New Secret Aircraft? The mysterious TR-3B

The TR-3 is a sub-Mach 9 vehicle until it reaches altitudes above 100,000 feet--then God knows how fast it can go!

Actually this claim is just about the only plausible statement in the whole article. Of course it is equally true of my '84 Nissan pickup!

[PokeyJoe]

=) No, that's my brother.

I am Batman.

No g-forces if gravity is neutralized.

No, No, No!
It is nuetralization of Inertia, or Newton's 3rd law..
The amount of energy required to move a large mass is lowered to almost zero...

The article neglected to mention a most important factor of the electronic "skin"..
It ionizes the surface of the vehicle, decreasing air resistance to practically zero. No resistance, no heat buildup, higher speeds..

Alien technology is sooooo cooooool.. ;oP

[PokeyJoe]

yeah, sorta like "supercavitation" torpedoes. =)

250mph underwater!

[Drammach]

Shhhh!

Loose lips sink ships!!

[xp38]

Well obviously this isn't ET technology at all but just stuff inadvertantly left behind by some Federation starship on one of those time travel episodes. They must have had too much Sorian Brandy and forgotten the prime directive about interfering with other cultures. :)

[Mr. Lucky]

Not a bad insult, on the whole.

[wku man]

Was it built by Yoyodyne Propulsion Systems?

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!

[Paulus Invictus]

The real question is, where can I get one of those engines for my car? That would be just great to overcome the need for gasoline. Not that I don't believe this story, but I have some doubts.

I did learn a lot from viewing Spielburg's "Taken" however. Is Spielburg telling the truth or is he just another RAT with a strange imagination. I say RAT because he did include some not-so-subtle remarks against Pres. Bush. Now how did that stuff sneak into the program? Anyone?

[dubyagee]

May be of interest...ping.

[Petronski]

Triangular? Flying?

It is nuetralization of Inertia, or Newton's 3rd law.. The amount of energy required to move a large mass is lowered to almost zero...

A small correction...

Newton's 1st: Inertia (Object in motion, stays in motion...)

2nd: F=ma

3rd: action has equal and opposite reaction

Even if gravity is neutralized, g forces still felt during acceleration/decel. (2nd law - 'a' is change in velocity vector)

[Cobra64]

Yup. A Shelby AC Cobra is cool. I built one a few years ago. Small block 289. Runs real well... Actually, sorta scary. Jaguar independent rear suspension with inboard brakes. The list goes on, ad nauseum.

[Petronski]

I had a TRS-80 in '84.

[xp38]

Ah the infamous Noelco. Haven't seen that in ages.

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

The triangular shaped nuclear powered aerospace platform was developed under the Aurora Program with SDI and black budget monies.

Specifics? 'Nuclear powered' doesn't explain much.

Technology assuredly developed from reverse engineering of recovered alien artifacts...

Uh, yeah. Right. Ok. Assuredly.

I suppose the transporter beams and the blaster rays will come later.

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

Alright! That's enough about tinfoil! Time for a picture.

[Valin]

It has been rumored for years that the military's black operations has perfected incredibly advanced gravity-defying triangular supersecret aerial platforms at least partially derived from ET technology.

Would that be Egyptian/Tongaese technology?

[Dinsdale]

It is nuetralization of Inertia

Don't think too much about what nuetralizing inertia would do to diffusion constants etc and what that would do to the biochemistry of cell walls, ion pumps etc.

[RadioAstronomer]

No g-forces if gravity is neutralized.

Now that would be a neat trick. Shades of E.E. Doc Smith!
