I heard about the Dark Star back in 2014. The speed is much greater than Mach 6. It can fly from LA to NYC in 20 minutes at top speed. Yes thats Mach 12. It can hit and be gone. It travels so fast it can evade all missles.. Russia is making an attempt to counter with their S-550, but the Dark star is probably 8 to years ahead in technology. Go USA.. :)

Sorry, the SR-71 never was a 'fighter' aircraft, reconnaissance only. Maybe you misspoke.

OMG, the SR-71 was never a fighter craft, it was surveillance. And a variable jet motor is not going to go from jet-turbine to rocket, it would go to RAMjet or SCRAMjet. You lose all credibility on what is really truth, when you don't even know how to describe a bullet cartridge- for example. Sounds like a California lawmaker trying to describe a rifle by how many clips it can fire per second, via upgraded caliber.

I think there is a little BS in this Podcast!! Damn this guy is smoking some pretty heavy duty hay!!!

Thank GOD she is on our side!! Also, GOD bless the scientists and the energizer that helped to build it.

Do not let our enemies get this technology.

The beauty of KZfaq is that you can upload literally anything and some people will believe it.

I’d just like to know where are you getting all this data from??

IF THEY REVEAL THIS.. THEY HAVE EVEN BETTER.

The Lockheed Martin SR-72, colloquially referred to as "Son of Blackbird", is an American hypersonic UAV concept intended for intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) proposed privately in 2013 by Lockheed Martin as a successor to the retired Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird. The company expected an SR-72 test vehicle could fly by 2025...

There is no way a plane can fly at 2 miles per second close enough to the ground to take roofs off houses. Maybe one can go that fast at 80k feet or more, but not on the deck.

The SR-71 was an incredible reconnaissance aircraft. As a retired imagery analyst for the U.S. government, I'm quite familiar with its collection. Waiting to see the SR-72.

it was flying 20 years ago

2 miles per second 😮🎉

The SR-71 was first flown around 1964 and it was a product of the late 1950's and early 1960's. 1964 was 59 years ago so you don't think the USA has made tremendous technological advances in 60 years?

Wait...the SR-71 was maneuverable? You're kidding, right? It's widely known that to turn around at speed, it would cross a couple states. Also, pilots didn't use standard flight masks. They had to use essentially space suits.

"ease the conflict", ?!?!?!? yeah, right!

Rules for advanced aircraft. If you know about it, it's already obsolete.

A bit hard to put much faith in what this vid has to say when they don't seem to realize the SR 71 was never a fighter... literally it's in the name SR Perhaps it's time to rebrand from Tech News to Tech Fiction?

The Aurora Project has been going on for years, wake-up people!

I know that the United States has the very best fighting planes in the world, but I believe they show too much of what we have available.

The government always says "still under development" LONG after it's been put in service. Are they lying? Not really. How many years were they working out the bugs on the F-35? How many years have they been updating security patches in Microsoft Windows?

F-117 flew combat sorties a decade before we knew it existed. I'd say Dark Star has the same track record. She has been flying for awhile now I'd be willing to bet.

The sole Darkstar prototype was destroyed whilst testing at Mach 10 during 2019. It was piloted by Captain Pete "Maverick" Mitchell at the control but the Air Force has recently released film of testing in cinemas.

The Darkstar is an aircraft that does not exist, it was made up for Top Gun Maverick. But Google does exist, try using it.

Imagine being a fly on the wall of a Skunk works meeting room!?

SR-71 was never a combat platform.

Thank you to our USA 🇺🇸 MILITARY 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

You have some stuff wrong but either way it is insane how fast flight has developed since the wright brothers. Once we figured out how airfoil worked it was quick

They said that about the U2 .it fly’s to high to be hit .how did that work out

All the Chinese need apparently is the unstoppable weather balloon, bane to the U.S. Military.

It has been known that since “Star Wars” tech came out that laser beams can be defeated by reflective coatings. How does this laser work against coatings that reflect the infrared frequency of this laser?

did you notice they said unmanned? AI will be our curse.

You need LORD Consulting to put a neutronium Meissner force field fabric on that vessel - and there will be no G forces, no shear forces, no heat differentials from nose to tail, no speed limit, ... as you have a literal air slipstream (no air friction sound barrier). LORD Consulting is the leading researcher for superconductors, superconductivity, superconductive fabrics, ... and supra-sessional flying abilities.

You've already shared the capabilities of the seventh generation fighter so you must be working on the 10th by now. 🇺🇸✝️☝️🙏☝️✝️🇺🇸

Does it have USB ports?

