  • Lockheed Martin has always led the industry when it comes to innovation in military aviation, and is poised to reaffirm its title as the leader with its latest hypersonic unmanned vehicle - the SR-72.
    But can this aerial ghost, born in some secret lab, surpass its legendary ancestor, the SR-71 Blackbird, by rewriting the future of American air operations?
    Let’s figure it out!

    A little secret to all of you. Whenever the U.S. Air Force publicly announces a plane to the public, the plane has already been tested for 20-25 years. The Blackbird first flew in 1957 and the F-22 first flew in 1989. 😂

      Yep...they have something even more out of this world and I have photo proof.
      It's called a Pulse Detonation Engine and it's rumored to power the Aurora hypersonic aircraft.
      Its signature contrail looks like "donuts on a string"
      I took a picture of such a contrail behind my house in Southern California in 2019 at around 4:30 pm.
      It flew very high and fast across the sky - I estimate 3 to 4 times what an airliner would across the sky.

    If they showed it to the public, even in mockup form, to the public, it has been flying for several years now. The SR-71 had flown a decade before the public had any idea it exited. And if it has been shown, the next generation is already under development.

    Well actually the successor to the 71 is not an Air Force plane, it’s flown by the NRO (National Reconnaissance Office). It gets airborne refueling support from specialized Air Force tankers, but the missions are performed and the data collected are controlled by the NRO.

    Sr-72 Son Of Blackbird Dark Star. A duel purpose hypersonic aircraft with both a manned and unmanned variant.
    Why people are so insistent that "its a drone" when part of the hype is it being the fastest self-propelled manned air craft to beat its older brother is beyond me.

  • @damienmaynard8892

    They needed to replace the SR-71 because English Lightning fighters were DIVING on it to gun firing solutions in the 80's and 90's. AND the Swedish Viggen fighters were regularly achieving missile lock upon it throughout the 90's and 2000's! SR-73 in service development already. SR-72 due to be phased out soon.

    Funny nonsence, altitude of Mig-25 and Mig-31 is higher than SR-71. 85000feet or 25km EASY. Withtout missiles 27-30km 100 000 feet is standard. With 2 missiles can this 85 reach easy.
