UBond unqwenela ukuba nentaka enje.

I-SR-71 yayiyinqwelomoya eyazalwa ukulawula isibhakabhaka kwaye yenye yezona zinto zibalaseleyo zobunjineli ezakha zasusa. IBlackbird yinzalelwane yaseCalifornia, iqanduselwe eLockheed Martin kunye neapos; s Skunk Works, enegama elisebenzele nzima ngokwenza into engenakwenzeka.

Ngelixa iiBlackbirds ngoku zibabalo kuphela iimyuziyam e-US nase-UK, kwisithuba esingaphezulu kweminyaka engamashumi amabini besebenza babenemisebenzi emibini exhasa ubuntlola kunye nesayensi.

Inkqubo ye-Blackbird yayiyimfihlakalo, ingenakwenzeka, kwaye ekugqibeleni ingxabano, kodwa nakumhlala phantsi ezi zisezona jets zesini zibalaseleyo.

Nokuba ucinga ukuba uyazi zonke iimfihlo zeBlackbird & apos, impimpi elungileyo ihlala igcina into. Nazi ezinye iinkcukacha ezingakothusa.

1. I-Blackbirds inokubhabha kwiindawo eziphakame ngaphezulu kweenyawo ezingama-85,000 kwaye ngesantya esigqithe kathathu kwisantya sesandi (ukuya kuthi ga kuMak 3.3). Yile & apos; s ngaphezulu kwe 2,000 yemayile ngeyure.

2. Ezi jets bezixhotyiswe ngeentlobo ngeentlobo zezivamvo ezihambelana nomsebenzi ngamnye wobukrelekrele, iikhamera ezizodwa ezivelisa imifanekiso emnyama nemhlophe eneenkcukacha ezibamba izinto ezincinci njengeesentimitha ezilithoba ububanzi, kunye nenkqubo yokucinga ye-radar enesisombululo esiphakamileyo nesinokusebenza imini okanye ubusuku ngaphandle kwemozulu. I-Blackbird inokufota i-100,000 yeekhilomitha ngesikwere ngeyure.

3. KwiBlackbird, isantya sokurekhoda sasingenakulunga ngokwaneleyo. Babefuna amandla okugcina isantya esiphezulu kwindawo ephezulu kangangeeyure ngexesha. Oku kufuna izinto ezintsha ezinokumelana nobushushu obuvela kwi-friction ngokungqingqwa nge-1000 degrees Fahrenheit, ngelixa libhabha kwindawo eyi-60 degrees Fahrenheit.

4. IBlackbird yafumana igama layo kuba kufuneka ihlale ipholile phantsi koxinzelelo. I-Skunk Works ifake ipeyinti emnyama kuba yindawo efanelekileyo yokulawula ubushushu, kwaye iyayiphucula le peyinti ngento eyenze ukuba ingabonakali kwiradar.

5. Ukuqhubela phambili kweerada zaseSoviet, kwakuthetha ukuba uyilo lweeBlackbirds kufuneka zilungiselelwe ukuthintela ukubhaqwa. I-Skunk isebenza ngokutsha yaza yahambisa ii-injini kwisikhundla esiphakathi kwephiko kumzamo wokuhlisa iprofayili ye-Blackbird kunye ne-apos. Xa begqibile, banciphisa icandelo lomnqamlezo we-radar kule nqwelo-moya ubude beenyawo ezili-110 ngeepesenti ezingama-90.

6. I-alloy yeTitanium yayikuphela kwesinyithi esifanelekileyo kwisakhelo seBlackbird & apos; kuba yomelele kwaye yomelele, kodwa ukukhanya kancinci. Imisebenzi yeSkunk kungekudala yafumanisa ukuba yayiyinto ekhohlisayo yokusebenza nayo. Xa yadibana nezixhobo zentsimbi ezenziwe nge-cadmium kumgca wokuvelisa, i-Titanium yaqhekeka kwaye yayithanda ukophuka. I-Lockheed kuye kwafuneka iphuhlise izixhobo ezintsha ze-titanium zokwakha ezi nqwelomoya, kwaye yalungiselela iikhosi zoqeqesho olukhethekileyo loomatshini beBlackbird.

7. IiBlackbird zanikwa amandla nguPratt noWhitney J58 axial turbojets -iilizwe zehlabathi & ii-apos, ii-injini zokuqala, ngokutsho kwe umenzi -Ukukwazi ukumelana neemfuno zokubhabha ngenqwelomoya ngaphezulu kweMak 3.

8. Jet nganye yavelisa i-32,500 lb ye-thrust. Kodwa ngaphantsi kweepesenti ezingama-20 zokunyanzelwa kweBlackbird ukubhabha iMak 3 zazivela kwiinjini. Ibhalansi yaveliswa ngumoya odlula kwindawo yokungena kweinjini kunye ne-conical spike ngaphambili kwe-nacelle nganye ye-injini.