The sr71 is not a fighter jet, it's role was that of spy, reconnaissance

I think that's about 3000 totally unbelievably unbeatable warplanes that have appeared online in recent years. Strangely, they are all still secret and do not even appear at airshows. Perhaps they are so fast and stealthy that they disappear up their own tailpipes. They are also insulting those who built planes like the SR71 by suggesting they only discovered how much they heated up or the difficulties of balancing partial pressures for oxygen delivery at altitude AFTER they were flying.

Let’s see what the Tic-Tac can do! Lol

Are you serious? If that’s true, why were you using top gun scene to describe the new fighter jet?

i have a question for you , why have you put into your video commentary commentary from the British Tempest Program ?

Aren't there already Hyper-sonic Missiles..? as well as Lasers that could be mounted to a 'Drone' type missile..? How far does a Laser beam remain DANGEROUS or even DEADLY?? Particularly if it misses the target, or after it has cut thru the target....

5 video screens housed deep inside the airframe in a pilot pod would allow frontal aerodynamics to be ahead of any other aircraft

Missiles cannot catch it??? How about a laser beam or emp weapon

SR-71 was not the worlds fighter jet because it was not a fighter, it was a recon jet. And the jets colliding with their own missles is BS. Take a physics class. The rocket will always fly faster thant the fighter because rocet speed is already moving at tha fighters speed even before the rocket fires. The two speeds add together to get the rocket speed.

Question: how did this aircraft emerge from that hanger without ripping the wings off.

Whatever happened to the Aurora? Thought that it was Thee Kool Plane?

They will never tell you where they are at. We have advanced techno!ogies.

A popular idea but not strong reality support, SR71 and any SR72 are reconnaissance aircraft although some thought was given to an armed version of the SR71. If the aircraft exists and if it is for actual engagement with the enemy it is far more likely to be a strike aircraft not an air superiority fighter. It’s actually too fast for that, you mentioned this yourself, that lasers were chosen not missiles as it could run into its own missiles.

Wow 2 miles per second is never heard of today so far. Dark Star 72 is still Under develpment wow wow😊.

With the US national debt of 32.7 trillion .

Are you talking about the Sarkstar or the UKs Tempest as you use both

Definitely makes me proud to be AMERICAN !

So paramount pictures approach Lockheed Martin and say, can you design us a plane that will be the fastest ever? Sure says lockheed martin, that'll be 800 million dollars... please😂😂 hilarious

That is sick

a 350 KW laser? I dont think so.

earlier today i had an idea but since i am not an engineer or anything like that... i'm a sci fi geek and a dreamer mostly. but anyhow ... i was thinking about the issues of having stealth aircraft with missile bays and how when they are opened that it compromises their stealth. how about a rear facing torpedo tube sort of system? i mean you put the weapon into the tube and back it up ... when you wish to launch it, you basically open up flaps on the weapons tail that drag it out of the tube... or you could use venting or pressure systems to push it out... thou i do like the flap idea most... probably used in conjunction with one of the others... anyhow the weapon would need a means of ignoring the launching craft after being released as to not target it when its propulsion engages... would that be a good means of launching a weapon instead of just opening a bay to release them? you'll still need bay doors for loading, but i can imagine them being in a rotary magazine, similar to one that can be carried with b-52's or "other" bombers... which could be pre loaded and waiting for exchange with an aircraft that needs re-arming far faster than loading them each manually within a bay. course this would mean to have either an adjustable launch "torpedo" bay diameter... to accomodate weapons of different sizes... or mean a standardization or add ons to use smaller ones in a larger launch tube... in my head i think "similar to sabot"??... idk if the bay itself could just adjust.. more complicated but in the end it would allow more to be carried right? eh... anyhow that is the idea that popped into my head earlier so felt i shoudl share.. peace.

"SR" means Strategic Reconnaissance, not a fighter/bomber type plane. The "A-12" variant was supposed to be the attack plane, but never put into service. 7200 miles per hour is much faster than I previously heard of. The X-15 was a rocket plane for testing, not any kind of military or commercial aircraft.

