Its theoretical maximum speed was Mach 3 in level flight at 45,000 ft (14,000 m)
A theoretical capability doesn't amount to anything in the real world. Does anyone have a copy of the source McLelland? Perhaps he has more on it.Pieter1963 (talk) 21:07, 26 February 2017 (UTC)
- The Mach 3 figure was the theoretical aerodynamic limit that the airframe and engines were designed-to however the materials used limited (due to aerodynamic heating) the actual maximum speed to just over Mach 2. The projected Mach 3 Interceptor version would have used different, higher temperature, materials (e.g., titanium) in strategic places, and be armed with IIRC, four Red Top. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.144.50.132 (talk) 08:54, 3 November 2017 (UTC)
- In Stanley Hookers autobiography "Not much of an engineer" page 147 he states that "One of the demands made for TSR.2 was that the aircraft should be able to fly at its maximum Mach number of 2.2 for a full 45 minutes. This meant a total redesign of the Olympus in high-temperature materials able to soak at the Mach 2,2 ambient conditions." KreyszigB (talk) 21:39, 4 November 2017 (UTC)
- A comprehensive 1964 Flight article on the TSR.2 here: [1]
- IIRC, the air entering Concorde's Olympus 593's at Mach 2 was at over 100c, hence the use of Titanium compressor initial stages. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.144.50.186 (talk) 10:09, 13 December 2018 (UTC)
Which pilot made the last flight
I'm currently working on Roland Beamont's article, and am currently intrigued to know which test pilot flew TSR-2 on its last flight on 31 March 1965.
If you look at the table in this copy of Flight International)[1] it only lists the 23rd flight on 27 March 1965 piloted by Don Knight. Does anyone have any details of the last flight (24th) on 31 March 1965? KreyszigB (talk) 18:39, 27 October 2017 (UTC)
- I have a feeling it may have been James "JImmy" Dell but may be wrong. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.144.50.186 (talk) 10:13, 13 December 2018 (UTC)

High-value targets
This term is used in the lede and I know what it is intended to mean (geographical targets essential to the enemy). But the wiki article about HVT’s, which is linked, mentions only essential *people*. Boscaswell talk 03:54, 26 September 2018 (UTC)
