How I Built the FASTEST Spy Plane That CAN'T BE SEEN! - |FLYOUT|

im starting to believe that this dude work for lockheed...

Ah yes, Messier once again brings this incredible game to the forefront of my mind, searing random plane facts and specs into my brain cells for my family and friends to indulge in. Thank you for the stellar content. Fly high.

(22:50) "As it turns out, human disentigration isn't very survivable" - Dr. Messier, 2024 (also, this plane is awsome!! I'd like to see a plane build just to go as fast as humanly possible whilst staying within the exosphere)

As a material science engineer, i loved this episode. There's so many weird shit you can do with the lesser know elements of the periodic table, not only heat absortion, just look up what your liquid crystal displays are made out of and be amazed, same as the Sidewinder's lenses. Great bird btw.

Was actually reading a book on the Blackbird, one interesting thing they found during Desert Storm that satellites have major gaps in coverage due to the nature of their orbits, meaning that on-demand, wide-area, synoptic coverage is difficult to obtain. Schwarzkopf himself said that having an aircraft like the blackbird would have been a huge advantage during the Gulf War, intelligence wise.

This is some top tier military technology. The research and creativity of this project is incredibly impressive

Here's an interesting bit about the SR-71: While on the ground, the SR-71 leaks fuel like a sieve. This is because the fuel pipes are designed to expand in flight, because you can't make them seal properly on the ground without thermal expansion causing the entire piping to self-destruct.

Another couple of issues with spy satellites, since they are generally placed in low orbits (to get the sharpest image possible), and those orbits are fairly easy to track and predict: 1) The enemy can at least in principle know days in advance when a particular spy satellite will overfly a given site and move assets or disguise them appropriately. Mitigating this would require a very dense spysat network, which as you said would be very expensive. On the other hand, a high-speed stealth recon aircraft gives much less warning time. 2) In a shooting war between superpowers, spy satellite networks (as well as satellite communication and navigation networks) would probably be in short order destroyed by ASAT weapons, due to having very limited evasive and defensive capability. Hypersonic recon aircraft, with bases far behind the front lines and speed and altitude to challenge even modern SAMs, would be much harder to prevent from operating.

The community NEEDS a guide / turorials series from you. 10 out of 10 video again

I love your planes and I think this one, which roughly represents an SR 72, is a masterpiece. I hope there will be a Steam Workshop soon. So that everyone can enjoy your aircraft.

"human disintegration isn't very survivable" Well that's my Christmas ruined

“As it turns out, human disintegration is not very survivable” Learn something new every day

That's when the SR-87 "Maior Merula" comes in, though slower and more expensive, it can take higher quality maps, it even works for topography, and more, it goes higher than the R-84, as if the multipurpose MK-2000 Camera isn't anymore of a "fuck off", the altitude would be more of a "fuck off"

Watching this video reminds me a lot about the darkstar in top gun maverick. They really nailed the design of a sleek, high speed jet, props to the team. And to messier for another great video.

5:04 LOOOK AAAAT THIIIS GRAAAAPH

I love that you started explaining these concepts more👍🏼

Great video! would love to see you do another of those high detailed designes but with a 3rd gen fighter!

Love the use of the F-15 engine start up at 24:43 great video overall!

The fact that the moon is such a high quality texture and that the curvature of the earth is a thing implies (to me at least) that you will be able to go to space in a later version of this game

"You were speeding, sir." "How do you know that?" "I saw your speed on the RADAR, sir." "I bought this car from the Air Force - You can't see it on RADAR!"