It should be able to lock a target and fly by and drop laser guided missiles while they use their speed to take off....if someone sent drones to identify targets prior to the darkstars arrival it would make target identification instant. You could do all of it remotely to be honest....superfast lightweight drones for recon and then a mach 8 missile dropper with wings that is way higher than the enemy can fly....we need this stuff

That “most powerful Laser in Existence” is totally dead weight, making the aircraft “unarmed” if so. Unless it is fighting non-military targets. But in 2018, the utility of “Laser Weapons” came to a crashing end faster than did the end of the Battleship with the arrival of the carrier. A technological development that had not been expected for a LONG WHILE was made, creating something that is now accelerating not just re-usable heat-shield development for Spacecraft, but is also a nigh impenetrable armor against lasers for a mere fraction of a mm of material: Hardened Aerogels. The “Hardened” simply means that it doesn’t crumble to dust so easily like normal aerogels. But like regular aerogels, it is capable of withstanding enormous temperatures. And it became a “Thing” in 2018, and not just a “thing,” but the creator had a scalable manufacturing process. It was this development that is why the US Military (and Russian, Chinese, Japanese, French, Germans, English, etc… Everyone working on High-Powered Laser Weapons) suddenly became very disinterested in those weapons, and the existing programs were effectively wrapped-up, since, just like all of the Battleships built just prior to WWII, they were essentially a legacy weapon that had no real use in War, and were too expensive to use for things like Piracy Interdiction. So… Your “Sooper-Seekret-airplane” here with a “Lazer-beemz” (spellings intentional) is unarmed, and carrying dead weight it would be better-off without. Because pretty much everything is now made with critical component that have a small layer of hardened aerogel on them (something you could not even tell was a hardened Aerogel unless you knew it before hand). And in the next few years the entire military will be retrofitting the hardened aerogels into the normal armor and weapon construction process since it is negligible in weight and volume (as I mentioned, something like 0.1mm to 0.25mm is sufficient to protect pretty much anything from any laser anyone could build for the next several decades - and by then the next technology that will do vastly more than rendering any POSSIBLE Laser, be it an X-Ray or Gamma-Ray Laser of Trillions of Joules energy or any other Laser that could conceivably be built, entirely useless. That technology is Hyper-Reflecting/Refracting Metamaterials). And the Hyper-Reflective/Refractive Metamaterials are things that do not depend upon traditional optics to work. The types and arrangement of atoms in their substrate causes interference with any photons, or any energy (i.e. Electromagnetic Energy of ANY kind), to be unable to “touch” or be absorbed by the Atoms/Molecules of the Metamaterial. That then causes the photons bounce off the atoms until they are passed through the material and out in another direction (programmed via the construction or manipulation of the Metamaterial), or simply “bounce off” the Metamaterial entirely (Refracting or Reflecting with an Indices of Refraction asymptotic to a Limit͢͢ ±∞ and an Index of Reflection equivalent to that of Refraction(Asymptotic to a Limit͢͢͢͢ ∞). Kind of hard for a Laser to damage something that it cannot “Touch.” The Metamaterials also have another property that is going to mess up a LOT MORE than just Laser Weapons. They are invisible (or can be made invisible) to any kind of EM based Detection we currently use (Vision, Radar, LiDAR, etc). Sonar would still work, but there is a possibility that the Metamaterials could be created to function the same way with sound. Leaving few options to detect them. Dirt on them might be detected visually, but it, nor “scratches” damage or affect the Metamaterials in any way, because their properties aren’t derived from the traditional “Optics” of Lenses or Mirrors. Mass remains the only real way to detect them, and currently Mass Interferometers tend to be many square miles in size. And they are only capable of detecting mass along the plane they are built on. Very scary “plane” you’ve got there as a result.

My craft goes into air and underwater and runs on a power you wish you had . 😂

Mach 9 and highly manoeuvrable? Get real, at that speed it will travel in straight lines and turn slowly, otherwise the g-force will flatten the pilot. Also, where is the fuel, it’s smaller than the SR-71. As far as I know Dark Star was the program name for a small forward swept drone, cancelled in the late 1990s. The white aircraft about midway is clearly the recently rolled out X-59 QUESST proof of concept vehicle. The generally breathless presentation is reminiscent of the AWST articles about Soviet nuclear powered bombers in the late 50s/early 60s, cheer leading for biggest Air Force budgets. More likely a cleverly managed misdirection exercise, with the movie tie-in to ‘explain’ Skunk Works activity, a bunch who’d long been good at keeping secrets. In terms of reconnaissance satellites or drones make more sense. I’d be more interested in seeing if Lockheed was collaborating with DARPA and the AI community to develop drone swarms with autonomous capabilities.

Saying the SR71 was a fighter proves how uninformed the narration is

USA has the money and the technology to make the best fighter jet in the world... Its military spending is more then the Next 10 countries combine, those list include China, Russia, India etc...

