Goodbye China! New Stealth SR-72 Is Coming !
The SR-72 will reportedly have a top speed of Mach 6, about twice the top speed of the SR-71. This high hypersonic speed of the SR-72, like with previously discussed aircraft, is made possible using a combined-cycle turbofan-scramjet engine developed by a team of Lockheed Martin and Aerojet Rocketdyne. A similar engine setup was used in the Blackbird, giving Lockheed Martin about 30 years of experience with this type of engine. The company also has the backing of NASA, which has already invested $1 billion in the development of the SR-72 and could contribute technologies never before seen on atmosphere-based aircraft. As a result of all of these advancements, the SR-72 Son of Blackbird will reportedly have a unit cost of $1 billion.
