Lockheed A-12 | Speed matters
The story of the battle between engineers and the laws of physics, which created an aircraft whose capabilities are still amazing. Welcome to the Age of Archangels.
The A-12 is a high-speed, high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft created by the Lockheed Skunk Works division for the CIA under the Oxcart program in the early 1960s. The breakthrough design and power plant gave the aircraft the ability to fly at a cruising speed of more than Mach 3, which, for that time, was a revolutionary achievement.
The Oxcart project and the A-12 itself, led by the CIA for a long time, were strictly classified. This, along with the limited number and duration of service, was the reason why the strategic reconnaissance plane SR-71 became the famous representative of the heirs of the Archangel, although the...

Just as the iconic SR-71 Blackbird, the stealthiest jet at the time, was being unveiled to the
public, a similar, if not more agile aircraft was undergoing secret testing. And rather than coming
from the US Air Force, its development came at the request of the CIA in a project known as
Oxcart. On May 31, 1967, the American aircraft taxied at Kadena Air Force Base, Okinawa,
Japan, for her maiden flight. Codenamed BLACK SHIELD, the mission began with the secret jet
taking off in the rain, traveling 1,500 miles through North Vietnamese airspace, and swiftly
turning home. Lockheed Martin's highly-classified A-12 objective was to perform
reconnaissance missions while flying at three times the speed of sound. Well ahead of its time,

Faster, Higher And More Secret Than The SR-71 Blackbird - The A-12 Oxcart
At Palmdale Airport they have a display of a SR-71 and an A-12 next to each other, as well as a D-21 Drone and a U-2. This is the only place I know that has both aircraft next to each other, making the small differences much more obvious. The A-12 predates the SR-71 and wasn't made public until 1981, long after it stopped flying.
* Actual speeds and flight ceiling are classified, so, maybe the SR-71 can go higher and faster but they can't tell us.

The story of the battle between engineers and the laws of physics, which created an aircraft whose capabilities are still amazing. Welcome to the Age of Archangels.
The A-12 is a high-speed, high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft created by the Lockheed Skunk Works division for the CIA under the Oxcart program in the early 1960s. The breakthrough design and power plant gave the aircraft the ability to fly at a cruising speed of more than Mach 3, which, for that time, was a revolutionary achievement.
The Oxcart project and the A-12 itself, led by the CIA for a long time, were strictly classified. This, along with the limited number and duration of service, was the reason why the strategic reconnaissance plane SR-71 became the famous representative of the heirs of the Archangel, although the A-12 was the founder of this family.
Today we will get acquainted with the A-12, its history and design and try to figure out why it became such an iconic aircraft.

The U.S. Navy secret stealth attack aircraft was canceled.
PART 2 AVAILABLE AT: https://youtu.be/FZKnXKJLvZA
The A-12 Avenger II was a proposed American attack aircraft from McDonnell Douglas and General Dynamics. It was to be an all-weather, carrier-based stealth bomber replacement for the Grumman A-6 Intruder in the United States Navy and Marine Corps. Its Avenger II name was taken from the Grumman TBF Avenger of World War II.
The development of the A-12 was troubled by cost overruns and several delays, causing questions of the program's ability to deliver upon its objectives; these doubts led to the development program's cancellation in 1991. The manner of its cancellation was contested through litigation until a settlement was reached in January 2014.
The United States Navy began the Advanced Tactical Aircraft (ATA) program in 1983. The program was to develop and field a replacement for the A-6 Intruder by 1994. Stealth technology developed for the United States Air Force would be used heavily in the program. Concept design contracts were awarded to the industry teams of McDonnell Douglas/General Dynamics, and Northrop/Grumman/Vought in November 1984. The teams were awarded contracts for further concept development in 1986.
The McDonnell Douglas/General Dynamics team was selected as the winner on 13 January 1988; the rival team led by Grumman surprisingly failed to submit a final bid. The McDonnell Douglas/General Dynamics team was awarded a development contract and the ATA aircraft was designated A-12. The first flight was initially planned for December 1990. The A-12 was named Avenger II in homage to the World War II-era Navy torpedo-bomber Grumman TBF Avenger.
The Navy initially sought to buy 620 A-12s and Marines wanted 238. In addition, the Air Force briefly considered ordering some 400 of an A-12 derivative. The A-12 was promoted as a possible replacement for the Air Force's General Dynamics F-111 Aardvark and for the United Kingdom's Panavia Tornado fighter-bombers. The craft was a flying wing design in the shape of an isosceles triangle, with the cockpit situated near the apex of the triangle. The A-12 gained the nickname "Flying Dorito".
The aircraft was to be powered by two General Electric F412-D5F2 turbofan engines, each producing about 13,000 pounds-force (58 kN) of thrust. It was designed to carry precision-guided weapons internally, up to two AIM-120 AMRAAM air-to-air missiles, two AGM-88 HARM air-to-ground missiles, and a complement of air-to-ground ordnance, including unguided or precision-guided bombs, could be carried in an internal weapons bay. It has been claimed that the A-12 was to be capable of delivering nuclear weapons held in its internal weapons bay as well. The A-12 was to have a weapons load of 5,160 pounds (2,300 kg).
Beginning in early 1990 McDonnell Douglas and General Dynamics revealed delays and projected cost increases. Due to complications with the composite materials, aircraft weight had increased to 30% over design specification. This was unwelcome for an airplane that needed to operate efficiently and effectively from an aircraft carrier. Technical difficulties with the complexity of the radar system to be used also caused costs to increase; by one estimate the A-12 was to consume up to 70% of the Navy's budget for aircraft. After delays, its critical design review was successfully completed in October 1990 and the maiden flight was rescheduled to early 1992. In December 1990 plans were made for 14 Navy aircraft carriers to be equipped with a wing of 20 A-12s each.

