@@theguiguid42 I was told the stories by a friend in the USAF intel (I was US Army Intel) they are kind of involved (ie. not short) stories but I will tell you one was over Vietnam (late 1960.s) with several SA-2's coming after it and another occurred in the late 70.s in Europe when the Russians tried to intercept an SR71 near to St Petersburg with multiple interceptors. The last one that I know of was over the Med. with SA.s coming up to say Hi. On those occasions the pilots turned off the speed limiter and pushed the throttles to the wall. The european one took him over France and into the Atlantic to slow down enough to turn back to a tanker before he was dry (uhh that is out of fuel)
The Darkstar in Microsoft Flight Sim is the best! I did a flight from SF to Cape Canaveral, flew a couple degrees off course and wound up flying over the Great Lakes a few minutes after starting the Scramjet LOL
I don't know if you've seen the Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 Darkstar, but that one is incredibly modeled and really satisfying to watch. The effects are amazing, and it also gives you a pretty good real-world demonstration of how fast it is.
I took off with the Darkstar in MSFS from Copenhagen at about 22:30-23:00 real time, sun had set and it was dark outside, flew to New York in less than 1 hour and cought up with the light and landed at around 18:00 NYC Time (00:00 Copenhagen time). Flew at Mach 10.0 at 275.000ft Alt. I believe I had about 2% fuel left when I landed.
Does he even have battlefield 5? Man, I would buy a singleplayer game with a story focused on the tank commander of the The Last Tiger and his buddy (the driver). I imagine such a game would have 4 or so campaigns each focusing on different years of the war.
Day 514: Phly, I challenge you to the conphusing aerial smokescreen challenge. Destroy three enemy aircrapht with smoke shells in a single game. Good luck. o7
Let's not forget the X-15 rocket plane. Most of its flights were in the Mach 5 range. It went up to Mach 6.7 (once) which took drop tanks for extra burn time, and an ablative coating to take the heat for the extra seconds, on top of a design that already couldn't take off under its own power. Improving on that is possible but "easy" is not the word for it.
So as an A&P I would Imagine countersunk rivets would be used, after that paint/primer followed by stealth coating. A lot of jets especially Air Force planes have thousands of rivets you wouldn’t know are there unless you sandblasted the plane.
Nice vid, bud. As I watched your video, you mentioned the Black Bird in 1966, and my thoughts rushed to my latest experience with the F-104 Starfighter. It was pretty impressive for its time in 1954...in only nine years from the end of WW2, German tech took the USA to this fantastic speed machine. You are pretty much untouchable if you play it right at BR 9.3.
Oh man. If it was easy to build something like the Darkstar, it would already exist😂. Mach 10 with airbreathing engines and a fully capable aircraft may be on the horizon, but we are definitely not there yet.
Bro, the weather? Pensacola FL today, 92 degrees and 100 percent humid. Born and raised. Sweat out whatever ails you in 5 seconds. Food poisoning, alcohol poisoning, rattlesnake bite, ebola, wife and kids, government b.s. dude.
You'd need a map the size of the US to properly fly this. as for the engine, Lockheed already has the engine it's a air breathing rocket. they bought the rights from UK's Reaction engines. it's capable of mach 6, and Lockheed has the contract for a one hour anywhere on earth attack plane... no joke. been following this stuff since i was 8 in the 80s.
So, the way to get Mach 10 is go to 35-40k feet up, go upside down and do probably a 20k feet dive, turn on scram jet and then you should get Mach 10 from there.
Phly, you've brought back the "Everybody" intro right? Well, there has been a certain song kinda stuck _In My Head_ phor a while that you could also bring back! Attempt # 590 The song i mean is Virtual Riot - In My Head (feat. PRXZM)
You're just at the grand canyons enjoying the views, the magnificent Cliffs, and the unbelievable power of water, and suddenly a shiny metal thing going over mach 1 just dodging and weaving through said Cliffs rips right passed you and lifts you and your family off the ground cars go flipping and every beam or rope holding you away from the ledge gets ripped out of the ground and sucked into the wind turbulence.. all this happen within a second with how fast its going and the wind turbulence is trapped in a open top barrel giving one way to escape and immense amount of psi to build
I took off with the Darkstar in MSFS from Copenhagen at about 22:30-23:00 real time, sun had set and it was dark outside, flew to New York in less than 1 hour and cought up with the light and landed at around 18:00 NYC Time (00:00 Copenhagen time). Flew at Mach 10.0 at 275.000ft Alt. I believe I had about 2% fuel left when I landed.
Whats wild is they basically green screened the plane into the movie by using a different plane... It was also filmed around the Feather River Canyon in California, an area of northern california that has actually had a history in classic films such as The Adventures of Robin Hood.
My guilty pleasure is playing the ugly and seemingly useless T55E1 in 7.3/7.7. At top speed of 80km/h I usually cap early, hide in a spot and take out soft and heavy targets from behind if all goes well. I know this is insane but you should try it. Also a useful way to save SL and get into a plane early game while helping your team with a cap.
You can juse the Me 163 too ( to see the Stars in Warthunder) XD. It fly in 26 Km Altitude at M 1.01 with 20% trust, also in real battle. The best spyplane in the game 😇
