reported that, that instead of "Blackbird" (SR-71) comes a new aircraft, which received the designation SR-72, it is engaged in the development division of Lockheed Martin Aircraft Corporation. reported, that the main difference will be a completely new aircraft engine, which will combine the turbine and ramjet thrust. Thanks to this engine, aircraft can fly at a speed of approximately 6 Makhov, that right in 2 times greater than the maximum speed of its predecessor.
One of the symbols of the Cold War, Lockheed Martin SR-71 Blackbird can get a successor in the next decade. reported, The new SR-72, capable of flying at twice the speed, be able to fly without a pilot. After the US Air Force refused to "Blackbird", It has revealed a serious lack of similar machines. Aircraft SR-72, are working on design engineers unit Lockheed Skunk Works, must return the Air Force reconnaissance flight at supersonic speed. If work on the project will end, as planned, aircraft can fly at a speed of 6 times the speed of sound.
Spy plane SR-71 made its first flight as early as 1964 year, the last time the car went up in the air 1998 year. All this time, "Blackbird" reconnaissance aircraft remained the main US Air Force. The car could be a long time in the air at an altitude of about 24 kilometers, flew at supersonic speed. When SR-71 aircraft has been sent to retire, for some time, the role of tall observers went to the orbital grouping.
In this case, the aircraft can carry and complex Arms. reported, that weapons, which can be used with SR-72 aircraft, It can be shown in the Lockheed Martin 2018 year. speech, mainly, is a new lightweight rockets, since when run on airspeed 6 they do not need swings will accelerate, a, Consequently, weighting of their filling.
One of the objectives of the new SR-72 hypersonic aircraft will be not only the United States to provide the necessary intelligence, but also an increase in the military strength of the state. According Hypersonics program manager Brad Leland, hypersonic aircraft, having armed with hypersonic missiles, will be able to penetrate into the no-fly airspace likely opponent, and put the missile attacks in any part of the continent, before reaching their destination in less than 1 time.
