US NEW Super SR-72 Hypersonic Aircraft is Finally Ready After Upgrade!

MILTECH - The SR-72 is a new hypersonic demonstration aircraft that Lockheed Martin will develop under the Skunk Works or Advanced Development program, to meet the requirements of the United States Air Force (USAF).

Lockheed Martin’s hypersonic SR-72 Darkstar could fly by 2023, or perhaps on the silver screen next month!

Many aviation aficionados are familiar with the SR-71 Blackbird, Lockheed's Cold War-era spy plane that has held speed and altitude records for decades in space at 80,000 feet at Mach 3, featuring Crazy strength with unusual alloys and futuristic design. . The Air Force and DARPA have been working on the early development of the hypersonic successor to the SR-71 since the beginning of 2000. In 2013, the USAF announced that it had begun design work and presentation on the SR-72 figure. However, since then, almost no details have been released about the program.

The SR-72 aircraft will be capable of performing intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) and advanced air strike missions. The first flight of the SR-72 demonstration aircraft is scheduled for 2023, with the full aircraft expected to enter service by 2030.

Lockheed Martin is optimistic about flying the FRV in the early 2020s. After the flight test of the demonstrator, the full twin-engine SR-72, which is similar to the SR-71, may make its first flight before 2030.

The SR-72 incident has been under wraps for years, and details remain scarce. In 2020, however, we finally get to see what Skunk Works has been up to for the past two decades.

Meanwhile, the SR-72 is being built as a hypersonic demonstration aircraft, a name that opens up the decision of whether it will be given the green light as a full-scale production vehicle. There is also speculation about its role as a research vessel capable of carrying hidden weapons to bomb the stratosphere.

As with any sophisticated aircraft of this nature, it takes time to solve problems and to invest a lot of money. The first series of tests of the SR-72 Darkstar will take place in late 2023, and if approved for official production, it will not join the arsenal of the Air Force until 2030.
