According to the united states government like Top Gun Maverick, these planes you see on screen, dont exist.
Today we will be looking at all the air forces most secret or hushed away black projects that they don't want you to know about.
Everything from supersonic fighter jets, to experiemental powerful new engines, to state-of-the-art drones, and even some pretty wacky concepts like nazi ufos.
I'll let you be the judge of whats real and whats not, but watch this video quick
Before the fed boys come and pick me up for a one on one talk
The first black project was the U-2 spy plane, its still in service and provides day and night, high-altitude (70,000 feet, 21,300 meters) spy missions - for those times when satellites are not fast enough!
Next we have the very first stealth fighter, the F-117 nighthawk. Famously used in the first gulf war, this aircraft didn’t exist for nearly 10 years thanks radar deflecting design, and impossible flight surfaces. Now its been retired, with another aircraft later in this video taking its place.
This tech was then used on the B-2 stealth bomber, which today is mostly famous for flying over football games, with its top secret replacement in just a moment.
Next, have the very famous SR-71. But you probably know all about it, but back when it was in operation, it was science fiction. Built from titanium, it could fly faster than any other aircraft, impossible to shoot down, and performed missions that the u-2 couldnt do..
But thats not all, the project was so successful that a drone version and a fighter jet version were proposed. Called the YF-12, it would have been capable of the same speeds, and able to intercept any soviet bombers long before they reached the United states, or strike deep within russia without being shot down. I'll have a full video on this concept very soon, so subscribe if you haven't already!
But now its time to look at those aircraft that have never been publically revealed, and potentially, might not be real.
While many viewers might know of the SR-71 Blackbird - few know about its rival secret project, the Convair Kingfish - a spy plane that could fly Mach 3.2 at over 90,000 feet. Convair was working on designs that could fly faster and higher than the Blackbird, beat anything the Russians threw at it, and could even be used to deploy then undeveloped supersonic nuclear weapons.
Convair was passed over because unlike Lockheeds excellent proven ability with the U-2, a secret, under budget project, Convair had blown out its budget with the B-58 and lacked a secure Research and development facility like the Lockheed Skunk Works.
Next have the SR-72, also known as the son of the blackbird or sometimes, like in the latest top gun mavrick film, the darkstar.
Travelling over our heads at hypersonic speeds beyond mach 7, lies the future of spy plane technology. It can cross the hemisphere in one hour, enter any country unnoticed, and be out before their jets can even get into the sky.
This future plane doesn't need a pilot, flies twice as fast as the SR-71 blackbird, and futher develoment have rumored that it will be equiped with hypersonic missiles. And the most crazy thing is... it might even be flying right now!
In 2017 Lockheed Executive Vice President Rob Weiss commented that "We've been saying hypersonics [are] two years away for the last 20 years, but all I can say is the technology is mature" - Meaning they have the engine tech for the last 5-6 years - and if the history of the sr-71 is anything to go by, its successor the sr-72 is already flying and will only be declassifed in 20 years. Let me know in the comments if you believe this too.
But if you though the SR-72 was wild, wait till you hear about the Aroura - or the Darkstar! from Top Gun! |
