now look, politicians are selling aerospace secrets ( to enemies ) for hand delivered untraceable bags of cash , look how little our government respects the genius that made their country a dominant force for freedom... what a shame huh !
Johnson announced it as the A-11. With pictures of the YF-12. The A-12 came first. Set records first. Was silver/dark gray. Never a "so-called" Blackbird.
Well, to add to the mystery and mystique of the aircraft, let me make it even more confusing: We found a photo of Kelly Johnson on his desk, and please take a look at the name of the "A-12" model... dronescapes.video/F12B
@Dronescapes possibly the A-12 that became the Blackbird was called the A-12B before SR-71 which is the USAF name. You can't see if model has the back seat window.
Excellent video! One airplane that very very few people know about it's called "Stryker". Even in 2024 you have never seen anything come close to the performance of it and no radar or technic can located. The only time the public will see it is in WW3. From testing, the laser took down every single target at any speed.
Citations of efficiency and lower cost here are really tiny compared to the record lay down by a private company ohh upwards of 98%. This was Musk's lower stage reusable launch vehicle Falcon. Amazing low costs and percentage effective rating compared to NASA's

This was a great story. A few computer narration errors but overall a very good documentary. Couldn’t have made it any shorter, it’s an important story! Good job!
@8:36 the US did not declare war on Germany until Germany declared war on the US 1st. Both declarations were on December 11th. What's funny though is Bulgaria & Romania both declared war on the US on December 12th, 1941! FDR thru the State Dept. tried to get them to recind it but they wouldn't so 6 months later in June of 1942, FDR asked Congress to declare war on Bulgaria & Romania...which they did. If Japan just waited 2 weeeks before attacking Pearl, they would've seen the USSR launch a counteroffensive German Army which was already stopped outside Moskow Maybe the USSR is not going to be defeated so easily. It's hard for Germany, a country of 80 million people beating the USSR, a country of 200 million..esp. when Germany's in a 2 front war.
It's biggest issue was being sold/bought as ANYTHING other than a high speed high rate of climb interceptor. And it was unfortunately the families, friends, and loved ones that'd pay the price; made even worse after the Lockheed bribery scandal came to light where they bribed multiple government officials of foreign nations to Choose F-104's over potentially better and cheaper options available. Biggest and most famous is West Germany choosing the F-104G as their first supersonic Aircraft while also using it as a fighter-bomber... needless to say dozens of German pilots would pancake into the ground after dropping their training bombs only to find out pulling out of a fast dive in a lawn dart with razorblades for wings REALLY wasn't a thing. And also quite a few stalls during landings because of it high stall speed. At least the German procurement officials got fat pockets out of the deal though...

The US capitalism was and is always capable to beat soviet communism and whatever ideology they govern with these days. (Surely is some mix of the two nowadays) Having many companies competing to win contracts with its government is, without a doubt, the best way to evolve any technology.
@@victorglavianoThe US declared war on Germany and Italy only AFTER they declared war on the US in support of Japan, which they REALLY shouldn't have done. When Germany asked Japan to declare war on the USSR and attack from the east, relieving pressure on Germany; Japan's was like "Why? That's y'all's own shit deal with it yourself" Which needless to say, was not the mutual help and cooperation Germany was expecting. Hitler wrongly thought the US to be too weak and cowardly to fight and win a prolonged war, just like Japan, and figured they'd be able to knock us out of the war quickly and kill off the convoys keeping the UK afloat. 1½yrs later and B-17's were carpet bombing factories, refineries, etc, all over Germany and Italy had surrendered after a combined allied invasion caused the people to overthrow Mussolini. Not to mention the "Eastern Front" seemed to be getting "Wester and wester" by the day.
Drives me nuts when people come to that stupid Horton 22 something. It was proven to be false. The brother that was left alive went on to spread rumors when stealth became a huge industry.
