Finally! US Air Force Declared SR-72 DARKSTAR Is REAL!

Показать описание

The existence of the mysterious SR-seventy-two has finally been confirmed! This hypersonic spy aircraft, with capabilities that sounds like it stepped out of a science fiction movie scene has created a lot of waves in the aviation world and even more in the hearts of aviation enthusiasts. There are several questions concerning this aircraft that have been shrouded in secrecy for too long. What are the capabilities of this extremely advanced aircraft? Can it, in any way be compared to its predecessor?

By the time civilians know about it, the aircraft has been around for 25 years

The military will NEVER retire ANY aircraft if they don’t have a BETTER one to replace it.
Mercury Magnetic Propulsion is being developed. The magnetic field generated by the craft makes it impossible to detect on radar. UFO sightings for the last 20 years have been the US Air Force testing the aircraft.
I hope I’m still alive when they actually release it to the public.

When I was in the Navy in1971 I saw an SR-71 parked on the far end of the tarmac at MCAS Yuma. You couldn't get anywhere near it. In 1994 I saw one at the air museum at Davis Monthan AFB in Tucson. I touched it.

If they are talking about it openly that means they already have something faster and better that is top secret.

Two things I'd like to add here...1. You as a civilian hear about it, it's obsolete with something you will not hear about for another 25 years. 2. There is a reason we now have Space Force...

"one of the most strongest metals." That quote brought to you by the department of redundancy department.

What is really amazing is the SR-71 was designed without computers. No CAD programs, not even a hand held calculator, but with Slide Rules. Those guys were the real deal math geniuses, working for NASA, defense contractors, the Manhattan Project, Oak Ridge, etc.
For the longest time they kept the max altitude classified. There were some hints when pilots said they could see the stars while it was daytime below them. So high that during an engine failure the pilot was able to glide halfway across the US.

120 years ago we were barely flying and look at where we are now. This is just crazy.

SR71 was always my favorite aircraft. I wish the SR72 well. Will be looking forward to seeing it.

Another reason titanium was used on the SR-71 was its' high melting point.

they should just keep the name Darkstar...and if they have admitted having Darkstar...what's in the secret hangers now?

Mach 20 is 14.8 thousand miles per hour, which is 20 times the speed of sound in dry air at 0... Mach 6 is equal to about 4, 450 miles per hour, which is 6 times the speed of sound in dry air at 0 degrees Celsius. now this is FAST.

To be able to take-off and enter space without sitting on top of a Rocket has always been the mindset.

The name Dark Star came from a military radio transmission received by an amateur radio enthusiast who herd the name Dark Star used after a large sonic boom over the area they lived

Nothing will ever be sexier than the SR-71.

The fact that it doesn't have missiles and other weapons because it can out run it is such a cool but crazy thing

Yes, Mach 6 is faster than the blackbird. The airframe for the blackbird is rated for Mach 4.4.

In 1990 I was making a delivery at Washington Dulles Airport when I saw an SR-71 make a fly-by the tower before landing. It was being donated to the Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center - Dulles location) of the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum. Before arrival it had set the coast to coast speed record, having taken off from March AFB in California, then flew out over the Pacific, reaching altitude and speed crossed the West Coast then the East Coast in about 61 minutes.

As the reveal of the SR-71 taught us, they only unveil the big new thing when it isn't big or new to them.

ratheonhudson

The fact that this thing is going to fly the same velocity as the projectiles from a railgun go is insane.
