US military to test world's fastest plane today

20x the speed of sound!

And they don't know how well it will cope with the stress and high temperatures..

I assume that is 3pm BST?

 

that looks pointless. they went way too far up for it to be a plane.

 

I'm inclined to agree

 

The researchers conducting the test have admitted that they are not quite sure how the plane will handle the test before they try it.

Priceless.

For everything else there's Mastercard.

 

And you americans need this plane how ?
So who are the americans going to use this to destroy now ?

The Russians ? No they don't want to fight
The Chinese ? No they want to sell americans cheaper replacement parts for it
The Iraqis ?? LOL What Iraqis.. they're all dead
The Iranians ? LOL Isreal will handle them and they're allies of both Russia and China
The Taliban ?? LOL Like this plane can bomb a camel in the Afghanistan
The Lybians ?? Nope, Ghandafi will just keep screaming for American to pay damages
The Syrians ?? I think we need tanks and armoured vehicles in there.


So that leaves the french of France and they're probably on strike.
Perhaps the american military can sell the plane to english Canadiens.
Because english Canadians are fucking stupid american ass-lickers with an inferiority complex.


What a fucking waste of money and resources.

 

Pointless? Have you ever spent 12 hours on a commercial flight before? I'm going with Darpa. Even if it kills me.

 

Uhmm, you do understand that that is the whole purpose of "TEST FLIGHTS" don't you.
No matter if it's a new airplane design or new yo-yo design, nobody knows exactly what to expect until you try it, correct.
Please think before you type.

 

Interesting. Notice they say nothing about propulsion or allude to it at all. I wonder what the propulsion method is?

Nuclear pulse propulsion has been being played with for a couple of decades now. I remember seeing satellite pictures of a pulse engine craft that was going stupidly fast, leaving a massive contrail across half of the globe. I couldn't find the image to show youso can't back that claim up.

One thing I'm sure of is that technology is far higher than they let on.

 

It's probably about as technically advances as anything I drive which all run on good vibes.

 

Well, as you wisely pointed out you can't know before you try. That makes that quote such a non-statement that it makes me laugh.

If you want to tell someone to "please think before you type", maybe you should talk to the guy who wrote that article.

Oh, and please think before you type.

 

Please stop fighting, guys, you're scaring me and the kids.

 

You brought the kids? How sweet is that? :sunny:

 

I know! Their parents aren't too happy about it, though, most are cryin; wondering who has taken their little angels away. lol I don't know what their problem is, I'll return them after I've raped them. No sweat.

 

I thought you'd be spreadin' some love around ....

Candy anyone?

Anyone?

 

Shut up kids, you can't have any. You can have a sausage to suck on but THAT'S IT.

They say that you shouldn't hit kids but I find it arousing to slap them on the back of the head while they are fellating me.

What were we takling about again? Oh yeah, planes. That's rad, look at it go!! So fast! Awesome!

 

This is a thread about planes?

I'm outta here. :leaving:

 

It crashed.

 

Well, that was a waste of time, money and resources. Joy.

 

lol