Good Video, However it is probably about the 5th or 6th video that is Narrated using History Channel and Or Wings series script dialogue. Not being Critical, I just Remember Details of Most Every Aircraft Video that I have ever seen.lol
Thanks, please keep in mind that our partner/producer was one of the founders of Wings (Phil O.), so he has a treasure trove of videos, and aviation material. He also produced, and licensed to literally all sort of platforms over the last two decades, usually for a limited length of a few years. Being a producer, you can appreciate the fact that most of those videos were simply licensed back in the days, and that most TV channels have since folded. We have a very long term deal with many of these producers, and in various forms as well, including making new videos, or restoring some, or using material that has never been used (some specific archives exceed 200 hours) As an example, some of the Eric Brown, Whittle, etc. videos might have been broadcasted a decade ago, or more, but we are publishing them on the channel, often including parts that have never been seen before, as they were not aired originally (Quantafilm in this instance). there are still many videos that are going to be released in the future that are still in 16mm form, and need to be digitized. etc.
@@Dronescapes I just Remember all of the wings Videos and History Channel Videos From back as far as they Started Production, I was not being critical at all, Just got a Kick out of the original dialogue, I am one of the biggest aviation fans you ever met, I Appreciate that You are Presenting Actual History and Actual Facts unlike another Video I Watched that The Content Creators were Using the Same Video Content and Literally making Things up That Sounded ok to Them being Apparently Part of the Younger Generation, However their Supposed Information was So Far from Historical Facts I Got a Headache from Shaking my head so much, 20 minutes and Several Fabricated Historical Comments from the Two Guys Commenting, I Hit the Not Interested button and went to other Historical factual material, Thanks for Carrying on the Original Producers Legacy of Integrity, It Still Appreciated.
I did not take that as a critique, I actually appreciated your comment. I was just sharing a bit of insight of how interesting the "behind the scenes" is, which is something we never share. Interestingly we now also have an archivist at NARA (National Archives) digging through reels, and interesting material. some of it, already featured on the channel, has never been published before. NARA is like the last scene of "The Lost Ark", a treasure trove of fascinating material. This said, we are far from perfect, but we are working on getting better. We now have a lot of people of a certain age among the team, and they often have amazing memories, material, and stories to share. Let's see what the future brings us. RUclips is a very interesting and versatile platform that does not follow the rigid rules of broadcasting, and that is a great opportunity, especially for preserving the past.
wait wat. so we all know yall only got rocket engines cuz its yoinked off the germans. but you also tellin me yall only got the jet engines cuz its yoinked off the brits?!
The mach 3, 80,000 ft, 600°F infrared target drone for a mach 5 missile. The closest thing to "useful" it ever got was identifying civilian targets for B-52 carpet bombing.
Lol, I was part of the Blackbird program, over a thousand missiles were shot at her, no hits. She flew wherever she wanted. Around North Korea, China, Russia, Iran, Libya, and yes, Vietnam. Do some research 🤔. Might learn something. She identified and recorded radar and missile signatures on every flight, among other things. Her defenses were second to none.
Your English is very good. Understood all of it. And California is California... Did you hear that 30% of the entire worlds corn and soybeans come out of the midwest? And that the grow wheat almost to the extent of Ukraine and Russian stepps? And the total value was over 350 billion dollars? The agriculture sector of just California is over 1 trillion dollars a year. And California has high tech (invented it in fact) plus manufacturing, movies (invented them in fact), and a military industrial complex that is unrivaled in the world. Comnibe it all togearher and California has a gross state product of over 4 trillion dollars making it the 5th richest country in the world.
@@Omar-kk9fp yeah, my retena detached Andi had to have it fixed, but they pumped ait into it and i habr to look down. I can't see shit yet, so it's mostly getting it close
Just to add a comment, thus is where it all began "Skunk works" that was w/Lockheed. Plz give credit, where credit is due. Kelly and other engineers, other staff worked tireless together to achieve many aircrafts modified Electra, iconic constellation (connie), so many others to many to mention. Look back where it all began, Kelly chose a staff that indeed were very gifted for that time early 40's and going forward.
