Early American Jets - 04-04-06

It is amazing how fast record after record was broken right after jet propulsion was put into regular use.

Thats Charles E. "Chuck" Yeager next to the Bell X-1. He named it Glamorous Glennis and broke the sound barrier with it in 1947. In 1953, barely 6 years later, Chuck flew the Bell X-1A up to 1,650 MPH for a record Mach 2.44.

6 years later and double the speed.

The last public air speed record was established by William J. "Pete" Knight, over Edwards Air Force Base in an X-15-2A at 4,535 MPH or Mach 6.72 on October 3rd, 1967.

The USAF has kept the top record strictly confidential yet I would say that it must exceed Mach 10 or faster.

Thats friggen fast.......

and now the ramjet is becoming more of a reality. i'd expect it to take off (bad joke) in the next 10yrs.

I've got 1 question, why hasent this kind of jet technology leaked into the public or privet industries as other revolutionary technologies have in the past 40 or so years? Could the reason include non-human technologies?

what?

in an attempt to answer what appears to be a "conspiracy theory" question. jet technology, as any technology, will be more advanced by whomever can through the most money at it. obviously the gov't has deep pockets and pays for the technology. you still see some leak through to the public sector since many of the companies (like lockheed/boeing/pratt&whitney/ge, etc) are designing these for the gov't.

but it would also make sence to make any such knowledge available to the public and or privite market, Think about the access any researcher would have; the progression of improvement of such a technology would at least double.

this would also allow foreign countries access to our most innovative technologies, decreasing or nulling our advantage.

There have been hints dropped though every once in awhile by the USAF just to scare small children.

I would say that they have easily popped the Mach 10 barrier and are probably looking to double that

Mack 10 is 6,500MPH+++ that is equal to flying from San Francisco to New York in a blazing 45 minutes or less.

Though my curiousity is great I do agree with Patty that they need to keep it secret in order to keep our tech edge.

What kind of edge are you talking about? When we compare military technologies of our's and our "competetors" we have somewhat of a similar status, Most of that kind of thecnologies are availble thru buying it or thru espionage. The fact is that we are a power house and we can keep up the industrial needs of such technologies, but most other countries can't. If they can then they probably already have the technologie, but our forces are and will remain supierior in other ways.

we have one of if not the most advanced military. yes there is espionage but i'd say we keep quite a tight reign on our "secrets". if you think we sell our best technology then you really need to think about that a bit longer.

dude I dont meen it that way, I meen like another country buying some blueprints or somthing from a corrupt offical or somthing like that. I know we wouldent just sell technologie like that, that would be ridiculous. unless we made a major breakthrough or somthing.

I think My fave was the XF-85 Goblin.




The thing was actually designed to be carried by a bomber.

Jets could soon become Obsolite if we wanted them to be !
Come on we have the tech !! who needs air superiority when it's possible for ground based forces to netralize them and hold territory or if we put our minds to it we have the tech to build ships that could sit off shore and domanate a land mass while controling no fly zones etc.

We should just build some OGERS and BOLOS for shits and grins and launch them into the battle field !! Were far enough ahead of our enemys in tech to pull it off except for a few countries ! I was going to go on about MOBS Microwave blasters on tanks but found this lol !
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main...9/ixworld.html

In fact check this out from the link above !!
The armoured vehicles will be named Sheriffs once they have been modified to carry the microwave weapons, known as the Active Denial System (ADS). Col Hall said that US army and US marine corps units should receive four to six ADS equipped Sheriffs by September 2005.

The project was initiated only three months ago but US military chiefs intend to rush the Sheriffs into the front line, believing that they can be of immediate assistance.

In another development, the Sheriffs will be fitted with Gunslinger, a rapid-fire gun currently under development that will detect enemy snipers and automatically fire back at them.

If the Sheriffs prove successful, their use will be expanded in combat zones. They will also be deployed for security at ports and air force bases, and could take part in border patrols.


ALL-ARE-ONE
