WHAT WAS THE BLACKBIRDS TOP SPEED? MACH 3+ ?

“45,000 horsepower is required to drive a 25 ton plane 1500 miles an hour (MACH 2.27) at 70,000 feet. … The power requirement would jump to 200,000 horsepower at sea level because of greater air resistance.”

45,000 horsepower 25 ton plane 1500 mph or MACH 2.27 @ 70,000 feet.

Nuclear Turbo Ramjet Lockheed A-12

320,000 horsepower 25 ton plane 2212 mph @ 90,000?

Using two PLUTO 500 megawatt ramjet engines a 75 ton SR-71 has 1,341,022 horsepower. This means extrapolating from the NACA numbers, it has 9.933496296 times the power needed to travel 1,500 mph at 70,000 feet. It could travel 14900 mph or Mach-23. If we extrapolate from the CIA 320,000 horsepower, then the PLUTO 500 megawatt engine had 4.19069375 times the horsepower. It could travel 14900.244444446 or Mach-23. This makes an average of Mach-23.

Using two PLUTO 600 megawatt engines a 75 ton SR-71 had 1,609,226 horsepower. This means extrapolating from the NACA numbers, it has 12 times the power needed to travel 1,500 mph at 70,000 feet. It could travel 17880 mph or Mach-27.

THIS MAKES THE SR-71 AN ORBITAL SPACE PLANE. 

The A-12 also had the horsepower to fly at Mach-3+ at sea level. 

The space shuttle orbiter, we know, orbits at around 8,000 meters per second (18,000 miles per hour) but it does a complete orbit in about 90 minutes. Would a geostationary satellite be going faster or slower?

RUSSIANS HAD NO COVERAGE OF DIEGO GARCIA A PRIME SITE FOR SPACEPLANE OPERATIONS

KENNETH ARNOLD'S UFO WAS A CANBERRA BOMBER

"Arnold estimated their size at about two-thirds that of a DC-4, and he calculated their speed at over 1500 mph by timing their travel between two mountain peaks of known distance." The length of the fuselage of the Canberra is 66 feet long. The length of a Douglass DC-4 is 94 feet long. This equals the two-thirds estimate of Arnold's. The Canberra test flight program began in at least 1947 and the plane was flying at speeds above MACH-2. Washington State, where Arnold had his sighting, was also home to America's nascent nuclear program. Hanford Washington was a major part of the Manhattan Project. The facilities there would have the ability to service the nuclear aircraft. 

TIMELINE

09 January 1946

English Electric received a contract to produce four prototypes, which received the Society of British Aerospace Companies (SBAC) designation A.1; work commenced on the construction of these prototype aircraft in that same year, which were all built on production jigs.

19 January 1946

Bell X-1 breaks the sound barrier.

October 1947

In response to Rolls-Royce's difficulties, English Electric elected to have the second prototype modified to use the existing Nene engine in place of the Avon.[6] The implementation of post-war military cutbacks also served to slow development.

THE SUPPOSED SOVIET NUCLEAR BOMBER HAD THE SAME LAYOUT AS THE A-3

BLACKBIRD HAD AT LEAST 320,000 HORSEPOWER

RADIATION EXPOSURE AT ALTITUDES UNDER 100,000 FEET WOULD HAVE BEEN SAFE FOR PILOTS IN COCKPIT

MANNED RAMJET POWERED PLANES BREAKING THE SOUND BARRIER IN 1948

This plane shares the basic layout of later Lockheed designs. It could be considered the first bi-modal turbo/ramjet aircraft. The turbo/ramjet SR-71 was the culmination of this research. Ramjet powered craft were achieving speeds that parallel the UFO sightings of the time. Kenneth Arnold in 1947 estimated that the UFO he witnessed was traveling over 1500 mph. Ramjets were traveling at 1600 mph at this time. The explosions that people were witnessing in 1947 were sonic booms. Given the fact that ramjets are only effective at speeds over Mach-3. We could be looking at a plane traveling Mach-3 in 1948. The plane was also most likely remotely piloted for the first flights until it was determined safe for manned flight. The technology to remotely pilot planes using television was developed in Operation APHRODITE .

1600 MPH RAMJETS IN 1948

HAS MARS BEEN USED AS A WEAPONS TESTING GROUND?

If America has placed a base on Mars, one use of the base would be weapons testing. Dr John Brandenburg in the article linked below has found evidence of nuclear weapons use on Mars. Brandenburg thinks that Mars was a involved in an ancient nuclear war. I believe there is a simpler theory explaining his data.

The United States set up a Mars base in the 1960's or 1970's. This was technologically possible using the Nuclear Thermal Rockets being developed under the ROVER/NERVA programs. This base is used for testing exotic nuclear weapons. It is a way for America to subvert the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty.

So, Dr. John Brandenburg is working an intelligence operation. He is dog whistling to the world's intelligence agencies letting them know that America is testing weapons on Mars.

The cost to lift this Mars Mission into orbit using Nuclear Thermal Rockets (NTR's) is 500 Million Dollars in 2007 dollars. It would have cost 86,210,000 dollars in 1968.
