Apparently the SR 71 was able to evade Soviet air defences simply because it travelled too fast.
The reason I am interested in this is that there were proposals in 1960/61 for a British ramjet missile (OR 1182) which would fly at speeds in excess of M = 2 and at high altitude. A report was...

This is updated artwork for the F-23A illustrations I did for Scott Lowther's APR article. Ogami mushashi had noticed some errors in the top view of the F-23A, so I finally got around to updating it. All views were updated. I'll probably do some updates for the NATF as well. I added...

While I cannot vouch for the quality of the...
New article from AW, including an image captioned 'This accurate model show the original KH-11 design that, like Hubble, carried about a 8-ft. mirror but with a shorter instrument base section.' Just looks like an image of Hubble to me & it would be a first for an image of it to be reproduced of...

Created as a holding place for the actual announcement due later today. It seems logical to separate this from the long-running thread on the Next Generation Bomber Studies. If the moderators disagree, we can merge it back.
Here's the announcement of the announcement, including a link to the...
This document has already been referenced in this forum, but I will include the link anyway because it is a very concise summary of the Air Force's search for a truly new advanced fighter:
Lyons, Major Robert P. Jr. (3 April 1986)

Anyone have an idea what the author is on about here, or is this unsubstantiated speculation...

With the AIM-26 using the same warhead as Genie, being guided, having longer range, and a quarter of the weight, why did Genie stay in service longer than the AIM-26? And why was Genie used on the F-106 with the guided AIM-26 being used on the earlier F-102? Anybody have any insight into this...