The SR-71 is not a fighter.

Maybe no fighter, but missiles certainly can. No weapon system is invincible.

My kids and I had the honor of seeing the Mock-up from the Top Gun movie at the Edwards AFB open house air show in 2022.

They make alot of classified projects in dream land Nevada they proble built this long ago just like the aurora and sr71 by now they are probably working on anti gravity program because you can only fly so fast without a heat shield friction at the speeds talked about would cause damage and would cost to much to constantly maintain

Mach 10 is all very well until you want to go anywhere other than in a straight line.

Very nice❤

I'm so impressed with the Darkstar! Why hide it? Scare enemies to the peace table!

Isn't the F35 a modern copy of the British Jump Jet?

It wasn't revealed. Everything in Top Gun was CGI. The takeoff at the beginning was an overlay onto a Hornet if I remember correctly.

Damn the producer of this is incredulous.

Realy I like this powerful fastest planes I wil like to have infinit numbers

A fun video. A lot of CGI from the movies and an interview of Richard Dewar who is the Manager of Next Generation Technologies for BAE Systems taken back in 2020 about the Tempest project. I bet the Skunk works were as surprised as everyone else at this video.

Thank you america and other allies to supports in west philippine sea...

7th Gen onwards the fighters would be Unmanned, Hypersonic,with Directed Energy Weapons.

Forget all the other bells and whistles…the shit is unmanned?! Thats awesome.

You Should Not Underestimate Anything, When It Concerns Skunkworks.▪️◾️⚫️

I touched a SR-71. It is still Awesome.

BAE systems ( Bacon And Egg systems) own the tic tac. Project greenglow Good luck rest of world 😂

Can I be honest, there is no way you can drop or fire anything with such a platform. I totally agree it would have too be high energy weapons. Were nowhere near this, close but not yet.

Darkstar is a reconnaissance aircraft, not a foghter..

It still has to avoid missile defence systems especially air to air. if a missile is coming straight at your nose your 7500 mph works against you.

ONLY cartoons from movies of hollyweird jets; how did the one on the flight line get there, without ANYONE taking a video of it. CGI is great for the lame.

''It turned out to be so impressive (and secret) that it was featured in a movie''.....yeah right! 😅 Coming soon ''Elvis lives in Antarctica''.

Carrying a 350Kw laser? The engines would have to have waste alot of energy ALL the time or there are going to be ramp speed issues. OR the super capacitor to hold that energy for use is going to be big, too. As for super maneuverable... There are physical limits to breaking or moving a hypersonic air cone that is right on the skin of your craft. The redirection is going to take miles because of the "bite" of the control surfaces or propellant necessary to change direction (to change pointing direction and then to apply the vector thrust to get it arc into the new path) is going to small because Newton's first and third laws are not going to be happy. So the engines of this beast would have to generate enough force to accelerate it and it has to be very light to keep M low to allow a high A or a huge F that requires energy and either very short flights. There is no free ride in F=MA and then add air resistance. AND you want to fire a 350Kw laser more than once a day. Sure. Can't wait to see it one day, but they can't be using aviation fuel.

I build the best fighter-bomber and fighter-bomber ship and It would be the best of all the ships because it can go out into the atmosphere

I think I know the pilot.....a Mr Flash Gordon

Make sure if you create a jet that it has the ability to have hypersonic Nuclear missiles. Hypersonic flight. With the most powerful lasers available. Mandatory All 3. There's no sense in having to say we should of. Just get it done, please thank you. God bless.

Ssssshhhhh…. Keep it low profile. Hope China, N. Korea, Russia and Iran are not watching your video. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 I enjoy watching your videos….👍🏻🇺🇸

Guaranteed that this is the same tactic used by the military with the F-19 model by Revell - what it really is is something totally different 😂

The SR-71 is not a fighter. This sounds be lot of over hyped.

Looks like the revied the P-38 lightning. I knew that this build was better than the standard aircraft but didn't realize that they that they done it until now. P-38 to SR-71 to SR-72.

Wow!2.24 it looks like US has 6G already !

If no fighter jet can beat the darkstar how'd i gun it down with a MiG-21bis

The “Darkstar” is only that great if Tom Cruise is at the helm!

Make it into a star fighter and you'll remove the G-forces that affects the pilot and all the pilot to do is slow descend back to Earth. But the poor pilot has to suffer the pressures until reaching space.

Same plane.....Thanks 👍👍 Shoe🇺🇸
