well I believe it is a real aircraft, i dont have proof but the science and tecnology behind the craft is sound.

just have a look at this

www.aerospaceweb.org...

this website details how a Waverider aircraft such as the aurora would work

en.wikipedia.org...

this short wikpedia article details the most likely fuel used my the aurora

en.wikipedia.org...

and this wiki details the most likely propulsion system.

thank you and goodnight

February 1986 cover of Discover magazine



I had looked through there twice! I forgot the photo is not directly posted in that thread, but is attached to a web link.

I was looking for the photo and couldn't find it. Sorry for the goof on my part!

I think it's pretty obvious that the Aurora exists or has existed, but I also believe it's capabilities have been exaggerated. There is some strong evidence that an aircraft flew over Nevada at speeds approaching mach 4 on multiple occasions.

It is unlikely that it was the SR-71 for a number of reasons. It most likely could not fly that fast, it had already been retired and why would the USAF test fly a plane that had been around for decades? So either the Blackbird is faster than it's supposed to be or this was some prototype of a black aircraft.

The programme might have been cancelled though. Perhaps they thought it was too expensive, or perhaps they simply couldn't make it fly as fast as they wanted it to? Or maybe it is operational and maybe it can achieve hypersonic speed now a days.

But as far as I know, there is no evidence what so ever that the USAF has ever had a plane capable of flying faster than mach 4.

Well yes, something called Aurora did exist, it was on that budget (even though no one can find a copy of it). The official explanation was that it was a project related to the B-2. Except for that no one knows whether its recon or a bomber, hypersonic or subsonic, everything else is speculation.


I saw a photo of it in some documentary. It said "Other aircraft" and mentioned Aurora, the SR-71, the U-2 and some other spy plane. So it is (or was) most certainly a recon aircraft.

if it were a continued project, it's existence would of been public already.


I guess it would make sense to keep a spy plane secret though.
