Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird – The Plane Designed to Leak

The Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird is a revolutionary piece of aviation engineering, designed to push the boundaries of flight. The Blackbird was a long-range, advanced, strategic reconnaissance aircraft. It was flown at speeds up to Mach 3, or three times the speed of sound, and it remains the fastest manned air-breathing aircraft to ever fly. But the Blackbird had an interesting feature that made it unique - it was designed to leak. What this did was release pressure as the aircraft flew at high speeds and altitudes, allowing it to fly faster, farther, and remain in flight longer. The Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird is a remarkable aircraft, and a true testament to the power of human ingenuity.

i can't help but feel like the lockheed c-5 galaxy would be a very good pet if it was rather small

like if it was the size of a keyboard it would like being stroked

"The SST: Here it comes, ready or not.

Traditionally new transport aircraft have been adapted from military versions for civilian use. But with the US/SST, a switch may give the USAF an Advanced Manned Strategic Aircraft (AMSA) based on a civilian expenditure of billions in research and development funds. Here, Air Force & Space Digest artist Gordon Phillips shows how military SST would look during midair re-fueling operation.

C-5 Galaxy – The Big Daddy

The C-5 Galaxy is a large-sized military transport aircraft developed by the Lockheed Corporation and operated by the United States Air Force. It is the largest airlifter in the world and is capable of carrying large payloads, such as tanks and helicopters, over long distances. The C-5 is powered by four General Electric TF39 turbofan engines, which are capable of generating up to 43,000 pounds of thrust each. It has a maximum speed of 500 knots and a range of 3,700 nautical miles. It can carry up to 270,000 pounds of cargo and can operate from short, unprepared airstrips.
