NASA The specific ore, utile ore, used to create titanium is found in few parts of the world. It's a sandy soil that's difficult to locate. One of the largest supplies is in Russia. The U.S. purchased much of the ore used to produce the SR-71 airframe from Russia through foreign countries and third party companies.

A second landing project took place in 1977. This research demonstrated a dual-mode adaptive landing gear system to reduce the dynamic response of an airplane during ground taxi. An adaptive landing gear system can increase the lifespan of an airframe by reducing vibration stress incurred during taxi, takeoff, and landing. Lockheed engineers.

Note the bare titanium inside the landing gear door, and the aluminum added to the tire rubber to reflect heat away from the rubber in cruising flight. The SR-71 was made of titanium because it couldn't have flown as fast if made from aluminum- heating from just the speed through the air would have weakened aluminum too much. As to the 3 wheel/3 tire design- more surface area for the tires.

The landing gear for the SR-71 is more complex than those on most aircraft and this is reflected in this SAC set. (See photos). The finer pieces such as the gear door actuators that are included are provided in thick protective frames and must be carefully removed from them to avoid damage. To assist in identification, the frame for Parts 100.
