SR-72 Confirmed: Mach 6 Project Blackswift

a reply to: darksidius

of course

the us and most contractors hire legions of lawyers to make double speak and statements that all are in between the lines

the more and more i think about it this hypersonic thing seems like a science project handed out to the public as they work on the really cool stuff.

its like a magician, you always have to watch what both hands are doing.

we know there is some sort of other type of propulsion going on and has been before i was born.

One day I saw a yellow/orange in a night sky with some sort of 2 pulse is it what you speak about the yellow one?
There is the Green Lady too we spoke about it on ATS is intringuing , the great new is that the USAF still working on the SR-72 , and the picture on this new video make me think of the new South hangar in Groom Lake coud be the house for this kind of project.

no i don't think so, the dim yellow light has a very odd and fast flight mode

Here is a link to a BBC article from 2013 headlined with "US plans for a hypersonic robot spy plane revealed". I'm pretty sure this is showing the top view of the alleged SR-72 in the AF video. The article states that the plane may be in service by 2030 and is being built by Lockheed (surprise, surprise lol)

US plans for hypersonic robot spy plane revealed.

The Chinese weapon was a HGV launched from an FOBS. However, the HGV might have still released something.

FOB can be achieved by all modern ICBM's for the most part, it is essentially putting a warhead in orbit and de orbiting over the target when least expected as there was no launch

fractional orbital bombardment

it was outlawed in SALT II i believe

ARRW failed again. We are totally ahead of the Chinese.

i would love to see the unclassified report

the Arrow system in Israel is insane to watch it do it's thing

Im wondering if its pylon related and not missile..Off memory the used electrical Canon plugs for connecting hardpoints.

GE has been making turbine blades that are perfect metallic crystals, there are little to no grain boundaries in the blades



kind of how they make monocyrstal silicon ingots for computer chips.


at some point if we haven't hit it already even the best alloys or even using elements like the super rare osmium(highest melting point) things will melt or deform.

hypersonic aircraft or what have you will need to use other trips so the item doesnt melt, like creating false bow shocks in front of aircraft, using boundary layer tricks and god knows what else.

material science will only take us so far we will need to use our brains instead of just bigger and stronger propulsion methods.

the trident missiles use this little probe that extends when it is starting to gain speed and that way they don't need a nose cone and can go ALOT faster because the heat never touches the skin of the missile

Whether you believe in the TR-3B or not (I don’t) and whether this article has any credibility to it, are we slowly being drip fed ideas and information. I stumbled across this last night, wanted to create a new thread for it but felt like this thread would probably be best as a lot of discussion goes on here especially when people have experienced or witnessed such aircraft. Anyway don’t shoot the messenger I’m just posting this just for food for thought so to speak
