Initially a prototype for a Mach 3 supersonic bomber. Program was cancelled but the first two were completed and flown for R&D purposes (joint Air Force, NASA program).

>>33199258

Ground effect aircraft. The idea was that the aircraft would stay low, below radar, while firing anti-ship missiles at US aircraft carriers or other targets from the sea, while traveling at several hundred miles per hour.

>>33199423
I think it would have reached the same fate as Concord. Supper sonic flight is just not fuel efficient. And considering the cost of a plane is nothing compared to the life time running cost, mostly fuel, that is very important. That is why nearly every larger commercial plane flies at 500-550 mph, the most fuel efficient speed, any faster would bring them into Trans-sonic territory where fuel efficiency goes down exponentially until crossing mach 1.0.

This and flat out human comfort, that Concord died, and monsters like the Airbus A380 strive.

>>33199540
Think about it more of an ultra-fast, super fuel efficient, boat for bays and seas.

>>33199568
Interesting concept. It would probably get wrecked by carrier based fighters as soon as it launched its first missile though.

>This and flat out human comfort, that Concord died, and monsters like the Airbus A380 strive.

A380 seems to be chocking as well.

B747-8I is pretty dead on passenger market and A380 provides niche service on some of the most heavily flown routes. A380 orders bookings since 2015 is two cancelled aircraft. There is proposal for even bigger version with 50 more seats, but that seems to be pretty dead at the moment. B747-8 is doing fine on freighter market.

Actual trend on long range market points towards B777X, B787, A330Neo and A350XWB. Three last mentioned can be operated from smaller airports and have ridiculously long range compared to previous generation airliners, allowing point to point flights, skipping the biggest hubs entirely.

>>33199585
You'd be surprised. The biggest thing holding the Concorde (and supersonic travel in general) back was the fligthpath restrictions due to the sonic boom. That limited the available flightpaths to those that went over water and were as far as possible within the limits of the technology of the time. Those two limitations meant that they really only could fly transatlantic routes.

NASA's working on fixing a lot of those issues with their research into quiet supersonic flight, and they've got a 3-stage program intended to revive supersonic flight. The first stage is pretty much calling for a supersonic business jet, and the specifications are pretty much "the same thing we have now but twice as fast." If noise wasn't an issue, we could have had those goals met in the '80s - current business jets only have a little over 1 lbfuel/passenger-mile efficiency, and meeting that within those requirements only needs an L/D at cruise of about 8. The bigger issue is sonic boom noise, but the two companies looking at flying supersonic business jets (Aerion this year and Spike in 2018) have done enough shaping to supposedly fix that issue.

A bit longer term is smaller supersonic commercial jets. With these, companies like Lockheed have already done a lot of the legwork, and it's really just waiting on a market to open up before they finish up the design process.

>>33199907
Boeing's market studies were spot on when they considered what plane to build next when Airbus was deciding on the A380. Boeing was making a fortune on 747s at the time, but they determined that the future was going to be point to point, rather than hub based, which is indeed the case.

Exactly, but point to point and hub-spoke business models are complementing. Major hubs will remain and there will be short route traffic to feed hubs.

While Boeing managed to get some new orders for B747-8, Airbus has pretty big backlog on A380 deliveries. I wouldn't be surprised Airbus will sell some more over next few years. A380 is borderline market disaster... just like B747-8.

Probably the most ironic thing that can happen on airliner market is what will happen with narrow-body market. A321Neo-LR has pretty interesting range, while Boeing doesn't have analog B737Max version as we speak, they will probably match what Airbus offers. Those might start to compete with wide-body market.

You don't build a weapons system knowing that countermeasures will render it useless even with a +/- 3 year uncertainty. SAMs and better radar were coming and would render the B-70 useless. Better to spend the money on missiles.

Let's look at some SERIOUS weapons, /k.

Some of these were thankfully never made, some of them were all too real.

They should remind us of the Cold War, when weapons were made to end everything, tear down all of man's works and leave nothing alive at all.

Such glorious madness.

The Sprint.

Designed to detonate a megaton-class nuclear warhead only a few miles above your own base, because as horrible as that was, it was much better than letting the incoming missile reach you.

The Navaho.

Intercontinental supersonic cruise missile with a TWENTY-FIVE MEGATON warhead.

For killing entire states.

Named for the God of Death.

Every bit as crazy as you've heard.

They actually built and tested every part of this monster, including the atomic ramjet engine,and it would have worked perfectly.

The guidance technology developed for this was used in later cruise missiles.

Example burst with fallout on Paris.

Removes Pepe, poor bastard, and the fallout wipes out Belgium, the Netherlands, a big chunk of Germany and makes Copenhagen uninhabitable.

That's a 25 megaton air-burst set to 80 percent fission yield, which closely models the big boys of the Cold War.

Kills entire states.

Heck, if you caught the wind right, that would wreck all of California. Not likely, the prevailing winds don't go that way, but the statement stands.

Not to mention that any nation state clobbered this hard would cease to function in hours and drop into failed-state status almost instantly.

They had parts on hand to build #3 and perhaps more. But they borrowed some to repair damaged landing gear and inlet structures during the test program. Officially, the unused parts were scrapped. But one wonders if some aren't packed away in a warehouse someplace.

Like noise issues leading to banning supersonic flight except over the ocean and stricter noise limitations around airports. Totally deregulating airline operations.

It would have been money sink for Boeing it had gone to full production, probably followed by government bailout. It would have been just another Concorde, impressive technical achievement and end up serving tiny niche market.

>what did the Valkyrie do tho?

It made Soviets develop MiG-25, that led to US and pretty much everyone revising their fighter, AAM and SAM designs.

SR71's direct predecessor, except it had nuclear Air-to-Air missiles

>>33245620

Honestly, good riddance. F-12 is one of the most stupid ideas USAF ever had. Fine for testing stuff like high speed weapons separation as prototype, but impractical as fuck for actual interceptor. Not to mention expensive as fuck. It's projected flyaway cost would have been 15-18 million while F-4 cost 2.5 million. Adjusted for inflation it is between 120 and 140 million, but that is just the start as its operating costs would have been insane. SR-71 cost for flight hour was around 85k, adjusted for inflation it would be in ball park of around 170k today.

Extreme operating cost might be justifiable for niche recon plane that produced valuable time critical intel, not for interceptor.

>>33245637
