  • The A-12 had a better weight/thrust perforance envelope...the XB-70 Valkyrie had demonstrated supercruise performance up to Mach 3...IMHO, had the XB had been allowed full development it would have been the equal of the A-12 & SR-71..showing 2X the SR's combat range & being 4X the SR's MaxTakeOffWeight ....the SR-71 was fastest by default, with the A-12 decommissioned and the Valkyrie Proto project canceled...

  • I've read a report that scramjet planes will never happen unless somebody comes up with a completely different fuel.

    As they are now, a full-sized plane would require the fuel tanks to be more than 100% of the weight of the aircraft, to give it any kind of usable range.

    I saw the notification and thought. what did I post? 8 months jeez

    What I was trying to say was that they've dropped little drones out of bombers that ran out of fuel in a few seconds, woop-de-doo.

    People who know what they are talking about, say that scramjets will never become viable for real planes.

    Something else may come along that will work, but not scramjets

  • Beautiful beautiful plane!

  • Aurora is a theoretical scramjet craft

    I think Russia has perfected scramjet in missiles, but they have not produced any and no one has been able to do it with planes and living humans

    SR71 does something similar to ramjet but not scramjet. NASA was doing scamjet research but it failed due to lack of funds when recession started

  • this is what the government has been hiding form us gfor forty yeard

  • the song doesn't fit

  • What did you fly?

  • it going to be in transformers 2

  • Sorry, it's "SR-71 Blackbirds Gone to Roost"
