  • SR-72 ???

    That plane is in theory only and developement has not been started at this time. It is only an idea. The engines to push a UAV at mach 6+ would have to be extremely powerful and would use fuel at a massive rate. It would have to take off like the shuttle and be refueled IMMEDIATELY in the air to continue flight.

    The SR-71 had gaps between the panels to allow for expansion when flying, so they would leak massive amounts of fuel until the panels heated up from friction.

    But if ever eveloped (like the B-2) would be a HUGE advance in warfare!!

  • sr72?

    Try googling sr72 Darkbird, this is the upgrade model that is also invisible to the eye. (No shiit!) (Google electro luminescent aircraft skins :-) )

    Speed "classified", but is is said to be > mach 6.0

    .....you see? Like Rosie O'donnel says... we are "loosing the war in Muzzy land..." Please God let our guys really go after them so we finish the job! Yeah right! ;) Blackbird
