I have about a week until I pick up his final check, so if anyone has an crazy stuff they want me to ask him, now is the time. He is almost 80, and kind of lonely.....he really likes that I know planes and some of the physics behind some of the more "esoteric" aspects of propulsion and construction.

Great thing that the green Lady is in the USAF hand

Honestly, he really seems like he wants to tell someone. He moved from Torrance (not really, but really close) area around late 90's to care for his sick wife. He spends most of his time by himself, and he really just wants someone to talk to (especially about planes). He apparently had a very specific "situation" on the design team that wouldn't make him very hard to find should someone in the know come looking. I do know that the DIA can be very serious, as I have had to talk to them before regarding a client in TN that did not pay his bill (we put a lien on the property, probably triggered the investigation). I'll give you one guess where he worked....(2 guesses, lol).
Things he has told me that don't say anything other than here:
1.) No AG propulsion, just something that looks a lot like it. He mentions Tesla, "electric universe", and asked if I knew what the Biefield-Brown effect was.
2.) Special fuel is needed to keep the scramjet lit on certain hypersonic aircraft.
3.) Heat on the airframe is not longer an issue with certain craft. See below.
4.) Graphene is used extensively in experimental aircraft and has been for sometime. There are single-piece airframes that are made completely from graphene. (I believe this most, as he seems responsible for some of the key design challenges to marking carbon fiber airframes viable such as bonding composite I-beams to metal, composite fastening systems, and reinforcement of the resin bond joint between parts). Considering he left NG in 96'-97', crazy to think how far its come now.
5.) Boeing "lies" and has "Chinese-made pieces of #"

A lot of things he says seem to back up this Astr0 guys posts. He says there are definitely are craft that use meta-materials ("Do you know what a metamaterial is and a quasi-crystal?") for true optical camouflage. Something on the skin of the airframe redirects all kinds of different EM spectrums around the craft. Like I said, he left NG in the mid 90's, and I remember reading about just the possibility of these things in 2003 in public literature.
