Anyone out there can you answer this: Is this faster than the SR-71 Blackbird can fly?

sure it should be if ir's gonna fly to orbit

It could be because a different fuel supply, but what I was looking for is specific. I really don't know how fast the Blackbird flies.

make a search in ATS I can only tell you that it flyes a litle more than mach 3

Thanks for the info.

Very interesting.

But my problem is you spelled Russian wrong.

Cause I dont know any Rusian people.

Russian

Although this thread is almost 20 years old, the re-entry vehicles conceived as part of the Kosmoplan design studies by Vladimir Chelomei were designed to fly faster than the SR-71 Blackbird. Although the winged Kosmoplan proposals were not built, largely because Vladimir Chelomei fell out of favor with the Soviet government after the overthrow in 1964 of Nikita Khrushchev. When the MiG design bureau acquired Chelomei's research into reusable vehicles pursuant to a Soviet government decree, the design work on the Kosmoplan became one of the roots of the Spiral program (which produced the MiG-105).
