      Have to be. This is a Hail Mary project that was highly dubious when similar things were government funded 60 years ago.
      There’s nothing that’s going to change the laws of physics barring some absolutely insane breakthrough in energy density and materials strength. Going fast costs an insane amount of money.

    It is interesting to look at 6:38 and the angle of attack. This bird really wants to go and it appears like it is being held back. They have reached their ceiling limit and they are running tests, but have a very high angle at what is 'slow' speed. It will be great to see a flat angle at mach 2!
