Lockheed Falcon unmanned aircraft

[CockatooDude]

Nice... now Lockheed is making a scram jet as well... cool.

[glower125]

GOOD ANIMATION

[bigtruckseriesreview]

MORE CORPORATE WELFARE FOR LOCKHEED MARTIN TO FIGHT WARS THAT WILL NEVER HAPPEN.

[Buckeyecat2002]

@bigtruckseriesreview Military technology often precedes wars. Wars are created, scripted and acted out, just like weekly episodes of WWE Smackdown. America is an industrial-miltary nation.

[15thsquadron01]

Missiles exceeds speeds of thousands of miles per hour, The space shuttle reaches speeds of Mach ten 17,500 mph

[logan500]

Dang! That looks like a Starcraft 2 Valkrie!

[khijasmith]

really informative and interesting

[distractionxx]

some great inforamtion here thanks

[aaronb1874]

If man is able to make this, then f***ing stop complaining about planets being to far to explore

[cybermarsactual]

Clearly aviation has hit the wall.

[yarddawg316]

this aint a real plane this plane is going to be the concept of the sr-71

[Gwenlaen]

@yarddawg316 Is? The SR71 had a full career and has been decomissioned. This would be the theorized Aurora, the supposed successor to the SR-71, but has never been confirmed by the USG. The current theories I'm aware of for it's rives are RAM/ScRAM jets, and Pulse Detonation Drives, for hypersonic speeds. However from what little I've seen on the net, even the Aurora has, or will shortly be replaced by much more exotic craft.

[yarddawg316]

@Gwenlaen

The Lockheed SR-71 "Blackbird" was an advanced, long-range, Mach 3+ strategic reconnaissance aircraft.[1] It was developed as a black project from the Lockheed reconnaissance aircraft in the 1960s by the Lockheed Skunk Works. Clarence "Johnson was responsible for many of the design's innovative concepts. During reconnaissance missions the SR-71 operated at high speeds and altitudes to allow it to outrace threats. Of the 32 aircraft built, 12 were destroyed in accidents

[Gwenlaen]

@yarddawg316 Indeed. Here's a bit of trivia I saw on the history channel's extreme machines profile of the SR71. The original sketches were done on napkins at a fast food joint (McDonalds I believe)

[yarddawg316]

@Gwenlaen Nope Wendys



[shoppittsburghnow]

great video thanks

[PotatoPotahto11]

I think this might be the "global strike vehicle" that crash crashed into the ocean after reentry into earths atmosphere just last year. It's worth looking up. I think it's supposed to reach up to mach 13, theoretically that is. Apparently the goal is to create a vehicle that can reach any on the planet in 20 minutes. But that's just hearsay from magazines and newspapers. Regardless, you know this thing will be nuts when it's finished.

[yarddawg316]

this is the a concept of the SR-71 Blackbird

[rickabay]

Big fan of teck,but getting weary of army power. All we will do is return to the conclusion that the would is doomed. There is a theory about dehumanization : what this means is that further away two people are spiritually easier it is to tel one to kill the other. This craft is also deceatefully high tech. meaning what you see is NOTHING: look at "10:01Add to Dr Deagle Deep Underground Bases " in my favorites there is a part somewere about this darling plain and the AURORA....

[slobknober]

the reason why its unmanned...u wont know why. Because no man wants to fly a nuclear powered aircraft.

[rickabay]

@slobknober extremely good point, dont take what I said too seriously. The coment related to viewers on my chanel in light of another video, and the whole nuke-buton thing going on in the 70's and 80" The done is trooly spectacular from a tec point of view. ( one can even argue that it can do more acurate scouting resulting in less civilian casualties) Happy surfing

[seuin6]

We need aircraft like this so we can cut funding to the obsolete slow navy. The future is take off from North Dakota and 2hrs later anywhere in the world total devastation to target. Less money, less people, and a lot more bang for the buck.

[KevinKimbrellSC]

GUDDA GIT OW OFF HERE! DAH MASHEENS ARE COMING! SKYNET IS OPERATIONAL! AHHH GIT TO THA CHOPPA!

