First off there was the B-27 Designator has already been used in the aircraft inventory for a proposed experimental aircraft based on the B-26

www.wpafb.af.mil...

2nd you can't have a swept wing aircraft where the wings will sweep forward, The only swept wing aircraft design in the US was the X-29

3rd if you're referring to this as the switchblade:
www.area51zone.com...

it's nothing more than an artist's rendering, no a prototype, not a concept model just a design rendering.

4th so what if there is a patch that said switch blade on it? Do you really think if there was a secret aircraft squadron a pilot or aircrew member would even think of wearing the patch in a public location let alone leave it for someone to find????



are people really this gullable?????

F.Y.I. I do not believe in aliens and all UFO's are simply Air Force Aircraft. The big wing over Phoenix was a bomber with magnetic levitation engines, the USAF does have the Star Wars Satellite Laser Ballistic Missle Defense System, and the SR-71's capabilities are bigger than they say. It's top speed is more like Mach 9 and it's ceiling is more like 150,000 ft. It also first flew in the 50's, not the 60's. Posted by Albermarle52

I dont know about the B-27 being factual or not, although I would imagine it to be within the realm of possibilty. However, some of his other information is factual.

I certainly agree that the vast majority of UFO sightings are USAF X Craft, either accidentally exposed or more likely in a disinfo ploy. These X Craft do employ magteohydrodynamic/electrogravitic propulsion systems, and are based on technology over 100 years old, developed by Nikola Tesla.

If there is a flaw in his claim about the B-27, it is that these X Craft have made any advanced bomber obsolete.

I have debated the likelihood of the US having a functional orbital laser/missle defence system. It is known the the US CIA/DIA/NSA/NRO has an active orbital laser system known as BrightEye. This was originally used as a system to track/communicate with nuclear submarines at great depth, using a blue/green laser to penetrate ocean water to extreme depths to commo gear on the upper decks of the subs. This system has also been modified for the NRO to actively surveil surface targets in inclement weather conditions. In this role, the laser wavelength can be actively modified to penetrate virtually any weather conditions, and reflectively image a target, essentially like taking a huge flash photo from orbit. This gives an order of magnitude better resolution and dependability than IR photography and radar imaging, which are the only options for surveilance in bad weather.

I dont know that BrightEye can be used in an offensive role (although I would imagine it to be possible to blind a target population from orbit with it easily), although I am sure the NRO/NSA has at least considered it. In any event, any orbital satelite defence system has been rendered obsolete by HAARP, which can effectively strike any missle targets, even while still in thier silos, and has also been used effectively against orbital targets.

The SR-71 Blackbird information is correct. It was in use well before the date commonly accepted, and the X-15 rocket plane was actually used as a test bed for technology used by the "Skunk Works" exclusively, regardless of what NASA likes to say about it. The Blackbird does in fact have a ceiling around 150K, and has at least exceeded Mach 6 numerous times (dont know about it being capable of Mach 9 though).

The only aircraft *unofficially* designated as "switchblade" is this one:
www.air-attack.com...

That patch you are referring to is most likely this one:


At the time that the article about "the switchblade" was written, it was believed that the patch with "bird of pray" on it belonged to the switchblade program.

A couple of months ago, Boeing declassified their latest Stealth Technology demonstrator program called "the Bird Of Pray"...


You'll never hear me say that mach 9 is impossible though, but it seems highly unlikely for a fighter aircraft to go mach 9. Mach 9 reconnaisance aircraft seems much more logical to me.

Oh, and one more thing Mr. Albermarle52,

If I ever see a post like that again, you will be banned!
We do not tolerate insults.

I'll keep an eye on you for a while.

I can't bealive in mach 9. 1mach is 1200kmh depend of air presur and altitude. I don't think that any material can hold tempeture on mach 9. And what about G-force on pilot. Posted by Serbian Spirit

I hate to break it to you, but mach 9 has been broken long ago. I dont know that the SR 71 is capable of this speed, although it has been known to exceed mach 6 on a regular basis (although it is "officially" claimed to only be capable of mach 3). Albermarle is correct, the space shuttle routinely exceeds airspeeds of mach 25+ during reentry, and until Columbia, had a fine time of it.

Although no official information exists publicly about Aurora, the successor to the Blackbird, it is at least rumored to exceed mach 12 in straight and level flight, powered by Pulse Wave Detonation engines. (This is basically an *external* combustion propulsion system, where the fuel is detonated outside the aircraft, and the propulsion shockwave is confined and vectored by the mach shockwave which begins to conform to the fuselage of the aircraft at around mach 6. This form of propulsion is only feasible at extremely high mach numbers)

The original X-15 rocket plane exceeded mach 7 in straight and level flight as far back as the early 50s.

As for the G forces on the pilot, these speeds are attained gradually, not 0-mach 50 in 5 seconds. G Forces are equivalent to flying a standard aircraft. Keep in mind, going that fast, you have next to no maneuverability, so sharp banking, turning, diving, and any other dogfighting maneuvers are NOT on the menu. There was a story that during trials with the Blackbird, they made a 90 degree turn at mach 3, and they crossed 3 states before they completed the turn.

As far as how can they survive the temperature/pressure, well, materials technology is a wonderful thing! We dont have any credible information for Aurora or other X Craft, but we do know that the Blackbird was almost 100% titanium, with a special high temperature ablative coating. When sitting cold on the ground, it was actually very loosely fitted (body panels), and the fuel tanks leaked very badly. This was done for a reason, as at high supersonic speeds, the body panels would thermally expand, sealing itself. The crews, who wore the same spacesuits as the shuttle pilots, ate food in tubes, same as astronauts. There were stories of them heating thier lunch by holding it against the canopy for about 10 seconds.