I wouldn’t exactly call it “very doable” (sounds a bit too easy imo) it’s a massive undertaking. US is working hard on scramjet, ramjet technology. Sure we will get there eventually, but it’s akin figuring out fusion reactors (which we are also doing currently, and I personally find that even cooler than hypersonic cruising.)
Nah. There's several tens of billions in aircraft testing funds over the last few decades that only really make sense if this is what we're using it on. This stuff is almost certainly in testing or even pre-production.
@@kirbyjohnson3756 No, the problem currently is as I stated cruising. Missiles propel themselves to very high speeds and then use inertia, or they may burn for as long as they need to get to their target. We have already broken mach 5 with the X-15, but it’s flight time was only 10 minutes after another plane carried it to high altitude.
@@thelordofcringe I just want to say that you are missing my point entirely. We already have model fusion reactors and and the pentagon + civilian sectors are working on hypersonic designs. IT’S ALMOST LIKE I SAID IN MY COMMENT CALLING IT “very doable” makes the whole project sound too easy, wow would you look at that.
Bonjour PhlipPhlip it’s been 4 years since the La-200 has seen light on the channel. It’s received buffs and a lowered br since the last time you played it was before China, and Sweden were even added. You should take it out again sometime Attempt #25
*Begin Transmission* Day 73. This scramjet thing reminds me of the so-called “Aurora” project that was claimed to be something from Area 51 or the Lockheed Skunk Works. It’s funny. We are advancing into the future, but we forget the interesting lessons of the past. The T26E4 Super Pershing is a part of that lesson. I’ll let you all think about it in the long run. *End Transmission*
A scramjet is still airbreathing. It's just a more effective technology for higher speeds where conventional turbojet engines hit their limits. They don't actually work at speeds below about Mach 3 so most of the time you used them was pretty much useless.
I mean the Chinese actually thought the Darkstar was a real plane they even tried get pictures of it with a spy sat unfortunately for them it was just a movie concept prop.
Dude I have seen this from behind in the clouds for a number of seconds it is more blended and thick near triangular, with two tail planes pitched towards the body over 10 years ago. NEVER will I or the people with me forget it. Before it entered the cloud and the rear grey black LHS showed itself for a few seconds through the cloud cover using binoculars, it moved just below the clouds matching the colour of the cover except it had 3 plasma red circles equidistant with a bigger white circular light in the centre, no silhouette. It appeared from almost no where, no sound and slowly moved popping just under the clouds for about 5 minutes. I reported it and it is logged, I know my aircraft and tried to be a pilot, others reported it as it moved up the country towards the base not in USA at the time where it was spotted several times by locals. Still amazed about how it mimiced the background, BUT had these 3 plasma and central burning bright lights just before Dusk, then when it entered cloud and I got a look it was no alien craft it was a chunky more fighter like than the B2 in look it is a monster. No BS dude, what ever you want to call it SR-72, Aurora, SR-91 or TR3-B the "Lockheed" aided Top Gun craft is like a Mustang from WW2 in comparison, what made me laugh was BAE systems were doing trials on the Invisible Tank where it merged into the background for stealth using panels that were like TVs. Made me laugh when I saw it for real, obviously it could mimic any aircraft within reason, an ex-engineer who worked with Lockheed and other companies said they could have built that in the 1960`s. A design was on the table and he hinted it was built as a prototype test bed but dismantled afterwards. True story, where the tech is from who knows but Uncle Sam has had a SR-71 replacement for decades.
Can we plz see the T32 non-e1 get love on the channel? I like that you're promoting others (wholesome 100 imo) but could you perhaps spread that love to a tank that is always inferior because the E1 version gets researched at the same time as the non-E1?
Sub to POLAKAS Chaneel lets get him to 1000 subs! www.youtube.com/@polaska_tyu
Thanks to him for allowing me to play this model!
Yes sir
Day 2 of asking Phly to play the Scharnhorst again...
I cant thank you enough, nor anyone who subscribes. My deepest thanks to all 😭
As one Mr.Clarkson once so rightly said:
"SPEED never killed anybody! Suddenly becoming stationary? THAT'S what gets you!"
Hey phly have you ever considered looking into a game called fly out?
Combat video and mission file will be out Friday or Saturday, for you to download and play!
you should do the darkstar flight on microsoft flight sim as well as the other top gun content on there!
Get good soon!
cant wait
Get good soon man
bros the goat
Nice to see him finally get the recognition he deserves on his models, you should watch his livestreams where he shows the development process!
My favorite SR-71 story will always be the LA speed story. Love seeing the darkstar in this as well
There are even cooler stories about the SR-71 like the three times the speed restriction was turned off in order to get out of some sticky situations.
@@mrmean1322 Can you give a litle details on those stories ?
@@theguiguid42 I was told the stories by a friend in the USAF intel (I was US Army Intel) they are kind of involved (ie. not short) stories but I will tell you one was over Vietnam (late 1960.s) with several SA-2's coming after it and another occurred in the late 70.s in Europe when the Russians tried to intercept an SR71 near to St Petersburg with multiple interceptors.

