Everything we know about the mysterious SR-72 — Lockheed Martin's successor to the fastest plane ever

The SR-71 was capable of reaching speeds over three times the speed of sound, and the SR-72 is intended to have even more impressive specs. Following is a transcript of the video.

The SR-72 is the successor to the SR-71 Blackbird spy plane, which was the fastest plane to ever exist.

Built by Lockheed Martin in the 1960s, the SR-71 could reach speeds exceeding Mach 3 (above 2,200 mph). That's over 3 times faster than the speed of sound. The recon jets went out of service in 1998.

Development of the SR-72 was announced in 2013.

It will be headed by "Skunk Works," Lockheed's advanced development program. Lockheed calls the SR-72 a "game changer." The jet will be an unmanned hypersonic aircraft.

Lockheed claims it will reach speeds topping Mach 6 — over 4,500 mph — and they also want the jet to do more than just recon missions, including the ability to strike targets.

Experts say the jet could reach anywhere in the world within an hour.

Rumors of sightings have flooded the internet. Recently, an unmanned aircraft was seen at a Skunk Works facility. Reports say it could have been an early test for the SR-72. Lockheed confirmed plans to fly a research vehicle in the early 2020s.

If all goes well, it may not be long before the fastest plane ever hits the skies.
 
@Goenitz @M.AsfandYar want to share your AVD designs? It'll be a fun trip down memory lane :D

Here's mine for the "KC-1 Titan" aerial refeuling tanker. Not designed for stealth, but endurance.

Disclaimer: This design is absolute garbage. Please don't put this on defencepk facebook page as design for Project Azm's refueler lol.

Mine was a supersonic passenger plane :( And we were dictated on how it should look........
And you know the sad part about that course. The Reports. Everyone rushes to pick those commercial ones because there are shit ton reports. Honestly this might be the second AVD i have seen on that.
Yes, half of my class was transports. I have a lot of designs but I have only shared mine. Can't share other people's designs (obviously).

Sir i would ve to respectfully decline. We picked SST with something different in mind and were forced to go quite another way. I only have bitter memories of that. After 4th week it was mindless calcs, entries into RDS and verification.
I mean even the profile was so terribly made that its impossible to meet all. And he wanted all met. As i said not a happy memory.

Completely fine. I vividly remember what goes on lol.
 
@JamD @Goenitz sir Why dont we each have another go at it again? :) That would be fun. Now it wouldnt be that time consuming. And i might pick up few things from you at the end?

Besides, it's been too long, and I've forgotten most of it.