And only a few can afford to live there. I went to an engineering job service after being "laid off" from a conglomerate subsidiary seeking a drafting position. I got a temp job with Hughes Radar Systems then a medical device company called Hemascience. Then went to a "job fare" at a Lockheed Div. & got the job... Then went to another engineering job service cause bills were getting hard to pay in Cali. That position came to an end in 1980. Recession made it hard to find work. Said goodbye to Cali moved to Arizona & went to work at a ready mixplant (concrete) Did truck tires , rock crushing plant etc. Cost of living way cheap but not many technical jobs available. STill here retired now. Couldn't have retiref in Cali , without ending up homeless. Weather is terribly hot here but living is pretty affordable.
That's because English Electric is in the little leagues and Lockheed is in the pro's. Thanks for the opportunity to point that out, I'd have never done it without you.
@@dukecraig2402 The Brits have developed aviation more than any other country on the planet in the past hundred years.Inventing the jet engine, Passenger jet aircraft, first virtical take off jet fighter, Concord and even the aircraft carrier to name just a few examples
Although in the automotive industry the latest big change has been the electric car, forcing everyone else to try to catch up, starting with the Germans that ended up not being so credible in their effort. That revolution was sparked by the United States, and someone born in South Africa (Musk). Factor in China as well, as they have been on top of that for a long time, although their global presence is not yet evident. As for motorcycles, the maximum expression being MotoGp, Ducati has been obliterating Japanese brands like Honda and Yamaha for a couple of years despite being a bug compared to the Asian brands. Today the field is being ruled by Europeans (Ducati, KTM and Aprilia) with the Japanese struggling to catch up, and Honda even resorting to have Europeans build their chassis, which was unheard of. The pinnacle of the automotive world (F1) is dominated by the Brits (with some rare exceptions thanks to Ferrari), and even when Mercedes was recently winning, it was virtually a British team with a German logo. When Toyota entered the F1 world in full force, and with the biggest budget of the field, despite many years of racing their cars, they failed to make a mark, and when Honda sold their uncompetitive team for $1 (Brawn), the Brits won the championship the 1st year.
And now that we've seen what a failure the F-35's lift fan has been, do we feel that Boeing should've won that competition instead? Even despite it being the ugliest plane ever constructed? Yes, even uglier than a French inter-war bomber?
Failure? 😆😆😆 if it was such a " failure why did Italy, UK and Japan buying the B model. Ignorant people like you should learn to do research and quit being so uninformed
It is actually not an AI voiceover, but the pitch was changed... If you did not like it, we have a newer/updated version where the voice has the original pitch (new narrator): ruclips.net/video/IqfXPFVGc0k/видео.html We only released part 1 for now.

As for motorcycles, the maximum expression being MotoGp, Ducati has been obliterating Japanese brands like Honda and Yamaha for a couple of years despite being a bug compared to the Asian brands. Today the field is being ruled by Europeans (Ducati, KTM and Aprilia) with the Japanese struggling to catch up, and Honda even resorting to have Europeans build their chassis, which was unheard of.
The pinnacle of the automotive world (F1) is dominated by the Brits (with some rare exceptions thanks to Ferrari), and even when Mercedes was recently winning, it was virtually a British team with a German logo. When Toyota entered the F1 world in full force, and with the biggest budget of the field, despite many years of racing their cars, they failed to make a mark, and when Honda sold their uncompetitive team for $1 (Brawn), the Brits won the championship the 1st year.
Supersonic speeds.I very much doubt that.Unrealistic . What would the "Enemy" make of this ?
And now that we've seen what a failure the F-35's lift fan has been, do we feel that Boeing should've won that competition instead? Even despite it being the ugliest plane ever constructed? Yes, even uglier than a French inter-war bomber?
Failure? 😆😆😆 if it was such a " failure why did Italy, UK and Japan buying the B model. Ignorant people like you should learn to do research and quit being so uninformed
Very interesting, but unfortunately ruined by the constant drone of an irrelevant and distracting background music track.
Messed up Brig. Gen. & FLIR explanations.
Great doco. But can't stand the AI voice over.
It is actually not an AI voiceover, but the pitch was changed...
If you did not like it, we have a newer/updated version where the voice has the original pitch (new narrator):

We only released part 1 for now.
It looks more like the pronunciation was changed, not the spelling of Lockheed. Can anyone confirm?
You prounced the name wrong
It’s not pronounced “A-Giss”. It’s “Eee-Jiss”. Aegis.
