Re: New FS/XX Cobra Jet
SR-71 much faster than X-15
In fact the Blackbird is definitely the fastest on the block... https://youtu.be/Lg73GKm7GgI |
Re: New FS/XX Cobra Jet
Will be nice to see Tony and crew at BES wreak havoc on the class with Ford power. Congrats Geoff

Re: New FS/XX Cobra Jet
Thanks ! Looking forward to another exciting season in 2019 and fully expecting a lot of uphill climbs on a very steep learning curve as we try to sort the new ride out. Should be a blast.

The SR71 was the fastest manned jet ever produced as far as we know. The X15 was powered by liquid-propellant rocket. The new leader in speed us now the NASA X-43, but is unmanned and hit speeds of over 7K |

David, we were cool with moving to a different powerplant but I'm not ready to quit driving, go autonomous ... yet :) So, went with the nearly twice as fast X-15 :D

Re: New FS/XX Cobra Jet
Nice ride, but I'd look for a new name. X-15 is a museum piece and is no longer in service. It was carried to launch altitude by a hulking jet bomber and dropped to fire off it's rocket engines. Really fast for it's time but not a great metaphor for a killer drag car.
Cobras are among the deadliest snakes due to the large quantity of nerve toxin in their venom. Scientists rate animal poisons in a scale called Lethal Dose 50 (LD50) the amount of venom that kills 50% of the lab rats that get it. Maybe Lethal Dose? EDIT: The SR-71 still holds the world record for man controlled air breathing aircraft. |