Yeah msfs2020's darkstar is fun as hell to fly.
Ac7's darkstar is fun for the fact it's a high-speed interceptor instead of a reconnaissance aircraft.

Day 64 of asking PHLY to play The Last Tiger in Battlefield for German suffering and glorious Glorifica
Yes!!!
Does he even have battlefield 5?
Man, I would buy a singleplayer game with a story focused on the tank commander of the The Last Tiger and his buddy (the driver). I imagine such a game would have 4 or so campaigns each focusing on different years of the war.
KURZ!!!!
Same. That war story had so much thought put into it. Whole thing hit like a truck emotionally
No
Everyone else: "What a cool model"
Me: "OH GOOD LORD PLEASE NO THE INTAKE FAN IS DIRECTLY EXPOSED TO MACH 5.5 WINDS"
1:33 "in 1966, thats 60 years ago" wow, Phly really is living in 2020s, thought we were in 2000
We need more top-gunnery from phly
Not me being fully invested in the pull after the bomber "love tap" yelling out "PULL PULL PULL PULL PULL"
Navy aviation mechanic here, they DEFINITELY use flush rivets on anything that can approach Mach 1 or go past it👍
Imagine seeing the x-15 which retired in 1968 going mach 6.7
Day 514: Phly, I challenge you to the conphusing aerial smokescreen challenge. Destroy three enemy aircrapht with smoke shells in a single game. Good luck. o7
4 likes 0 comments? Lemme fix that
Still almost impossible and waaaaaay to difficult
It reminds me of AC7 opening scene "WWhen I close my eyes, the sky in my dreams is a deep dark blue"
Been watching your vids for around 6 years Phly. Keep it up my man!
So this was the one we saw the other day on reddit. Looks awesome!
Let's not forget the X-15 rocket plane. Most of its flights were in the Mach 5 range.

This brings me back to 1992 and rumors swirling of a hypersonic "Aurora" aircraft with distinctive 'donuts on a rope' contrails ....
So as an A&P I would Imagine countersunk rivets would be used, after that paint/primer followed by stealth coating. A lot of jets especially Air Force planes have thousands of rivets you wouldn’t know are there unless you sandblasted the plane.
"It's not that complicated..."
Literally only hypersonic vehicles have been unmanned test vehicles
Best vid you've done in years mate, cheers!
"Ten thousand million likes"
Im doing my part!

