X-15: First Steps to Hypersound

Already in the middle of the 20 century, the topic of hypersound became especially popular. Then we were talking about a large research program, which was to provide valuable information, both for military and civilian use in the United States.

60 years ago, flight tests of the world's first manned flying vehicle, the North American X-15 experimental rocket plane capable of developing hypersonic speed and performing suborbital flight, began. These were the first steps to full hypersound.

It all started in November 1955, when, according to the results of the competition among aircraft manufacturers, North American signed a contract for the construction of 3 manned aircraft X-15. After three years, in June 1959, flight tests began.

The North American X-15 hypersonic experimental rocket plane owns unofficial altitude and speed records that were set for manned aircraft of the time.

How did the program that received the designation X-15? What was an experimental X-15 rocket launcher? Why did you control the aircraft combined? What are the requirements for glider materials? How was the X-15 controlled? What was the scenario for the vast majority of experimental flights? The answers to these and other questions are in the video:

There was an era when ALL who could rush forward, up, to high, global achievements in science and technology ...... only the time has passed, the tomatoes wilted !!!
Now they are eager for .... Black Thursday to the hypermarket, etc. !!! The era of consumption has come!
There were romantics, of course, but there are not so many of them all over the world!

It certainly was "the era". I remember those times, not everyone is well fed after the war, they are poorly dressed, there is only a radio in the house, but there was so much enthusiasm, enthusiasm, thirst for knowledge. And then consumerism broke our psyche, and everything went downhill.

[rocket757]

In general, that’s exactly how the end came for all empires! When the romantics, CREATORS, SEEKERS, were replaced by pragmatists - greedy, lazy .....

[Mestny]

The technological leap has ended. Science came up against the laws known to it - it became clear that we would not fly to the stars, and there would be no anti-gravity with teleportations either. Like mass exploration of planets ..
Hence the disappointment and stagnation, the appeal to basic needs.
The dream of mankind of the 50s, when it seemed that the future of science fiction was about to come, did not come true.
A fundamental breakthrough is required (as in the first half of the XNUMXth century), but no one knows if it is possible at all in principle.
Then mankind from centuries of stagnation jerked forward. Over the past few decades, more has been created than in the past 2000.
And - that’s it. So far, only sharpening a file invented then.

[rocket757]

We need a breakthrough, it’s obvious .... we’re waiting!

[Lipchanin]

Good film. I learned a lot, looks with interest

[gridasov]

A fundamentally new knowledge system is needed. It is necessary to comprehend the flight of the aircraft on the factors of changes in the electromagnetic fluxes, which at low speeds determine the hydro-gas-dynamic processes, and on the higher ones, namely the electromagnetic ones. It is high time to derive temperature as a parameter as a gradient of alternating electronic magnetic fluxes. ALL problems are reduced to creating a clear system of theoretical knowledge, including the creation of a theory of ionization. Therefore, Americans are decades ahead of everyone in the complex of owning an experimental knowledge base. And so they comprehend that the experiment is secondary. A theory is needed. Russia is following the beaten track, albeit according to its individual algorithms.

Already have an old / new theory!
THEORY OF ETHER - XXI CENTURY

There you can download the book:

True, everything is there for lovers of physics and mathematics with a square head!
But, nevertheless, the people are building hypotheses, it remains to test them in practice ...

[vargo]

So you think that Russia does not deal with theories? What kind of beaten track are you talking about?

[Undecim]

Gridasov, share the secret, how do you generate your comments? Or have you adapted some kind of software for this? So to sculpt a hunchback to the wall - you need to have talent and abilities.
By the way, Arrhenius created the theory of ionization in 1887. Or do you know some other ionization?

Gridasov himself is the software.

[Undecim]

But software doesn’t arise out of nothing. There is a director of the task, there is one who performs it. Agree that creating a bot that emits pseudoscientific delirium of this concentration is not a trivial task.

[NN52]

And who said that Gridasov is a bot or software? Sometimes he writes in a normal "language", apparently when he leaves the "astral" ...

[gridasov]

This is already interesting. Thinking people appear.

[Cat man null]

to create a bot that emits a near-scientific delirium of this concentration is not a trivial task

Of course. And therefore long.

Unwind the ribbon in the 14th year, read what "Gridasov" wrote at first ... about "fractals", for example. Well this song is just, unsung ...

What we see now is the result of five years of work.

Quote: NN52

And who said that Gridasov is a bot or software?

Well, I said ... I myself am somewhere a programmer, deep in my soul ... for a quarter century now

[Undecim]

What we see now is the result of five years of work.
Still to tighten the grammar. And the lack of punctuation marks in the right places sometimes breaks the creative plan and the delirium becomes obvious.

This is not for me, this is for developers.

Quote: Undecim

Yes, he (nonsense) is already quite obvious, even surround it with commas ... but in the 14th it was still interesting for me to "communicate" with him (Gridasov), now - no longer. The acuity of sensations is not the same

[gridasov]

Of course, everyone is engaged in the search for justifications and solutions to problems. However, it is not from the shelf to take the finished product. It is necessary to change the system for analyzing big data, primarily as a mathematical basis for modeling and substantiating processes. And this certainly requires a breakthrough in the field of mathematics of the analysis of large and dynamically changing data. Which is obviously not, since it is impossible to do on variable fundamental properties of a number.

[gridasov]

I can’t personalize the answer. So, in mathematical form it is taken as the basis for constructing the ether. And in general, how to mathematically describe the space of interactions in their diversity and interconnectedness, different dynamics and a combination of general and particular, etc.

[gridasov]

The ionization theory should include a combination of the transformation of magnetic force fluxes in their parameters, namely, a change in the dimensionality of the energy level, the direction of the change in the vector of the energy-generating flow, for example, continuous media, in the potential on the surface of the discharge, etc. . Therefore, the ionization of the sample of 1887, of course, is another

[NN52]

That's it ... lilies of the valley ... Like about Schauberger ... Gridasov, finish.

The dream of mankind of the 50s, when it seemed that the future of science fiction was about to come, did not come true.

In the mid-80s, I came across two reviews of the RAND Corporation related to forecasts of the space programs of mankind (without focusing on who will be and where will be the first). The first review was EMNIP either in 1962, or in 1964, and the second - began 80s, about 82-84 years.
One could see what the dream of mankind was and plans for the beginning of the 60s and after 20 years. Of course, more than 40 years have passed and there is nothing to mention, but for example, the first review predicted a landing on Venus and Mars in about 1975-1978, on Pluto in 1995-1998, going beyond the solar system (by manned spacecraft) around 2005-2010 and the achievement of the nearest stars is the middle of the 21st century.
In the second, plans for landing on Mars were already attributed to about 2030, to Pluto by the end of the century, and going beyond the SS and reaching other stars generally in the middle of the 23rd century
