Haha no doubt.Awesome image. But that pilot would have some serious explaining to do, back at the base. "Major, tell me how you confused 80,000 feet of altitude with 8 feet of altitude?"
I work on water heaters… hahaha. Thank for sharing!Apologies if this has already been linked, but here’s a Pratt & Whitney engineer who worked the SR-71 program for 20 years discussing the development and operation of the J58, complete with lots of anecdotes. As a former aerodynamic design engineer at North American in the ‘80s and ‘90s, it’s hard to overstate how brilliant and over the top the engineering was that made the SR-71 what it was.
(Hope the link works. If not search “Air Zoo The Pratt & Whitney J58”)
PS: Cheers, JS, from one old aero nerd to another. And thanks, Nanner, for the way cool art.
