In general, this is true, but I don't vouch for your maintenance. Some engines, like the one in the M1 Abrams, allow you to select a number of fuels.The SR-71's J85 turbojets were lit with something akinto lighter fluid. When the afterburners came on, there were right green shock diamonds. That airplane was finicky, but when you drovve it right, itcould sustain Mach 3+. It's official maximum speed reached is 2242 mph, Mach 3.4. Most experts believe it can do close to Mach 4. |
