Pictures Of Mystery Plane Over Wichita

Oh, we won't stay slow, hyper is the future.

a reply to: Sammamishman
Jump in supersonic , surely not hyper but supersonic will be an interesting thing , to travel long distance if subsonic it take realy long time to go on the objective not realy an advantage to shoot the vilain mobile launcher, if so there is a chance the launcher has gone when you arrive on it.

As Im not Sure what kind of plane it is

but as i said it look allot like the A 12 II Avenger

So here is a Cut away of the Inside of the Plane and the Payload it can Carry



a Mock Up or the Plane it Self ?


A 12 Avenger Black Manta Echo ?




Underside shot of the A 12 VI



Well for a Plane that was Never Actually Flown nor Built

And was Cancelled in the Early 90s by Dick Cheney..

Kinda Strange if you Ask me ..

There's allot of Mock Up's and Model's of this Plane called the A 12 II Avenger

a reply to: Wolfenz

The A-12 was going to revolutionize naval aviation, by giving them a stealthy capability. It was played up big, and then bigger when it started to go over budget to try to drum up support. The while thing turned into a huge mess that was only recently settled.

Is this it perhaps?

I found out about it from.....hold on, have to get the door.

Bah. The real thing doesn't have anywhere NEAR that awful dihedral. And it's lumpier.

eta: I guess technically it's anhedral. So there.

Is the Wichita aircraft spotted the Boeing Model 119?

Boeing Model 119 Discussion

I'm thinking its a variant of the Boeing/NASA X-48 based design. However I have no proof. I was just a thought I had after watching something about it.

But no evidence is not proof either though.

The shuttle was on the drawing board in 1969. It didn't fly until 1981, but it was under development from the 1960s as well.

Ok not sure i have to look up ?

In the 60s

ok you mean Concept>? or the actuall Design? internally and externally of every panel nut bolt and screw?


Possible configurations considered for the Space Shuttle as of 1970. (NASA photo).

( See ) 288 THE SPACE SHUTTLE'S FIRST FLIGHT: STS-1

The Funding 1969 was zero

according to the NASA site for the space shuttle .

but Research and development > ? not sure if they are talking about the Whole program of NASA Project or are they talking about the Research of The Space Shuttle ?

Speaking of X- planes

Has Anyone Noticed this

The Soviet ( fictional ) Firefox
Looks like in a way Similar to the XB-70 Valkyrie

The Concept of the Idea of the Fictional Fire Fox ?

a littler off topic but hey

a reply to: Wolfenz

Shuttle development in the 60s, was design studies, and concepts. Funding for the actual build didn't begin until the 1970s.

Looks Pretty much like this

The Buran Model

Could this be an RQ-180???

According to aviation week it's been in flight testing at A51

From what I've heard, it's a different platform. I thought it might be as well, but I was told it's something new.

I don't know if this was posted, but last week the U.S. Naval Institute said:

Midwest Mystery Jets are Actually B-2 Stealth Bombers

Yeah, right.

Here's another comparison:

I still think it's the new LRS-B. Although some are saying it could be the SR-72 replacement for the SR-71 Blackbird.
