Berkut Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 (edited) What is this thread supposed to be about, exactly? To post a random picture? There is research corner for that; http://www.arcforums.com/forums/air/index.php?/forum/113-research-corner/ It is carrying LASRE stand; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_Aerospike_SR-71_Experiment Edited February 10, 2017 by Berkut Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Slartibartfast Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 The photo has indeed been 'chopped. The shadow under the device is quite wrong for the sun angle. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MoFo Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 (edited) It's a digital render (or illustration) traced over a real photo, and spread by a bunch of clickbaity image sites. It's particularly obvious when you compare the two photos side by side (should be the first two thumbnails here). Actually, googling SR-71 photos, there seem to be a few of them. The original: The pod is just the standard LASRE though, as Berkut said. Edited February 10, 2017 by MoFo Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Decent overview here: https://www.nasa.gov/centers/dryden/pdf/120298main_FS-043-DFRC.pdf But basically, it was an experimental pod that could mount a functional model of the X-33 - which would be mounted on the platform - so they could test engine aerodynamics at altitude. (interesting to see the wingtips folded. Guess that's for carrier operations :) ) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
my favs are F`s Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 Interesting! Now i understand that this type of engine is tested on the Blackbird. I thought that it was for space-craft purposes only and was tested only on a stand like the shuttle`s main engines. Awesome photos btw! Yeah, :) the wingtips can fold to save space in the hangar of a carrier... :))) so 2-3 Blackbirds could fit in... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Why would anyone care whether he's bothered anyways? Never mind, members are able to make whatever questions they pleased. If he's bothered, that's his problem, you know.

My point was simply that we have forum subsections for a reason. People dont post propeller stuff (unless by a finger slip) in Jet Modeling for example. Or helicopters. I think people posting threads in correct subforums is a pretty bare minimal requirement. I never meant anything personal with it, just pointing out there are more correct subforums for that kind of thing, that is all. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Berkut Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 (edited) Research corner; Quote The Research Corner is the new forum to share photos of 1/1 aircraft and spacecraft, as well as being the new central repository for research info and technical information on aircraft. Jet modeling; Quote This is the dedicated Jet modeling forum Sure i am being picky, but what would the point of sections and rules (not that there is any on ARC, literally) be if they are not followed? Why cant anyone post anything wherever they want? Edited February 11, 2017 by Berkut Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Alvis 3.1 Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 (edited) There is a polite way to ask a post to be moved, and then there is not. Further passive/aggressive banter isn't required or helpful. It's an easy enough thing to happen. Not everyone sees the forums in the same way as others do. I'll move the post to the "Research" forum, as that is more of an appropriate place to have it. Al P ARC Moderation Team Edited February 12, 2017 by Alvis 3.1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mingwin Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 (edited) thanks for the move, Alvis 3.1 that kind of move should be done more often. sometime it can be annoying not to find the proper thing at the proper place... and seeing that happening more than often can be irritating for a more structured and rigorous mind. (sometime, i also have a hard time to cope with the fact there's 50% "functional illiterate" people in the western world t ...which mean they can make the sound they are reading...but hardly understand the meaning of a single sentence when reading! ) forums titles are like book's Index. why bother create them, if it's not to find in, what they are made for? if you can find words beginning with the letter "A" anywhere randomly in the dictionary, you wouldn't use it. rules are not just obstacles in one's liberty... they are also the foundation of civilization...
