Well appears to be getting more attention.
It made the front page on fox news website.
I can't wait to see!

This is usually how things go white.

Exciting times indeed.

I forgot who, but didn't someone say that in an X amount of time, an aircraft will be going into the white world?

It might have been you, giving it 6 months if I remember correctly?

Is it possible flying supersonic with this kind of triangle shape ?

reply to post by Laxpla


Between six months and a year was the time frame I gave. I don't know the exact day, but I have a good idea of when.

May be the tension in Ukraine accelerate the supposed disclosure of new high tech USAF toys, to show the world , "be carreful there is some new high tech plane you don't know about"

reply to post by darksidius


No, it's pretty much right on the schedule I expected.

reply to post by Zaphod58


It may be the plane you say become grey or white in Edwards soon ? On the picture its difficult to see the size of the plane , fighter size or bomber size ?

reply to post by darksidius


Most likely. They knew damn well that someone would see it flying that route. Now it's "Oh, you saw that? I guess we can talk about it".

reply to post by Zaphod58


It look a lot like a start of disclose of something, 4 aeronautics specialist on the road of this 3 planes its a mysterious good luck.

reply to post by darksidius


The same thing happened when the F-117 came out. A few grainy pics, then suddenly they had to fly during the day, and it came out.

reply to post by Zaphod58


Waiting for the next months surely we will have the answer soon.

reply to post by darksidius


A few more months.

Holy crap on a cracker! Where did you get this image in the wind tunnel. That's really spot on to the shape in the original photo.

Hey Zap,
This is maybe flying in Black rock air space (currently called SUA and maybe even MOA in black type).
Your thoughts?

reply to post by Violater1


It's a very real possibility.

The last speculation on the web is about a stealth transport plane, transport ? bomber ? or fighter ? its the question .

reply to post by darksidius


I know Steve thinks so but I don't think the craft seen in the photo is a transport. The shape seams more streamlined to me, something with some speed to it and not specifically designed with heavy lift aspects.
I also think they would have appeared larger if they were full scale transporters.
My feeling is that they are the bombers we should see in the white when the LRS-B competition starts.

reply to post by Sammamishman


Its my personal feeling too but we don't know, when we look the picture the plane (if it is) don't look realy big , in my opinion more on a medium weight class plane. In another thread Zaph spoke about a mystery craft with a contrail with 2 engine may be the same mystery craft who know? If it is I m so impatient to see this in the white great time to come

reply to post by darksidius


If it the LSR-B then most likely two engines if they want to keep the cost of those thing down to 500M per. If it has more than two engines they may be using common exhaust nozzles.
