Whoa whoa whoa! Sloooow down! Which part of Scotland is that base in? I'm Scottish and want to see if I can record one landing.

@fattyMcGee97 Machrihanish, in Strathclyde near Campbelltown.

thats over 9000

How in the world did ya know that?

@cesar333 Spy-satellites are hardly "economical". They are necessary, but they are neither cheap nor can they do special interest work well, conveniently or promptly. But hypersonic flight does not make much sense for a SR-71 replacement. Only range would be benefitted. It would hardly be stealthy for instance. The ionized air alone would make a nice radar echo. SR-71 experience would also point towards a replacement aircraft much cheaper and simpler to operate. Stealth + altitude.

@MokomaSusi Satellites can be kept in a gyo-synchronizes orbit over an area for any amount of time and can detect large movements. There are satellites today that do not have a predictable orbit . But if you already have air superiority, you can launch a UAV that could be over a target for days.

@cesar333

Satellites aren't that great if you try to spy countries like China and Russia. Both of those countries can track movement of all satellites in orbit.. so if they test their "black project" they know when to hide.

Spy aircraft (possibly a drone) don't have such achilles heel... aircraft does not have shcedule.

@cesar333 man it is funny but the government only shows you what they want you to see

[cesar333]

Chances are this aircraft, if it even exists probably flew a hand full of times before the program was canceled. Its too big, too fast and too loud to be flying around anymore to be kept a secret. Now we have drones and spy satellites that do all the work. Dollar for dollar, drones and spy satellites are more economical then this aurora spy plane.

It's a SCRAMjet (supersonic cumbustion ram jet). It works the same as an SR-71 engine, except the air is not slowed to subsonic speed in the combustion chamber, yeilding hypersonic thrust. The theoretical top speed is mach 12-24, but everything NASA takes past mach 7 starts melting. SCRAMjets kick in at mach 3, so they have to start with a rocket assist to reach the requierd speed to oporate, just as an SR-71 uses a turbojet to pass mach 2 when it's ramjets kick in.

@bigNMhillbilly ur right about how our tech is much better than what u and i know but it isn't all from alien tech and even if it is, we still understand how this alien tech works which shows just how smart us humans really are and since they kept all this stuff about aliens a secret ofcourse the public wont be ready for all that info. if they let out bit by bit we would be ready to say hi my new alien friend lol

@toolfreak01 when it was tested when it went around the world, it went at a cruising rate of 8400 mph that is a bit moor than mach 10.51