[t1000eg]

wait till you see what ET has got....this aint shish

[medalton03]

The U.S. doesn't need this capability right now,it can strike where it wants, when it wants and who it wants, so why bother? That said, this kind of research might lead to a hypersonic suborbital passenger or cargo plane, which may then lead to an affordable SSTO, which would be a very good thing. Good or bad military research paves the way.

[TFOKillSwitch]

@medalton03 if you notice there is no pilot. this is ai driven . do i blive it will be some soret of attke drone or spy drone. kind of reminds me of the sr71

[AustralianAllTheWay]

Glad they spend our money on this instead of curing diseases.

[bestamerica]

'

dont have to show this video,,,

ussr russia can copy steal from this video about airplane

[evansilvester]

that peice of shit wont fly

[USAmilitarypower]

@evansilvester why

[rczozo]

The computer animation not aircraft...



[icccmdave1a]

The Aurora does exit and if you go to the Air Force Museum in Dayton, Ohio you can see it suspended from the ceiling.

[TheTopBloke]

These are great for target practice.

[DeliriousKindness1]

Does unmanned include robonauts

I just figured we already have two in the space station

A quality remote control system for the evil empire aka NwO

[platinum243125]

China probably stole the design already...

[TehFlyGuy]

why arent we using this money for going into space.

[steven161183]

this looks supisiously like a u.f.o

[rarec1889]

the black brid got fat and faster....werid..combo

[61TUNER]

SELL ONE OF THESE TO ISRAEL,AND THEY CAN USE IT TO ATTACK ANOTHER COUNTRY,AND BLAME AL-QUEDA. WHAT,YOU DID,NT KNOW?

[kysmelmonge]

I've only heard of this project never seen real pictures of it,I wonder why...

[stiigern]

thumb up if you dont want rc fighter jet planes!

i wanna fly in a cockpit, not sitting in a chair on a office!

[USAmilitarypower]

who the fuck were the 79 people who disliked this

[CmdrTobs]

@USAmilitarypower Probably 79 people who would rather there tax dollars weren't spent to build weapons for use against an enemy that does not exist.

[USAmilitarypower]

@CmdrTobs oh than you get attacked and over ran an become a slave hmm do you think people would rather pay money or be tourterd or a slave

[CmdrTobs]

@USAmilitarypower That power does not exist. Not on this planet at least. Not to mention standing armies aren't too good either. They're riddled with old tech. Look at Britain's WW2 navy, the largest in the world filled with battleships with no air defence. America with a limited navy could build more carriers and was much more flexible.

So even IF there were some technologically sophisticated enemy that could threaten mainland America this is still the wrong coarse of action.

[JakayBalay202]

this is mach 20

[CroniusDraks]

thats not the falcon

[Derail07]

Yay this proved UFO believers wrong. Thanks

[MakaraUHT]

@Derail07 yeah it's hovering like UFO -.-

[wineverytime1]

Another test flight today. Able to fly from New York to LA in 12 minutes. The current speed is Mach 22. The U.S. is amazing just the government sucks.

[Ismalith]

Look like a new version of the blackbird

[kwmkc13]

Interesting. It be cool if they could continue to develop it. It helps the US continually test the edge of technology even if it sucks in the end. Must keep pushing the edge with the rest of the world catching up to us.

[foogy4]

i like it

[sawyerbobby]

nasa techno plane :D

[WebTechGlobal]

I hope that thing crashes safer than current jets

[Vmartin70EZ]

the future unmanned attack fighters are here no worry about G-forces hypersonic speeds, stealth technology remote control or computer controlled? can see in all light and thermal nowhere to run, nowhere to hide!

[janicewatersteen]

isn't that just the mach 7 aurora, that "does not exist"

[kirbyroxy]

@janicewatersteen no they actully tested this

[you2240]

@janicewatersteen its the htv 2 and it not the aurora i got a code one book vol.26 and it has a part about this plan in it and the book is made by lockheed martin and the real plan can go mach 20 (15,220mph) and it has flown once in apri 22 2010 so yay just wanted u to know

[thecooltheory]

@janicewatersteen yeh its true

[PHeMoX]

@janicewatersteen Not quite, as the Aurora is not an unmanned aircraft. It has pilots.

