Im an avid History Channel watcher and every day at noon my love of history is disrupted by a UFO show . When im too lazy or tired i leave it run and watch Dr.Ive been in the desert too long talk about the secerate planes that fly from area 51 ( i have doubt about that its a military base ) and once in a while an object flies so fast the ground will shake made from extraterestrial reverse enginering , well that seemed a bit far fetched to me untill today ( the alien part ..still sceptical) . Theorists called it The Aurora hypersonic spy plane , today Nasa came out and told the world its years of speculation are true ..welcome the new breed of War Plane the Vulcan , able to hit 10,000 MPH or mach 5 ..thats 3 times the speed of sound . Check out the clip for Fox News interviewing one of the Nasa Folks http://www.comcast.net/data/fan/html/popup.html?v=779215474&pl=622214722.xml&plc=622214722&launchpoint=Cover&cid=fancover&attr=default_headline&config=/config/common/fan/default.xml
Isn’t Mach 5, 5 times the speed of sound? The SR-71 Blackbird goes Mach 3+ anyways. And in the video they were calling it the “Blackswift” and state that it can go 6 times the speed of sound and that they are playing around with 10 times the speed of sound 😯 WOW…
They showed a picture of the single tail fin and “video” of the double tail fin…
Heck, either way that is FAST and I am sure they will give it a name that sticks well. 😉 Damn!
What’s the point ❓
They want to spend that much money for…?
It’s cool and everything if you can afford it, but I equate it to buying a Porche when you’re on a Daewoo budget 😆
Besides, what really can this plane do (other than go faster) than the SR-71?
