I ran across at fairly strange site in the wee hours of this morning. On of the articles on this site (ie: linked) was dealing with or entitled:

"Secret Government Technology & The TR-3B"
seekers.100megs6.com...

Note: the particular info on the TR-3B craft is close to bottom of page with renderings. Also note, this page loads kind of slow due to amount of info or BS on the page.

Here is one rendering of it:


My question is does this craft really exist or is it merely one man's delusional creation? If, by chance, it is factual, I would appreciate any info, links, or such.

Is this real or BS?

I think it is reasonable to assume that the USAF probably has in its inventory a fairly small amount of highly-specialized recce aircraft (or drones) that match this general description.

It is also reasonable to assume that the aircraft is classified and unacknowledged as well (as was the U-2 and A-12/SR-71 during their early lives).

If I were to speculate, I would say that there are probably two versions:

1. An F-117 like aircraft, manned, that uses a combination of RAM and faceting to acheive low observability. This aircraft would have a sensor pallet instead of a weapons bay and would also probably have a SATCOM capability. It would be a natural evolution of the F-117 (possible a derivative..RF-117?) and would probably be used to lead strike packages into the combat zone, loiter, and then gather BDA info.

2. In later years, a B-2 like aircraft, possible unmanned, that uses a combination of RAM and curvature to obtain low observability. This would be an offshoot of the B-2 and A-12 program designed specifically for stealth recce as well, although it could be much larger than the F-117 for greater range and bigger payloads.

Many years ago when I heard that the USAF was retiring the SR-71 due to costs, I came to believe that they MUST have some new stealth recce aircraft to replace it. The flexibility of the SR-71 and the quality of the data gathered by the Blackbirds was awesome (Ive seen it) and I cant believe the JCS would just throw that away without a suitable replacement....

one man's delusional creation. i also heard that one man and his company were gonna have a fleet of space stations by 2010. HA! and it cant be nuclear powered. we cant make reactors that are small and light enough to fit in an aircraft yet. probally the smallest ones we have are in the Nuclear Carriers and subs in the navy. one man's delusional creation thats all and nothing more. he simply attached United States Air Force to it.