[Burnz2much]

@Vanky20000 Ah yes, please enlighten us with what you have learned from your brand new video game. lol

[Vanky20000]

@Burnz2much lol... internet people are stupid and ignorant. lol

[DrKarot7760]

@janicewatersteen It does ..

[mercanaries3]

@janicewatersteen

yeah sure is.... they just gave it a new name now T___T

[Liberal93eye]

@janicewatersteen NO u a secret agent from NASA

who keep the secret of AURORA :D

[1bearcatf8f]

@janicewatersteen This is possibly the future after the Aurora considering there have been so called "take off" sighting's of it and numerous other evidence.But by now it's atleast 20-30 year's old seeing how alot of sighting's were in the early to mid 90s im sure it was built in the 80s.

[Duhitpt]

put in few ton of explosive material and u got a supersonic missile :)

[bloodswetandgears]

@Duhitpt A missile with a payload of more missiles!

[xDvsking666x]

@Duhitpt Mission complete

[websailor286]

@Duhitpt put in a few tons and it won't fly

[nayte1]

@Duhitpt  I like your thinking

[juki0h]

i saw this once in the desert, some officials came to me and made me sign some papers, weirdest shit ever

[Gertywow]

Dude its called a X 33

[VerseInfinitum]

Great Job Area 51. Keep up the good work!

[jakesalmanz]

but can it blend?

[joeb0]

@jakesalmanz it's probably loaded with cameras and LED lights to be camouflaged.

[joeb0]

@jakesalmanz watch?v=zLdNeatXCvE

[MyWillyboi]

It looks like a mix from the sr-71 blackbird and the nasa aurora

[evelmassa]

@freemanbrook lulz

[datzfast]

its supposed to be pushed by an exploding shock wave behind the airplane. like an air breathing rocket engine

[MrCsviper]

my tax dollars at work...,

[MrChimochay]

Ok build this shit already..

[tommyzDad]

@MrChimochay Yeah, give Skynet the means to wipe us from the planet. ;)

[padawan007]

aurora? lol

[Martian74]

America totally needs this to combat the talibans mach 5 cruise missiles and advanced radar systems. Spend a couple of hundred billion $ to get this system up and running within 15 years so everybody can feel safer. Cost overruns and time overruns will blow it out to 20 years and add another couple hundred billion $ but who cares as long as it keeps everyone 'safe'.

Military industrial complex runs the US.

[japanowner]

If so many americans believe in building shit like this, how about donating your time "talant" and materials for the "common defense"

The truth is that many want this for job security and money.

[kirbyroxy]

@japanowner i want to work on plains when im older just because i love the usa i dont care about the money as long as i have a house and food i would be good(and internet and a computer)

[japanowner]

Paying taxes on this thing is MUCH better then fixing the fucking potholes in the roads.

This is sadly americas only skill, building weapons.

[marechalrommel]

looks like a fat shutle to me

[Armigo91]

If all that was sorted out right after the brakedown of WW2 we wouldnt have all these problems and we would have gotten enough innovation to supply such vehicles for commercial use this day.

[Armigo91]

I dont really care if its called, communism, capitalism, socialsm democracy.

Or a mix of one or the other or any new type of governing alltogether.

Every country does that which fits best to his success such as communism evolved china.

Now were processing attitude problems and having problems closing prisons and consuming more instead of financing innovation for consumption.

Not the best strategy.

[Armigo91]

and not personally earned.

Now were confused that nobody at nasa or in the US has further innovated aviation or spaceflight. Their has never been any such innovated and laboring country as nazi germany.

Although that doesnt mean im racist and it shouldnt go along with the cruelty behind the scenes.

Not to mention the war. But they innovated more then any other country in the world in history.

And right now were stalling,

Every educational system in the world is shit.

[majadito1985]

@Armigo91 Your grammar is really bad. You speak as if you were some type of authority but you lose credibility right away.

