TR-3B: Myth or reality?
 
I was just wondering if this thing really exists. And if it does, the implications this has about advanced technology that is kept secret from us...

TR-3b

HELL YES! there all over arizona/nevada! where else do they test SECRET STUFF?

Many people have seen triangle type flying craft for many years, this would not suprise me.

The TR-3b came out just before the TR4 in the early 60's. It's an old design...

I seriously doubt we have anything like that operational.

dammmm! that looks like my H20 steamer cleaner head!

along the same lines, Winslow was an eerie place to drive through at night ...

yep...had the TR4 2.1 engine instead of the 2.0 that was in the regular TR2/TR3. Although, as an option, you could still buy it with a 2.0 for racing.

Is that one of those automatic robot vacuum cleaners?

Typically faster in a straight line than the rival MG's, TR's had a following. MG folks of course liked to point out that they corner poorly!

The TR7 was the 1st TRUE OPERATIONAL TR... But alas, the wedge did not fare well in either the 7 or 8 configuration.

Some people have far too much free time and a few rocks loose in their noggin...

We have some very interesting things flying but not this one IMHO...

gwood 12-29-2009 07:54 PM

Do you really think they'd take the SR-71 out of service if they didn't have something to replace it?

they do....satellites. however, they did bring the SR back in service after Sept. 11, 2001.

That's right, it's not a myth. From Toad Hall Cars:

1962 TRIUMPH TR 3B

One of the last ones of this series. Very nice restoration. This one has the 2138 cc 4 cylinder engine that goes next into the TR4s. Twin SU carbs and about 100 hp with a top speed of about 105 mph. The last Triumph model before being squared off on the door lines. In my eye, this and the Morgans are the classic Sporting Cars. Just fun to drive around in, solid and somewhat nimble.

That chart has some of the worst mumbo-jumbo on it I've ever seen. Couple that with spelling errors and it looks like something a high school kid made up.

Nope, no way that a space based platform can reproduce everything that -71 did for us. There are only so many times that you can re-task a satellite then its time to send another one up, and the cost is far too high.

The SR-71 was removed from service because of some disagreements between several fractions in the Air Force/political ranks long before they had the assets to replace it.

Aurel 12-30-2009 05:35 AM

The SR-71 always took off with gas tanks quasi empty because they were leaking on the runway before heat expansion of air friction sealed them at speed. It had to be refueled in flight just after taking off.
