marcos Posted October 2, 2012 Author Posted October 2, 2012 I understood that the upper limit was more to do with the diffusion bonding and super plastic forming used on the airframe and the effect of heat than the limitations of drag. It was always quoted as Mach 2+.

marcos Posted October 2, 2012 Author Posted October 2, 2012 (edited) Not in fact No super plastic in craft.:thumbup: ? Not plastic, super plastic forming. The randome is GFRP I think though. Edited October 2, 2012 by marcos
Pyroflash Posted October 2, 2012 Posted October 2, 2012 (edited) ? Not plastic, super plastic forming. The randome is GFRP I think though. He thinks you mean 'the forming of super plastic' rather than the plasitcisty of forming. And radome's are almost always made of lightweight composite materials, so you are probably right. There may or may not be some metal bits to help with the wave modulation though. Edited October 2, 2012 by Pyroflash If you aim for the sky, you will never hit the ground.
