  • Lockheed Martin has always led the industry when it comes to innovation in military aviation, and is poised to reaffirm its title as the leader with its latest hypersonic unmanned vehicle - the SR-72.
    But can this aerial ghost, born in some secret lab, surpass its legendary ancestor, the SR-71 Blackbird, by rewriting the future of American air operations?
    Let’s figure it out!

    RULE 1 if they show you ....they already got the next one ready.

    SR-71 flew for about 9 years when very few knew about it. SR-72 probably already in service.

    I just ordered one for myself. Should be here by Friday. Overnight delivery was too expensive...

    3:50 Maximum altitude ceiling of 85,000 lbs... ROFL!!!

      0:48 The SR71 flew at 880,000 feet or 66.7 miles high. 🤣🤣

      ​@hughacosta1090 We will always be the last to know. Secrets that the Government keeps from everyone.

    Well actually the successor to the 71 is not an Air Force plane, it’s flown by the NRO (National Reconnaissance Office). It gets airborne refueling support from specialized Air Force tankers, but the missions are performed and the data collected are controlled by the NRO.

    Good luck, Lockheed.

    SR-72 is a marvel with chimera engines that propel it between 2.5 and 3.5 mach at extreme altitudes ... but what is the platform frame composition - improved alloy formulations? A toast to Skunk Works!

    When it test flys people think it’s a UFO. 🤣😂🤣

    “Let’s Figure It Out”. I thought you figured it out bas3 on the vid Title.

    Speed of sound is relative to altitude and air density.

    If they talk about it. It’s done.

    Is it a Max?

    Hopefully, it will remain intact at those velocities.

    It needs to be earlier than that

    8:57 The "Army" doesn't fly hypersonic aircraft...that would be the Air Force......shows your lack of detail.

    Interesting. But what value will this platform bring to the table that isn't already being performed by satellite based reconnaissance?

    I wouldn’t doubt that it is and has been operational for some time now.
    The fact that they would even share any information on this stuff is plain stupid. Why would you give your enemies like China Russia North Korea any idea.

      When they release info it means theres something better entering service than the announcement
