With the SR-71, I mostly climb with the autopilot. Granted, I usually set at the default 1,100 fpm climb rate, but I didn't think that would be too much of a problem for the fastest (known) plane in the world, a plane that pulls Mach 3.3 at 80,000 feet. At some point well before 80,000 feet, the autopilot more or less fails, pulling the nose up into a stall. Checck WWW for somew real-life SR-71 procedures. Get her supersonic at 30.000 ft (this means an IAS of about 600 kts...!!!!)... and keep that IAS during a shallow climb. Adjust the climb rate accordingly - most important is to keep IAS. The higher you climb, the higher gets your MACH - until you level off at 70.000 ft with an IAS of abpout 600 kts at Mach 3.x. Bye Andreas |
