It’s kind of funny to think that the SR-71’s original name, wasn’t SR but, rather RS-71 for Reconnaissance System. Lyndon B. Johnson accidentally called it the SR-71 and it stuck with the American public and thus the plane was then officially renamed as the SR-71. I also believe that the SR-71 would have remained as a secret black project for much longer than it did but, if I remember correctly, Congress was complaining about the U.S. not keeping pace with Soviet Aerospace technology development, so the Blackbird was reveled to Congress, essentially to shut them up.
Internally it was already called SR-71 by the Air Force by the time of the speech, due to lobbying from Gen. Curtis LeMay (maybe also because having the last letter be S would imply it was a sub hunter, and they weren’t trying to deceive anyone as to its purpose). The press documents still said RS for some reason.
It was first the A12 Before called the RS 71 then the SR 71 and followed by the M21 that carried a drone called the D21. The last A12 was renamed after testing another SR 71. The only one seater that existed. Ir sits in the Air Force Museum in Dayton, Ohio immitting that fact.
@@chriss-nf1bd the A12 (codename OXCART) is the first variant, single seater with better electronics and larger tanks, made specifically on CIA's request, and Lockheed made a dozen or so of those (a few lost in incidents).

The F-105 was not an unsuccesful fighter bomber. Much on the contrary. The high loss rate was a consequence of the intensity of the Vietnam war. It was not an easy plane to fly, but that was because of its high performance.
Also because they used it for CAS, that being the most needed most common mission in nam, which it wasn't a tall designed for, making it much more vulnerable to ground fire.

They’re fucking everywhere man. I travel often and I like to stop at air museums here in the states and you’d be surprised how big museums have at least one member of the blackbird family. Blackbird Park at Plant 42 has two of them as well as a D-21
I know a guy who worked on the conservation of an Oxcart for a historical monument. It's not an easy job when the paint won't stick to anything because the government still won't tell you what the airplane is made out of.
Bro the Convair engineers who designed that VTOL jet must've been on the same thing the Convair engineers were on during the development of the B-36 peacemaker 💀💀💀
The B-36 made sense when it was developed. Don't forget, it was originally planned during WW2 and came just too late to be used there. Of course it was obsolete in the mid 1950s
Props to the animators! (I don't know if thats plural or... Lol) but I wanted to say for a long while I think. So there, job done!👍👍 what is that Maya or....?
When I was a kid, Gi-Joe had their version of the Blackbird. Around the same time, there was a craft released called the Shark (I think). It was a sick looking aircraft/submarine. I always wondered if that was a real life failed military project that the toy company used as the basis of the design. If anyone at Skunkworks is looking for the next big design for an eye catching, trick death machine, they should look it up. I think it even had an action figure in a suit that looked like something an astronaut would wear but was used as a deep sea diving rig. They don’t make toys like that anymore.
Man, the Kingfish looks like would have been a stealthy beast considering the similarities I see with the F117.. maybe I’m reaching and hot damn the A12 was almost flawless but I can’t help but think the Kingfish would have had potentially lower RCS and if it could have reached Mach 3+ I think todays combat aircraft would be so different
Thunderchief was used in roles it was not designed for. It flew supersonic bombing and interdiction sorties at low level, a steep hill to climb for any A/C, while facing the most intense ground AAA fire in history. Furthermore, it was never a fighter, and the TFX RFP was not specifically issued to replace it. It was not a bad aircraft as described in this video. To describe it in this manner is disrespectful to the builder, the A/C itself, and finally, the brave pilots who flew it.
David R Lentz, Columbus, Ohio, USA (Sunday, 18 August, 2024) Your presentation quickly proves its points as being of rather greater interest and merit than I initially had anticipated; much of such designs are so problematic (or worse, embarrassing) on the face of it as to be sardonically laughable, even trenchantly derisive. Of course, one must guard against undue censure, however, for some innovations and adaptations ultimately do manage to prove their worth, if in an unintended sense. An especially fortuitous case in point was the UK’s Wooden Wonder: the de Havilland DH-98 Mosquito RAF Mk.IV Light Bomber and its siblings. At 42:22, you mispronounce the surname of the Defence Secretary Robert McNamara-”MACK•neh•MAR (as in “marry”) •eh”-which your on-screen captioning also misspells. At 43:06, your on-screen captioning also mis-labels the name of the Fairchild-Republic A-10 Thunderbolt II USAF Attack Aircraft; its predecessor was the formidable Republic P-47 Thunderbolt USAAF Fighter. At 1:38:34, the Convair Model 49 Shroud-Rotored Vehicle (advanced area fire-support system) airborne test aircraft briefly caught my attention. The Star Wars movie designers should examine this fearsome thing to assess how a real “battle-droid” would look, operate, and fight! At 1:48:14, what is “Skorovsky’s [sic] Translating Roto-Prop”? At 1:50:45, you introduce the Lockheed CL-1201, an unfathomably massive aircraft design concept. Entertaining it is for us to conceptualise and to contemplate its potential, though I expect that the purpose of this flying, metal lammergeier had is roots in the geopolitics of the day. Were a generally similar scenario to manifest, we surely would be able to do as much with the USAF’s transports we now have; or at worst, we would spend a fraction of the cost of that sky-beast to increase our capacity.

First, you got LBJs name wrong and second the Soviets didn't have better radar, we hoped they had worse radar l. We always knew they could see the U2 and the SR71, but they didn't have the ability to shoot them down.
So the premise of the YF12 was to build a blisteringly fast plane armed with air to air missiles that would scream towards the enemy bomber fleets identified by the radars and early warning equipment of the day and due to their speed would intercept the enemy and destroy them all far from home,,, as long as your home was in the USA and not somewhere near the expected interception point correct? God I would absolutely love to take a peak behind the doors of the USA's most advanced and top secret technology, including all the supposedly recovered materials and the programs set up around them,, those guys are literally walking around in what to us normal folk amounts to a version of the future, effectively real life time travelers who work on a daily basis with things that we won't know about for at least 20 years and more likely 40 or 50 years! Think about the advances in technology between 1984 to 2004 and then the advances from 2004 to now and just imagine what they have on the drawing board now!
I think the king fish would be an amazing plane with today’s technology woven in. It’s a plane that was a head of its time but a plane for today’s battles . Maybe they could bring it back .
President Lloyd Johnson ? What would Melanie Patcher of the Tony (aka conswervative) party of the Unified Queendom of Grand Button and NE Iceland have to say?
Did he just shit-talk the THUNDERCHIEF!? Does he think the Wild Weasel flights were safer and more successful when we flew them in F-100 Super Sabres? Come on, man. A high loss rate does not mean it was a shitty plane.
G'day all, got to love a hair brained military idea. I think someone was watching to much stingray and thunderbirds when they came up with the submersible sea plane.
9:50 we hear ''wreck onna sonse''? What's that when it is at home? At 30:00 with the starfighter htting the Valkyrie mid-air. The flight was for a brochure for the board of directors. However a large bomber got too close from above which spooked the starfighter pilot into making a sudden swerve, causing him to cross over the stabilizers of the valkyrie, knocking the valkrie into oblivion. Was simply bad luck and nothing to do with bad design etc. What a shame huh? That Convair & Gen'Elec Highdensity seaplane reminds me of a cross betwee a blue whale and a humpback whale with a wing-shaped front flippers, and stabilizer shaped tail-flukes. A really goegeous design tio look at despite it's multitude of drawbacks. (Star Trek Fleet Command is pretty much utter shite, by the way. There's no real gameplay. Just the usual typical Android-centric money spinner story line.) The big giant one near the end is repeated after the star trek game is repeated