[Armigo91]

Now im perfectly aware that quality engineering is based on understanding physical laws. That is what forms new innovation. The last great researches on physics were commited during the early to late mid 20th century for the most part.

All such researches were done by non americans, mostly german scientists.

And all them got reassigned in the USA to work for nasa etc.

The full history lesson involves multiple of such examples. Every american succes trough propaganda was stolen

[32HUD]

looks like chuck norris threw his paper plane a bit too hard...

[SecuR0M]

@jericoparazo Space shittles explode because of those ceramic tiles.

I do not want a production aircraft using something that stupid, considering the SS was designed as a prototype testbed vehcile that was rushed to production.

[Hufer1300]

@jericoparazo That's not the issue. The issue is at a speed such as Mach 10 simply isn't possible with current known technology ->Inside<- The atmosphere for a reasonable amount of time. The slits in this aircraft that would expand to make the aircraft fuel tight would have to be massive, the SR-71 had that problem abd ut kist 90% of it's fuel before takeoff, times that by 3. The concept is flawed and the uses for such a concept are flawed. There is a reason this project was scrapped.

[hallis1]

The rendering looked real great until the landing.

[uthar1986]

Am Anfang und am Schluss ist die X30

lern schneiden

At the start and the end is the X30

learn cutting

[saultube44]

Would be great for a Space Shuttle instead of military use IMO.

[Hufer1300]

Fail concept. At mach 10 the skin of the aircraft would have to ridiculously expand meaning the SR-71 fuel leaks times 3.

[3PointsOfContact]

Too bad S.P.A.D. didn't make movies for their salesmen in 1916. Would have been a lot more fun to watch.

[3PointsOfContact]

Too bad S.P.A.D. didn't make movies for their salesmen in 1916. Would have been a lot more fun to watch.

[X2T2X]

unless they're going to made it from titanium it's very unlikely to reach Mach 8.

[MagnesiumAlloy]

why are we still using ridiculously expensive rockets when we could just put a rocket engine on this bird and use it as a single stage space craft?

[MagnesiumAlloy]

I think its pretty unrealistic to believe that this airframe will do over mach 2 unless it has some really amazing engines... or unless its 100 000 feet

[peepeevagi]

Engines we have. And it's operating ceiling will probably be up where the blackbird was at. Over mach 2 is easy peasy. Some regular fighters can do it :3

[peepeevagi]

In Metal gear solid 3, big boss was carried into russia in something similar to this lol. The Falcon is no more than a modernized D-21 drone. Which is actually pretty cool.

[Hylkemans]

@007bond66 he's as strange as this stupid airplane.

[Hylkemans]

@007bond66 yeah and my dad is Jezus.....

[HAT1701D]

Lockheed allready has an aircraft called the Falcon..It's the F-16. Yes, that's right, the F-16 has been being built by Lockheed for quite a few years since General Dynamics aircraft division was bought by them.......

[IVANGROZNEY]

Best Defence? Chevy Chase, Eddie Murphy, 1980's movie.

[bestamerica]

'

only american can make it and spacecraft plane to outer space and around the earth,,,

china and ussr russia cannot allowed copy steal from america

[SoloWing808]

@bestamerica geez people like you make our country look bad. learn to be humble and appreciate the achievements of other countries. also...why can't you speak proper English?

[bestamerica]

SoloWing808,

'

hi there,,,

dont use a word - YOU - on me,,,

no one is perfect in english, grammar, language,,,

explain about this plane and another country

[SoloWing808]

@bestamerica Lot's of people are more proficient at English than YOU lolol

[bestamerica]

SoloWing808,

'

people are not perfect either,,,

again dont use a word - YOU - on me,,,

case closed

[SoloWing808]

@bestamerica What's wrong with "you"?

[AmazingJesusIs]

@bestamerica - YOU -

[eddieboyglos]

looks like an sr17

[ElPINGAS9000]

i hope they know, i have a Hot Wheels toy just like that XD

[albertoace1]

ace combat 10!!!!!

