When you're flying in a straight line, which at these speeds this plane, unlike the SR-71, will be doing, it is only a matter of time until another Zoltan Dani comes along and pops it out of the sky.
- protomyth 15y agoYou and all the down voters are crazy if you don't believe this thing can change directions. Looking at the whole D-21 / SR-71 program for what this do.
- burgerbrain 15y agoDo the math. It will have a turning radius measured in the hundreds of miles.
- protomyth 15y agothat is still a turn and given the need to line up a shot, just as effective.
- burgerbrain 15y agoIt's a turn wide enough to be effectively a straight line over a good deal of countries. We don't have to calculate out trajectories on the backs of notebooks anymore, we have systems that can do that in milliseconds. This is just one more in a long line of "unshootable"/"unsinkable" projects which will prove the opposite.
