At this point, the main rocket engine would be fired for 8 minutes and burn 90 tons of fuel to propel the "Silverbird" to a maximum speed of 22100 km/h (13724 mph) and an altitude of over 145 km (90 miles), although some sources list the maximum altitude reached as 280 km (174 miles).

 Harlan Silverbird (Moon Knight foe)
Powers/Abilities: Harlan Silverbird was a skilled martial artist, and wore a suit composed of antarctic vibranium which made him invulnerable to metal-based attacks, and would deflect all metal-based weapons flung at him.
Silverbird's Vibranium projector was a non-metallic weapon designed to fire upon satellites in orbit using antarctic vibranium radiation which would cause them to fall apart, thus securing a safe orbit for Silverbird's own satellite, Silvermoon.
She turned against Silverbird when she realized what his intentions were, and alerted Moon Knight to the projector's location so that he could destroy it before Silvermoon could be activated.

 Saenger
His 1933 Silverbird concept was for a Mach 10 glider that would cruise at 160 km altitude.
It would have a hypersonic L/D ratio of 5.1, reach a top speed of Mach 13 at burnout of its rocket motor, and then enter a 5,000 km long glide, reaching a stable Mach 3.3 cruise at 50 km altitude.
By the end of the 1930's Saenger had refined the Silverbird aerodynamics to a flat-bottomed, half-cone slender body, with a hypersonic L/D of 6.4 and a subsonic L/D of 7.5.

 Silverbird (aircraft) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Silbervogel, German for Silverbird, was a design for a rocket-powered sub-orbital bomber aircraft produced by Eugen Sänger and Irene Bredt in the late 1930s.
As the manned space role moved to NASA and the unmanned reconnaissance satellites were thought to be capable of all reasonable missions, the Air Force gradually withdrew from manned space flight and the Dyna-Soar was cancelled.
One lasting piece of the Silverbird design was the "regenerative engine" design, in which fuel or oxidizer is run in tubes around the engine bell in order to both cool the bell and pressurize the fluid.

And in a nation where the word 'conflict of interests' counts for nothing, it just happened that Silverbird Communications owned by the Murray-Bruce family, was among the newly-licensed TV stations in the last major exercise conducted by the Nigeria Broadcasting Commission [NBC].
Sadly, the more I examined the format adopted by Silverbird group for their version of Nigerian presidential debates, the more I became disillusioned because they resembled those adopted by the discredited CPD in America.
From every indication, the Silverbird group employed probability sampling to shortlist its preferred candidates for the second stage of the debates, in which case, a small percentage of the population is selected at random with the belief that the outcome will project the attitudes, opinions and behaviour of the totality of Nigerians.

 Amazon.com: Silverbird: Music: Leo Sayer   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Silverbird is his first album, originally released in 1973, quite a few years before his metamorphose to the popster that most know, and whatever fame and success he achieved later.
In the beginning, starting with this album, he was a melancholic intriguing figure in pop/rock music, arguably ahead of or outside of his time.
The title track Silverbird is a brief, haunting, wordless vocal and piano piece that evokes both a circus sense and a haunting echo that reveals again, a sense of isolation underlying this deceivingly somewhat happy tune.

 Rolling Stone : Leo Sayer: Just A Boy : Music Reviews
Six months later, Sayer's debut, Silverbird, was released to tremendous acclaim in England and modest response in the States.
A sumptuously produced album, Silverbird suggested that the trio of Adam Faith (producer), David Courtney (coproducer and composer) and Leo Sayer (singer/lyricist) might establish themselves as commercial rivals to Elton John/Bernie Taupin/Gus Dudgeon.
In a floridly romantic style, Silverbird developed a vision of the artist as schizoid loner, trapped behind the mask of a clown; much of its material was presented as an allegory related to show business lore, especially the circus.

 brandchannel.com | Beauty Pageant Branding | Miss Silverbird International Brand | Entrepreneurial Brands | brand | ...
Re-branding Miss Intercontinental to Miss Silverbird International isn't just a case of a mouthful to pronounce (would eventual winners proudly call themselves "Miss Silverbird International"?), it's also facing hard competition on the world stage.
Further, going global with the Silverbird brand through the Miss Silverbird International beauty pageant may be a little premature at the moment, especially considering the nature of the beauty pageant business (which is already in serious decline in the US) as well as the apparent lack of recognition of the Silverbird brand internationally.
It is still early days yet to judge the success of the Miss Silverbird International franchise, but then early days are also the best time to evaluate whether a brand owner should pull the plug on a venture.
