Someone has said stealth plane can't fly at Mach 3?
I guess some people never heard of "High Temperature Ceramic Based Radar Absorbing materials."
I already posted this on Jan 7, 2017.

High Temperature Ceramic Based Radar Absorbing materials.
高温吸波材料基体的研究

This new class of
Ceramic Based Radar Absorbing Materials is High Temperature heat resistance, anti-oxidation, high strength and fracture resistant.
In contrast to polymer based materials, this class of materials must be baked in high temperature oven. This is different from the applied (涂覆型 ) absorbing polymer rubbery materials, which could be easily damaged by rain, heat, sands, or even just by stepping on it.
This over come the heat problem that prevents radar absorbing materials to be use on missiles, inside the jet engine nozzle, and high speed aircrafts.
This class highly heat resistant materials could also forms a barrier to prevent high heat from entering the skin of the aircraft and damage the internal structure or delicate electronics equipments inside it.

高温吸波材料研究新进展与趋势
One of the paper I read said those High Temperature Ceramic Based Radar Absorbing Material could withstand 600C degree celsius, which is more than enough for cruising at Mach 3.

"The aircraft (SR-71, Blackbird) was also covered with
a special black paint to absorb radar, radiate excess heat and to camouflage the aircraft against dark skies — a feature that inspired Air Force to give it the official "Blackbird" name.
Titanium skin helped protect the aircraft's aluminum airframe from the intense heat of supersonic flight. Temperatures ranged from
450 degrees F (
232 C) near the back part of the aircraft to
950 degrees F (
510 C) near the engine exhaust.