[666vic555]

they should  call it fat ass

[Noname2903]

Mach 9.5 i mean nothing can flies at that speed

[N17C1]

Looks like the Aurora...

[maydayfire]

nice proof by animation!

[kall67]

who needs planes when we have StarGate.

[ROBLOXobama1337]

I still want Ferrari more...

[DeadRevenge666]

if its unnamed then how is it called falcon?

[nighthawk006phoenix]

unmanned plane.

[trueChaos23]

I WANT IT!!! XD

[phocjame]

That looks one hell of a lot like a UPF Dropship.

[alexmirabalcomedy]

the reasons this is fake to hevy too much surface arera too easly detectable and expensive

[IvanLouiseBiggin]

Ignorant sound - no one past 12 likes this sort of lame crap.

[AsItNeverSeems]

i would pay someone 50 grand to jump on this, ride it to 50,000 feet, then jump

[mannen782]

yeah, disco & shit

[findsugar]

i read about this, i heard it couldn't use runways tho

[SchumisErbe]

FALCON PUNCH!

[THEsyntheticFresh]

@SchumisErbe show me your moves!! 

[KiwiBird145]

If they were gonna use that in wars, they could just ram it into places where bombs were needed.

[yagerbomb2025]

cool

[plutone220696]

NASA has been trying to develop these since the world began but obviously they didn't succeed. Why? Because they either didn't have effective materials or their budget got cut by the congress......

[MadMilitiaMen]

Looks like a artist movie of the American "Aurora Project". Its a Ultra High speed bomber project that can fly over Mach 6. Apparently the XB-70 Valkyrie lives on.

[robbiem4000]

At 20 seconds in, it shows this thing accelerating from mach 8.75 to 9.13 (roughly), in about 2 seconds. That would be an acceleration of more than 6.5g! If the craft weighed even 1000kg (very light) it would be a force of about 65KN!...

Also, in that 2s it would have travelled about 3/20 of the circumphrence of the earth, and in less than 15s it would have gone round the world (at least once). Just thought you should know PULL IT THE FUCK TOGETHER!

[umahuma4]

@robbiem4000 UFO

[lunafringe10]

arms race, just to be the number one , one day, and not so far off, the US is broke

[cuntface578]

wack video an this air craft is a scramjet that means it can go mach6+ but its actual name is the falcon project. an offically its not even finished yet. but i know there out there.

[123456789mischief]

@cuntface578 your probably right. the F117 flew missions for ten years before the public even knew about it. so what makes anyone think we actually know or have any real idea what their building now.

[XXINTL]

hey, nasa stole my car. this is the last video its ever been seen in lol.

[beavwoop]

@XXINTL actually lockheed martin haha

[koriko88]

@XXINTL It sorta looks like a Ford Probe.

[BigCzechWarriorCz]

its Falcon HTV-3X

[SuperBennettboy]

its thunderbird 2

[AWACStunderhead]

wow this aurora jet(shuttle) reminds me of that shuttle in move Avatar the one in the beginning of the movie flying to Pandora) but smaller version

[Twistinater]

I hared thats the next spase craft :)

[NJRocks281]

you hared wrong

[Twistinater]

I Will look at my plane book and see whats the next spase craft. It will come out in 2050.

[deviletk]

@NJRocks281 hahaha!

[AlexKrycek411]

Proof that in the race to become Skynet and create something that's gonna take over and kill us all, noone can catch DARPA :)

[Blobapopo7]

You know... the gaming market is terrible. We've had the technology for the we for... about... 6 years now? They NOW have the technology for like.. virtual reality shizz. They just keep putting out game systems that arent that good, so they make more money. thye take half a step up each 2 1/2 years. Lol.

[junkyintel]

oh look its another vaporware aircraft - simulated polygons.  whats new? they been showing these for years.... zzzzzz

[spoim]

@junkyintel Good call.

[AlexKrycek411]

Junkyintel,

That vaporware just flew it's first sortie in October 2009. Takeoff, surveillance, payload delivery, return and landing. All from a script. No remote control needed. Just running code.

[gumball20000]

That'd make a good bomber...