9. Iinjini ze-J58s zivelisa ilangatye eliluhlaza-tyheli-orenji kunye neenyawo ezingama-50 ubude, eziphawulwe ngothotho lweepatheni zomothuko emlanjeni, ezinokwenza ukuba inqwelomoya ibukeke ngathi kunye ne-apos;

10. UPratt noWhitney ekuqaleni bayiphuhlisa i-injini ngo-1958.

11. I-Blackbird & apos; uyilo luqala emva kweminyaka yo-1950, kodwa ubukho bayo bahlala buhlelwa de kwaba ngo-1976.

12. Eli binzana lishukunyisiweyo lingavuselelwanga linokusebenza kwi-Blackbird & apos; s ukhetho lwethiphu. Amafutha e-JP-7 asetyenziselwa ukunika amandla ii-Blackbirds yayikwangumsebenzi wesiko, owenziwe yi-Shell Oil. Iijethi zazifuna ipetroli yokungazinzi, ukufumana ubushushu obuveliswe ekusebenzeni. I-Blackbirds yayinxanelwe esi siselo simhlophe-ngamanzi, icocekile kwaye siqaqambile, siphethe iilitha ezingama-12,000.

13. I-flashpoint ye-JP-7 (iqondo lobushushu elitshisa kulo) laliphezulu kakhulu kangangokuba intsomi yesintu yaphuhliswa eSkunk Works ukuba umdlalo owiswe kumafutha ngomnye wabasebenzi wacinywa kwangoko. Oku kunokuba yintsomi yentlanzi-luhlobo luni lomntu ophosa umdlalo kwi-emele yamafutha ejethi? Kodwa ngokweMyuziyam yaseSmithsonian yomoya kunye noMoya , eli bali lide lisebenza ngokusemthethweni. Amafutha ashukumisayo asezantsi afuna ngaphezulu kakhulu komdlalo ukuba atshise.

14. Ukuhoywa kweJP-7 kubangelwe kukusabela kwamachiza nge I-Triethylborane (TEB) , evutha ngokuzenzekelayo xa evezwe emoyeni.

15. Intsana yomntakwethu omnyama kunye ne-apos; encinci engu-A-12, yayiqala ukubhabha ngo-Epreli 1962.

16. ICrisis of Missile Crisis ikhuthaze le nkqubo ukuba iqhubele phambili. Ukuhliswa kwesithuba sokufumana kwakhona u-2 kwi-Cuba ngo-Okthobha u-1962, kubeka inkqubo ye-Blackbird kwi-overdrive. NgoJulayi ngo-1963, i-Blackbird yayiye yaqinisekisa amandla ayo ngokubhabha iMach 3 kwii-78,000 iinyawo. Inqwelomoya yokuqala ye-SR-71 & apos yayi nge-22 kaDisemba ngo-1964.

17. Amaxabiso aphezulu okusebenza nokugcina ezi zithuthi zikhethekileyo-kunye nokuphela kweMfazwe ebandayo-kukhokelele uMkhosi woMoya warhoxa kwi-Blackbirds ngo-1990. Kodwa asinguye wonke umntu owavumayo. Amalungu eKomiti yeeNdlu yeeNgwevu yoBuntlola wayefuna ukugcina ii-Blackbirds esibhakabhakeni . ICongress ibuyise iijets ezintathu zaphinda zasebenza phakathi kuka-1995 no-1998.

18. Ukusukela ngo-1990 ukuya ku-1997, i-NASA yenze izakhono ezine ze-SR-71 Blackbirds ukuya ukuxhasa uphando ngezobuchwephesha .

19. UBlackbird wakhonza i-NASA ngenjongo yokubona isibhakabhaka ngcono. Ikhamera yevidiyo ye-ultraviolet ejonge phezulu yanceda ukulandela izinto zasezulwini kumaza obude avaliwe nguMhlaba kunye neepososososmos, kwaye azibonakali kwizazi ngeenkwenkwezi ezisemhlabeni.

20. I-NASA ikwasebenzise i-Blackbird ukuzama ukusindisa iplanethi, ngenkqubo yophando egxile ekukhuseleni nasekwakhiweni kwakhona komaleko we-ozone.

21. Ungabulela inkqubo ye-NASA Blackbird, ubuncinci kwinxalenye ye-smartphone yakho. I-SR-71 ixhase ukuphuhliswa kwenkqubo yoNxibelelwano lweSatellite ye-Motorola kunye neeapos, zisebenza njengesathelayithi eshukumayo ekhawulezayo yokuvavanya abathumeli kunye nabamkeli emhlabeni.

22. Inkqubo yeAeronautics ye-NASA & apos; s inegalelo kuphuculo kwinqwelo-moya yabakhweli, kwaye yavavanya amandla esiphithiphithi.

23. Inkqubo ye-NASA SR-71 inokukhokelela kwi ngcono supersonic abakhweli ngamava okubhabha kwixesha elizayo. I-NASA isebenzise ii-Blackbirds ukuphanda ngeendudumo eziveliswe ngokwaphula isithintelo sesandi. Olu phando luyanceda ukwazisa iQueSST yayo entsha kunye neapos; ukubetha kwentliziyo & iiapos; iprojekthi yenqwelomoya ethe cwaka.

24. Mhlawumbi oku akumangalisi, kodwa abaqhubi beenqwelomoya ababhabha iBlackbird bayayithanda. Okuninzi.

25. Kodwa abaqhubi beenqwelomoya abakwazanga ukubhabha kwezi nqwelomoya zinxibe iqhina elimnyama. Endaweni yoko, banxibe okhethekileyo iisuti ezixineneyo kunye neminqwazi efana nezixhobo ze-astronaut. Amathumbu emva kwesigcina-ntloko esiqhagamshelwe kunikezelo lweepesenti ze-100 yeoksijini. Ioksijini eyiyo ikhusele abaqhubi beenqwelo moya abanesifo sokungonwabi (yintoni ekubizwa ngokuba kukugoba) kwiindawo eziphakamileyo.
