Sirs,
Since I'm given to understand that the Blackbird is your joint project, I wanted to run a few concepts past you after today's ride. Among them being Tempest-level shielding for the onboard electronics so that a lightning strike won't do more than raise people's hair. I'm thinking a cleaner, more efficient fuel that'll weigh 30% less. I'm envisioning a hard-air frictionless drag reduction system that'll boost engine efficiency to about 350%. I'm picturing variable-tension flight surfaces and adaptable angle-of-attack vectoring.
And that's just what I came up with on the ride back. My preliminary notes are under the shared drive under "Bird_001" through "Bird_008". Password is "Yeager".
