Fastest Planes: The Secret to America’s Air Dominance

Описание: Fastest Planes: The Secret to America’s Air Dominance
From the "Demon Wall" of Mach 1 to the searing friction of Mach 6.7, speed isn't just a number—it’s a violent battle against thermodynamics and inertia coupling. Discover how the X-15 and SR-71 Blackbird redefined the edge of space and why the F-15EX remains the ultimate "flying missile magazine" in 2026.
This deep dive explores the evolution of supersonic and hypersonic flight, analyzing the structural transition from aluminum to Inconel-X and stainless steel honeycomb to survive the "Heat Barrier." We break down the engineering genius of compression lift in the XB-70 Valkyrie and the brutal reality of the MiG-25’s vacuum-tube avionics. As we enter the era of the SR-72 "Darkstar" and TBCC propulsion, we examine the biological limits of G-force endurance that now dictate the future of manned naval aviation.
