Lockheed Blackbird As The Ultimate Spy Plane

By Tameka Ware


The Lockheed Blackbird has been one of the most distinct airplanes to fly around the military for the United States of America. It has helped solidify the superiority of the United States Military forces all around the world. It was the fastest machine that the country has ever made and have been sent to top secret missions in East Asia. These were thought to have aided many people in the country.

The design came from the Central Intelligence Agency which was then developed and continuously improved until the plane first flew on the twenty fifth day of April of Nineteen fifty two. Thirteen airplanes were built with two variants each and are developed as prototypes. The aircraft were deployed in military missions in Korea and Vietnam.

The plane first took off on December of nineteen sixty four. It has been in service until the year ninety ninety eight. The fastest plane ever built is capable of speeds up two thousand two hundred eighty miles per hour at sixteen mile above the surface of the earth. It id during the top speeds that the plane is able to reach surface temperatures of nine hundred degrees.

It is said that there were thirty two blackbirds that were made under the system. This is a two seater plane which is only available to qualified and experienced pilots in the place. In order to be qualified to fly the jet, the person should always have at least one thousand five hundred jet flying time which will be used by well knowledgeable military officers.

The plane uses exotic fuels that were tried ans tested until the scientist have formulated something that pilots could use. It uses liquid hydrogen mixture which is composed of hydrocarbons, alkanes and other fluorocarbons. This have disguised the exhaust signature from the radar. The plane was also prone to minor fuel leaks.

Pilots are required to wear standard masks and suits which provides the crew with enough oxygen to last them during the flight. The pressurized suits was made in a way that allows movement and at the same time give the person conditions which is similar to the ground below. These suits were similar to those that are being used in the space shuttles.

There are many people who needed to make sure that there are other people who needed to make sure that no one could make these things a bit more plausible. This new fabrication has made people into a better person today. The fabrication methods of the aircraft were one of the main concerns. The welding of titanium required distilled water.

There are sensors and payloads which have included an infrared imagery systems and a side looking airborne radar. There are also Electronic Intelligence systems which are the defensive systems of the plane. There are missiles and airborne fighters of the material. A camera which is a single focal length has been installed.

Millions of dollars has been spent by the government to make the Lockheed blackbird a reality. The aircraft was in service from the early sixties up until the late nineties. This has been touted as one of the revolutionary aircraft of the time.
