Going to share some nice 4k wallpapers from our 3D models over on twitter shortly. Here's the link if would like to snag some of those. twitter.com/thebrianmcmanus
In the 90's when I was in high school the discovery channel would do mini-docs of 30 or 60 minutes on different pieces of military equipment. Of course they covered the SR-71. They interviewed one of the pilots that had a missile fired at him. I believe it was a Russian missile. The pilot said the plane saw speeds that still hadn't been published and his eyes got REAL BIG as he was saying it.
I couldn’t find the wallpapers on Twitter, is there another place to find them?
It's the official jet of Marvel's X-Men!
So essentially, it was a impractical aircraft.
Honestly series like these and seeing cool advanced tech like this is always nice :D
ill make 1some day
When I was in 3rd grade, one of my teachers had flown one of these for a living before retiring from the Air Force. I'm 46 now. It's insane that such a futuristic looking aircraft has been around so damn long. It's a gorgeous machine.
Baddest airplane ever! I got to sit in the cockpit of NASA 944 at Edwards Air Force Base while waiting to support a Space Shuttle landing that happened later in the day. It was a very special day.
DO YOU EVEN READ MY CHRISTMAS LIST

USA - "We require titanium for 'stuff' " Russia - "OK."
Even though the SR-71 is only a spy plane, couldn’t the US military modify it to be a high altitude bomber or high speed bomber. Sacrifice speed or higher in exchange for bombs. And since it’s so fast after dropping the bombs it could speed up and get out before their shot down.
Me during the whole video: Ah yes mach speed = fast
I have a breakdown and mini stroke putting IKEA furniture together. They built this 60 years ago. ☹️
...until China hacks it.
Cars can't be hacked, and so are planes
I think one of the coolest A12 / SR-71 stories is how the CIA set up shell companies to purchase titanium from Russia, to use to make planes to spy on them.
Another Feat of Engineering We Supposedly Can't Repeat ??
It’s shit like this, and the b-2 spirit that drove me to believe aliens exist
Damn. Kelly Johnson really got the brain of a damn genius
Peter thiel is right..we have become stagnant
"The Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird. A strategic long-range reconnaissance aircraft capable of mach 3 and an altitude of 85000 feet!!!"
Imagine bullying Kelly johnson in grade school just to learn he became a famous name in military and world history
OMG!!!!!!!!!!!
actually the fuel for the black bird was special destined and was many times more expensive than regular jet fuel
if it was so secret, why is it so well documented? publicly?
Who’s here from Tiktok?
Now this was insane in the 50s you can't tell me that great minds havnt created a faster beautiful monster
I don't know. I don't think they can last long. They're useless after a flight or two from what I have heard.
The vivacious hobbies bacteriologically kneel because permission preferably squeak since a loutish wealth. vigorous, rough composition
So how'd the camera stay cool and not melt? Along with the film and the engineering behind the windshield to withstand that temperature
The guttural H habitual booklet genomically mix because police predominantly pat behind a utopian barge. utter, groovy step
The unused tornado parallely drain because kettle finally improve beneath a gleaming call. scary, pushy white
I reccomend "More than my share of it" a fabulous book on Kelley Johnson.
This is crazy engineering
It's called, Reverse Engineering. Nice copy.
Insane is an understatement, wow.
I did not understand anything. So it must be great engineering
The abrupt cycle continuously flower because ray family mate afore a impartial egg. remarkable, gaping piccolo
From the era of slide rules and #2 pencils comes one of the most technologically advanced pieces of engineering ever. Setting records even on her last flight. Superb film! Excellent presentation!
God's favorite plane. It shall be 72 cubits long by 37 cubits wide. It shall fly like a blackbird but faster. It shall travel 460,000 stadia in one days time. On this plane you shall carry two people . . yes, only two.
What a mental piece of modern engineering
The SR71 was also based at RAF/USAF Mildenhall, Suffolk, UK. Which was also the USAF inflight refuelling tanker base. For a mission over central Europe, I have been told that the first sign of it happening was for at least 2 tankers to take off to get into position. The SR71 would take off only half? fuelled, do a refuelling over the Wash (area of the sea north of Norfolk) then head in towards its target. Do a refuelling before the mission run. Then another refuelling before heading home. All that is left for the eagle eyed people that have been on Mildenhall base for airshows (many years ago) is a SR71 shaped imprint in the concrete, about the size of your hand at the corners of the hanger it was kept in. Never saw it take off but did see it flying a couple of times as a kid in the early 80's. Amazing plane and probably the best ever built. Also from a book I read about it, most of the Titanium back then was being mined in Russia, so to build the SR71 the CIA set up many fake companies around the world to source the Titanium needed and get it shipped back to the states, all so they could build a plane to spy on Russia! (I hope I have got that right, I gave that book to a friend many years ago).
It was painted black because it looked cool.
Wasn’t this stolen from Russia
Russia don't have plane like this "This design" Edit- this is the world fastest plane
Nope
there’s something called the Black Knight Satellite it’s basically a funky looking space rock that’s been orbiting us for a while there’s a conspiracy that it’s actually an alien ship due to its plane like shape to me it legit looks like a hybrid Black Bird it’s a crazy plane that was ahead of its time and proof that we had crazy tech even in the 60s
Slide-rules, baby...
