Did he have top speed capability (cruise or dash) beyond Mach 3.3? If so its faster than the blackbird.

@IASOU2005 No he didn't.. top speed at Mach 3.1

[ultramegatrion]

If such planes were designed back then, ahead of their time,imagine the stuff thats available now...classified...

@ultramegatrion Area 51 is where alot fo this development takes place. I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to go there and see all the cool stuff. Aliens part is a lie in my opinion.

@ultramegatrion I believe what you are stalking about is the stealth unmanned aircraft project. That too me is a project way ahead of it's time today already with famous results.

Having walked beneath the one at Wright Patterson it is really is bigger than you think

this was a great channel considering some of brain dead junk that is all over tv these days its loss is keenly felt.regards map47

[MiloMatrataMusic]

what a sketchy looking plane

@ultramegatrion

Surface to air missiles changed EVERYTHING about bombers.

The "stuff that's available now" is the B-2 Spirit, because it can pretty much evade radar so the SAMs can't track and engage it.
