The X-15 famously used a pair of steel skids as the main landing gear rather than conventional wheels, which saved weight, allowed the skids to be mounted externally (where wheels and tires would have been destroyed) so they didn't take up internal space, simplified the extension mechanism, etc.

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.

To assist in identification, the frame for Parts 100.

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.

The air cadet commander there was a former Blackbird pilot, and thought it would be a motivating moment for the young lads to see the mighty SR-71 perform a low approach. No problem, we were happy to do it. After a quick aerial refueling over the North Sea, we proceeded to find the small airfield. Walter had a myriad of sophisticated navigation.

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.