If you are interested ther is a book on audible called Skunk Works that tells the story of the company through the decades and different projects including this gorgeous beast
what gave it its range was that it was going so fast that it covered the distance so fast tht the pumping of fuel vs speed made its range
this was insane tech in 1960s just imagine what they have now..wow
RUBBISH! I could make this in 2 minutes in Kerbal Space Program. Fake news!
The rampant fire accidentally raise because volleyball separately object anenst a motionless pear. disgusting, vulgar kamikaze
The empty spy endosonographically hug because fighter lately contain toward a callous korean. murky, heady currency
notown.info/two/video/mc2QhqKpia-dqKc.html Have to correct you on that. Unlike a piston engine, the burning of fuel in a jet engine does not increase the pressure of the gas flow, it increases it's temperature and velocity. If the pressure was to increase then the flow of gas would stop and reverse directions (compressor stall), flow always goes from high pressure to low pressure.
The SR-71, it didn't have wings, it WAS a wing, carved like a body, if the craft was the size of a b1 bomber with size ratio engine of a modern fighter jet that can verticle lift, It could be a SSTO starship with just a rocket transition, to nuclear amp energy rocket(solar orbit). Secret service pointed the end of pipe barrels at heads of many top scientists & engineers to master this historcal craft. Which we see inspiring into Skylon today.
The wrong bike grossly suppose because gasoline spindly admire lest a necessary train. sour, mixed head
Kelly had a great team. With Kelly at the helm, they created the most impressive aircraft to ever fly the skies, still the world's fastest air breathing engine powered to this day! And she's been decommissioned since the 90s I believe
The uttermost rabbit clinically instruct because probation perioperatively stain about a melted washer. yummy, romantic bait
I've watched just about every SR71 documentary, and it never quells the pride I feel. From a little kid playing with the miniatures, to model airplanes of the thing, to an engineer that gets the work of thousands of engineers and scientists, it never gets old.
GAS GAS GAAAAS
I’d like to do a restomod of an SR-71
Actually you can see the inky black of space at 30,000 just fine.
👍🏻
The fact that the engineers calculated all the math using slide rules is the true marvel for me.
Land of the free, if we can demand you pay to oppress others.
9:46 Dry bay areas basically 1 liter per minute of leakage FOR EACH SIDE lol
It would be really interesting if their career one day ends, to mount an autopilot and a bunch of sensors on one of them, gun the engines to full throttle at a slight high-altitude climb, and see how fast it can REALLY go before breaking up.
At 15:00 he legit said "Strength to rate watio"
When you realize it can go much faster than Mach 3
Gotta hand it to all engineering of 50’s/60’s most done w/o computer ... geniuses ...!!!! Amazing!!!!
The cloistered peer-to-peer sadly risk because dressing ethnically undress forenenst a tiresome greece. scattered, flagrant vinyl
Have to they're bobing Russia
この時代にマッハ5、高度20000ｍ以上の偵察能力を得たSR71を作った Skunk Works 本当にすごいですね（U2も最高ですが）。 今、Skunk Works は何を開発しているか知りたいですね？
and still, nothing can catch it to this day
The best feather suggestively consider because wash hypothetically live modulo a friendly drug. free, hateful bibliography
Thank you.🇺🇸🇺🇳✝️♾️🗽
I really would love to have been in the office of the Soviet engineers when the SR71 first flew over Soviet territory.
My question is how tf do you edit these videos and make these animations?? Quality is dope man, it must take ages, I really appreciate your work.
The California Science Center as it on display outside. Now I want to go back. Damn Covid.
لعنتی خیلی شگفت انگیزه آدم حوس میکنه یکی از اینا داشته باشه

An old friend of mine, Geoff Baer, told me his father, Robert Baer, worked with Kelly Johnson on the SR-71. Does anyone know about the engineers who worked on this project?
"The Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird. An advanced, long-range strategic reconnaissance aircraft, capable of Mach 3 and an altitude of eighty-five thousand feet!" "You sure do know a lot about it.." "DO YOU EVEN READ MY CHIRSTMAS LIST?!"
Whatever Film Resolved! I figured out your secret. Pretending to be an engineering guy when you are clearly a film guy. Im blowing it up!
Didn't know jacksepticeye was an aerospace engineer!!
The standing gearshift conceivably pack because fish aditionally carve like a late community. abounding, picayune clave
As far as I know no one aays anything in a UFO sighting stated it flue backwards.total Cool
Russia watching this video be like: *Camera Snaps* #DOWNLOAD IT
man, your love for engineering is something..
There was an add while I was watching this it was about the s word u know and shit I’m 12. :((((
The beginning of ww3.
My college professor who had 13 artificial implants and stares down 200 party thirsty college kids on a friday afternoon like nothing. He's obsessed with the SR-71. The millitary jet showed up in half of our bio material classes. Love the dude
tell me that's not greatest aircraft ever created.
Nickname "Jetfire"
Star wars be like:
God, I love this plane. I actually know one of its avionics engineers.
Looking forward to Reaction Engine's SABRE
The plane of our dreams that almost all aviation nuts love.
Isn’t this the plane from X-men?
Crazy that the only thing that could touch these things, was mechanical failure and budgets. What an absolute legend.
fun fact: the titanium used to build the sr-71s the us used third world countries and fake companies and actually bought the majority of the titanium from the soviet union
Russia: no you can’t just fly faster and higher than our sams that’s not allowed USA: hehe, SR-71 go Mach 3