The manner of its cancellation was contested through litigation until a settlement was reached in January 2014.
The United States Navy began the Advanced Tactical Aircraft (ATA) program in 1983. The program was to develop and field a replacement for the A-6 Intruder by 1994. Stealth technology developed for the United States Air Force would be used heavily in the program. Concept design contracts were awarded to the industry teams of McDonnell Douglas/General Dynamics, and Northrop/Grumman/Vought in November 1984. The teams were awarded contracts for further concept development in 1986.
The McDonnell Douglas/General Dynamics team was selected as the winner on 13 January 1988; the rival team led by Grumman surprisingly failed to submit a final bid. The McDonnell Douglas/General Dynamics team was awarded a development contract and the ATA aircraft was designated A-12. The first flight was initially planned for December 1990. The A-12 was named Avenger II in homage to the World War II-era Navy torpedo-bomber Grumman TBF Avenger.
The Navy initially sought to buy 620 A-12s and Marines wanted 238. In addition, the Air Force briefly considered ordering some 400 of an A-12 derivative. The A-12 was promoted as a possible replacement for the Air Force's General Dynamics F-111 Aardvark and for the United Kingdom's Panavia Tornado fighter-bombers. The craft was a flying wing design in the shape of an isosceles triangle, with the cockpit situated near the apex of the triangle. The A-12 gained the nickname "Flying Dorito".
The aircraft was to be powered by two General Electric F412-D5F2 turbofan engines, each producing about 13,000 pounds-force (58 kN) of thrust. It was designed to carry precision-guided weapons internally, up to two AIM-120 AMRAAM air-to-air missiles, two AGM-88 HARM air-to-ground missiles, and a complement of air-to-ground ordnance, including unguided or precision-guided bombs, could be carried in an internal weapons bay. It has been claimed that the A-12 was to be capable of delivering nuclear weapons held in its internal weapons bay as well. The A-12 was to have a weapons load of 5,160 pounds (2,300 kg).
Beginning in early 1990 McDonnell Douglas and General Dynamics revealed delays and projected cost increases. Due to complications with the composite materials, aircraft weight had increased to 30% over design specification. This was unwelcome for an airplane that needed to operate efficiently and effectively from an aircraft carrier. Technical difficulties with the complexity of the radar system to be used also caused costs to increase; by one estimate the A-12 was to consume up to 70% of the Navy's budget for aircraft. After delays, its critical design review was successfully completed in October 1990 and the maiden flight was rescheduled to early 1992. In December 1990 plans were made for 14 Navy aircraft carriers to be equipped with a wing of 20 A-12s each.

Faster, Higher And More Secret Than The SR-71 Blackbird - The A-12 Oxcart

At Palmdale Airport they have a display of a SR-71 and an A-12 next to each other, as well as a D-21 Drone and a U-2. This is the only place I know that has both aircraft next to each other, making the small differences much more obvious. The A-12 predates the SR-71 and wasn't made public until 1981, long after it stopped flying.
* Actual speeds and flight ceiling are classified, so, maybe the SR-71 can go higher and faster but they can't tell us.