Forget the 1960s I'm still impressed with the Blackbird to this day it's literally a technological achievement
note the audio bug around 2:50
theres nothing wrong with it, but theres definitely something wrong with me.
I was sad I thought u we’re gonna be on a longer tank run. Glad your phlying again.
Welds break with the constant expansion and contraction. Rivets allow for movement so it does not break.
The Darkstar is a jet of all time
"lets j out here"
Pilot: NO NO NO NOOOOOOO
Bro, the weather? Pensacola FL today, 92 degrees and 100 percent humid. Born and raised. Sweat out whatever ails you in 5 seconds. Food poisoning, alcohol poisoning, rattlesnake bite, ebola, wife and kids, government b.s. dude.
*tries out a plane from Top Gun: Maverick*
*manages to end up in a flat spin*
Maverick:"All right sweetheart. One last ride."
Damn. Got almost halfway to orbital velocity :p that thing is SICK
The Microsoft sim mission goes so hard
Alright the last time Phly shouted someone out we ended up with Oddbawz.. so never know...
For some reason when i play the simulator controls it returns me level in roll axis but here it seems like it stays on the position
That thing looks like a space ship. Absolutely gorgeous.
it basically is a space ship
seeing this on my bday! great video phly!
Day 82, we've seen the Sturmtiger and ASU-57 at top tier, Now we want to se the RBT-5 at top tier WITH OddBawz and Spookston.
You'd need a map the size of the US to properly fly this. as for the engine, Lockheed already has the engine it's a air breathing rocket. they bought the rights from UK's Reaction engines. it's capable of mach 6, and Lockheed has the contract for a one hour anywhere on earth attack plane... no joke. been following this stuff since i was 8 in the 80s.

Phly can you do a video on the bf109-K4 i will very appreciate it. Have a good day,hope you feel better.
“flush riveting” if that’s a thing. well yes phly it is. even a cessna has flush riveted on the leading edges of the wings
Phly: Let me show some speed. Half hour later... Booom yA, recover from flat spin. waiting for speed test on next video.
SR-71's legacy is over 9000
Awesome 😎 and who ever did that model that’s amazing 😻

War Thunder in general doesn't allow jets to actually go Mach 2 properly, they really oughta change that by now.
Hmm, internals are modeled? I guess Tom Cruise is too 😆
Whats wild is they basically green screened the plane into the movie by using a different plane... It was also filmed around the Feather River Canyon in California, an area of northern california that has actually had a history in classic films such as The Adventures of Robin Hood.
Imagine if custom battles could have the darkstar or even the blackbird
What would you even do with them tho
Yey I was looking for something to watch
Let’s go new phly
Sr 71 and sr 72 more like father and son

if you really like that aircraft you should check out the dark star mission in the microsoft flight simulator. you can actually fly mach 10. :D
The plane does exist, they flexed it in the movie but told us it was a “fake”
All I want is the AT 802 in the game it would be epic at like 9.0 or higher since it’s a modern prop attack plane
ac7 vids would go hard

Hey phly can you please try the MB5? It is patchwise one of the oldest planes where you still don't have a video^^
"those are a lot of meters combined together"
A scramjet is still airbreathing. It's just a more effective technology for higher speeds where conventional turbojet engines hit their limits. They don't actually work at speeds below about Mach 3 so most of the time you used them was pretty much useless.
That isn’t the SR-72, the SR-72 is a Hypersonic Strategic Reconnaissance UAV which could have a test flight in 2025
Hey Phlydaddy, a little M22 told me that the T32 American Heavy really wanted you to make another video about him. He says he is fast.
Hey Phly, I’d love to see you play the XP-50 in ground RB. I know it’s kind of a meme in air RB but I have been having a lot of fun in ground with it
I mean the Chinese actually thought the Darkstar was a real plane they even tried get pictures of it with a spy sat unfortunately for them it was just a movie concept prop.
No wayy that’s insane
Day 11: Phly you should play the A21A-3, it's a 4.3 WW2 airplane with CCRP!
Dude I have seen this from behind in the clouds for a number of seconds it is more blended and thick near triangular, with two tail planes pitched towards the body over 10 years ago. NEVER will I or the people with me forget it.

Now please try the cobra in this😊
Unlimited missle or bombs of any make and model. Costs $89.99 usd
That save tho
How do you get this kind of plane I've never seen anything like it in the whole game
Hey it would be cool if you could Make a T-62 video next
3:10 is when he actually takes off
Love your videos phly
The Darkstar unfortunately would be Carbon, so it wouldn't be shiny by any means. Looks great, though!
There isn’t a single flat piece of terrain anywhere in all of War Thunder, always bumps and stupid shit on the floor to make you wobble around
He is the fastest man on War thunder ! :)
4:00 confirmed phly was or is a IRL pilot
Looking for a challenge? Try land tu4 with full bomb and fuel load. For the sake of the point imagine its engine fail and you need to come back
rivets are flush, its not strange its how like.. all that sorta stuff is held together
