Silly question. I am not a big military aircraft buff.

How exactly does speed influence exhaustion?

I don't understand.

Maybe the blackbird was a beast to fly, in all the space suit equipments and the rush of flying it. And the g forces in the sr-71 wouldn't be constantly 3g's.

Mach 25 is almost orbital velocity right? Right. That means this 'space plane' will be in space allot of the time, pulling 0g's. Re-entering would be like the space shuttle. They don't faint when re-entering, and I don't think they're even wearing g suits.

Can someone clear this up for me?

Thanks.

We all KNOW there is more the one Black Program going on at a time.

What if:

- Aroura exists, but has Nothing to do with Hypersonic aircraft.

And

- A hypersonic spylane exists, but was NEVER connected to Aroura in Any way.

Just because both exist, doesn't mean they are the SAME Program! Here's an example:

There was a classified Program in the 1980's called Tacit Blue, and in the Earily 80's there was also a Top Secret Stealth Fighter. However we now know that the F-117 Stealth Fighter was called Senior Trend, and was not connected to Northrop's Tacit Blue. Who's to say Aroura and the Hypersonic Aircraft in Nevada aren't the same thing?

I'm not exactally sure, but if you watch the Video SR-71 Blackbird: The Secret Vigil From Avation Week and Space Technology, one of the SR-71 pilots says:

I've flown a 26 1/2 hour mission in a B-52 and that's as exhausting as a 4 hour mission in the SR-71.

I'm assuming an SR pilot would know what he's talking about. Exactally why this is, I don't know. Maybe it requires more intense concentration to monitor the flight, because everything happens so much faster.

Probably. I did 40 laps in a Go-kart, and I was pretty much exhausted afterwars.

No offense, but I doubt this is correct! The Aroura is supposed to be the sucessor to the SR-71 Blackbird, which was ironically supposed to replace the U-2 Spyplane. Your date would place the first fight of Aurora 3 YEARS before the U-2 was built.

How exactly did the Blackbird's sucessor fly 3 Years before the U-2?

No offense, but your date is WAY off the mark!

But it doesn't exist. Whats your point?

Toga,

how do you know this??? You have anything that would be evidence one way or the other at all?? I am open to either possibility but would love to hear your perspective and reasons why you hold that perspective!!??

Thanks, Mondo

If the Aurora is actually a triangle UFO craft he might be right since development may have started after 1945.

One book on UFOs 1945-1995 did have a triangle UFO sited in the 40s.


So no offense to both of you.

You both are WAY WAY not with the plasma craft development.

That looks like an airliner in the video. I can see what looks like a cylindrical fuselage, and a pair of wings to the side.

Burnley they say? I reckon thats a 747 over Manchester Airport.

There is not a single doubt in my mind that the object in that picture is a commercial airliner taking off. If it were some "secret" jet, the agency responsiblr for its secrecy is totally inept.

Wouldn't it be more Reasonable to think that may have been a X-Plane then a spy plane, Simular to how the X-1 was built to study supersonic flight. It makes more sense to spend 50 years on a Research Program, than 50 years developing an operational system.
