Summary

DescriptionLockheed SR-71 Blackbird.jpg	العربية: طائرة لوكهيد SR-71 بلاك بيرد، يقودها مركز دريدن لبُحوث الطيران تحت مُسمّى ناسا 831، تنزلقُ فوق قمم جبال سييرا نيڤادا الجنوبيَّة المُكللة بالثلوج، في كاليفورنيا بعد أن تمَّت إعادة تعبئتها بالوقود بواسطة طائرة أُخرى حاملة للوقود في مشهدٍ من سنة 1994م. كانت النسخة SR-71B هي النسخة التدريبيَّة للأصليَّة، أس SR-71. لاحظ قُمرة القيادة مُزدوجة المقاعد بغرض السماح للمُدرِّب أن يبقى إلى جانب تلميذه. English: The SR-71B Blackbird, flown by the Dryden Flight Research Center as NASA 831, slices across the snow-covered southern Sierra Nevada Mountains of California after being refueled by an Air Force tanker during a 1994 flight. SR-71B was the trainer version of the SR-71. Notice the dual cockpit to allow the instructor to fly the airplane. Español: Lockheed SR-71, fotografiado en las montañas de Sierra Nevada (California, EEUU) en diciembre de 1994 después de realizar un aprovisionamiento en vuelo. El SR-71B fue una versión de entrenamiento del SR-71. Se puede observar que posee una segunda cabina para el instructor de vuelo. Français : SR-71B Blackbird, photographié en décembre 1994 depuis un avion de ravitallement en vol. Le SR-71B était une version d'entrainement du SR-71. A noter, le second cockpit pour l'instructeur. Português: Pássaro negro SR-71B, protografado em Dezembro de 1994. SR-71B era a versão de teste do SR-71. Note a segunda cabine para o instrutor. Deutsch: Lockheed USAF SR-71 Blackbird des Dryden Flight Research Center (NASA 831) 1994 über den südlichen Gipfeln der Sierra Nevada nach der Luftbetankung. Die Streifen auf dem Rumpf und den Tragflächen sind Treibstoff. Die Tanks dichten erst bei hohen Geschwindigkeiten ab, wenn sich die Außenhaut durch die Reibung erhitzt hat. Sonst verliert die Blackbird immer Treibstoff. Abgebildet ist die Trainerversion (SR-71B) mit zweitem, aufgepropftem Cockpit für den Ausbilder. Die Klappe zur Luftbetankung ist offen und die Blackbird war bis dahin noch nicht schneller als der Schall.
