No official announcement exists that I've seen. This video is simply repeating all the speculation that already exists, plus stock animations, and plenty of mentions of Top Gun 2.
They don't admit to anything that's still relevant. The Blackbird was in X-Men comic books 10 years before the government admitted to it being real.
0:53 "Mark 6" speed. Wow, this should be called "Beyond Spelling".
5:28 mach 3 is something, but doing it with the landing gear down is even more impressive lol
4:03 "But why is the SR72 coming nearly 30 years later then the SR-71?" Shows a span of 58 years lol
The fact most people arnt shocked at the technology the SR71 had in the 60s blows my mind.
No surprise. This news got out somewhere around 1979 . The word in that day it went several thousand miles per hour. No missiles could catch it.
My uncle was a mechanic on the SR-71 and worked on it at a Top Secret base. A base that doesn’t exist!
As of my research it’s been in development since around 2005 and was flying in 2018 and is definitely on missions as we speak
THIS NEEDS TO BE FACT CHECKED FOR TRUTH.
This guys math sucks. He said 30 yrs 1964 to 2022 isn’t 30 brother. lol. Love this craft.
I live in southern California and this morning I saw something in the sky that it took 5 minutes to fly from one end to another in the sky it was fast I'm sure it was over Arizona
4 years in the AF. Only seen 1 SR-71, but not for very long. C-5 Galaxy's were awesome.
Thanks to Kelly Johnson for this plane he was a genius plane builder Robert McNamara tried to erase the genius of this man McNamara was in the Whitehouse and didn't understand the intelligence of this man the plane a hundred years ahead of everything upto that time thank you. Kelly Johnson
I remember they showed a peak of this thing back in the 90s on a discovery channel show. They literally said this is Darkstar. Working on it way longer then they said. No wonder the Pentagon hasn't passed an audit lol
Amazing!! They had a prototype already of the SR72 in 1994.. but now in these days.. the electronics technology that will be fitted in the SR72 will surpass anything that was available in 1994... including the stealth technology.
I love the SR-71. I was actually sad when it was retired.
I just watched a video about the SR-91 Aurora. Supposedly can do between Mach 6 and Mach 7. And can possibly go into orbit outside of what anything else can do.
This is old Technology. My father told me about it before he died and that was 20 years ago. He worked for Rocketdyne and had Secret clearance. He said it would push the aircraft to over 5.000 mph. Nothing they can do to him now.
