One thing I know about the US military. If they’re telling you about this technology, it’s because it’s inferior and they have something far better now.
Facts. If this is being revealed there's definitely something better that's classified. Trillions in debt with citizens suffering as a result of it. Yearly maintenance in the multi millions for equipment we don't even know about lol

When I was in the US Military they always told us the tech we were using was stuff they didn't care about losing since we already have tech 10-20 years more advanced that they wouldn't let us use, they are just keeping that stuff in reserve until they are ready to use it(when they have something even better int he works).
It's both sad and amazing simultaneously. I floated around in an I class submarine when I was in the USN. Was there when the seawolf was revealed for sea trials and told its capabilities along with the technology on board. Depressing to see the junk we were given but then you learn it's superior to nearly everything in the world...and the smile because seawolf was just a big middle finger to every military thinking they were closing in on our military might.
One Mach equals 767.269mph, miles per hour is used in the US, and one Mach equals 1234.8 kilometers per hour. …………………………………………………………….. There was a comment by one of your viewers to my ratings so to be more specific sea level to altitude is a different speed rating from land to altitude. Here is the break down, The speed of sound (Mach 1) varies with altitude and temperature. If an aircraft is travelling at the speed of sound at sea-level then its speed will be 661 knots (760 miles per hour) or if it is travelling at the speed of sound at 30,000 feet then its speed will be 589 knots (677 miles per hour).
@@johnnylongtwig6398 if you want to get technical, yes sea level and altitude has different mach 1 to mph, The speed of sound (Mach 1) varies with altitude and temperature. If an aircraft is travelling at the speed of sound at sea-level then its speed will be 661 knots (760 miles per hour) or if it is travelling at the speed of sound at 30,000 feet then its speed will be 589 knots (677 miles per hour). So yes we can just round it off and say its around 700mph to meet in the middle. No matter what its fast as hell…lol

Right. They are allowing us to be aware of these aircrafts. There are others they've been working on for years, if not decades, and rest assured they're more advanced.
The only release information about this type of technology is when it is already obsolete, and there is something new replacing it. Imagine what they REALLY have now!
One note on all of this, is the US military never releases the max speed of the jet. The SR-71 max speed is still classified. We just know its AT least Mach 3.2. So you can be sure the SR-72 can go faster than Mach 6 already.
Yep, we lie about our, military capabilities, but to make ourselves appear weaker, whereas some other countries that might be in a war right now with their neighbor lie to make themselves seem more powerful.
People dont realize that Maverick was already in pre-production 2015/16. That long time was doing research and vetting the writers and producers of the movie to talk to the Skunkworks guys. It was the same way with Michael Bay and the Pentagon. From "dont talk about the rail gun" to Transformers 2 railgun scene.
The b52 is a open airframe, and it has been in service since the 1950's. Some of the original flight crews grandchildren are still flying the same plan thier grandparents did. It's an amazing plan that's been in service for almost 80 years and won't be retired until after 2050
The prices are shocking because they're development prices. Once you figure something out for the first time you're able to streamline the process when remaking it the second.
That’s not how physics work. The bullet would travel relative to the object it was fired from. Ever flown on a plane? Can you toss something or just it fly back in your face at 600MPH? It had no gun because it was outflying anything it would have had to shoot at. Besides that it’s not built maneuver like that.
And without continuous propulsion the plane would then fly faster than the bullet just like original commenter said. If you in fact throw something out of a plane it would definitely not continue going faster than the plan Einstein. 😂
@@betozun8850Actually the other guy is right, if you fire the bullet forward it will eventually degrade and drop below the path of the aircraft, even bullets on ww2 fighters did that, you wouldn’t fly into the bullet, the velocity of the bullet will degrade relative to the platform from which it was fired. this is elementary, watch the video about people diving into cruise ship pools.

It's common knowledge in the States, if they are showing you what is apparently "new", they are already working on something else. They tend to do this
A Mach number is the ratio of an object's speed to the speed of sound. Mach 1 is the Speed of Sound which is about 761 mph. So Mach 2 would be 2 x the speed of sound (1522 mph), Mach 3 is 3 x the speed of sound, etc.
As we increase speed beyond Mach 1, the relationship with the speed of sound is not linear. Instead of being proportional, it becomes exponential. Mach 1 is equal to the speed of sound. Mach 2 is not simply twice the speed of sound; it is faster due to the compressibility of air. As we move toward Mach 3, Mach 4, and beyond, the relationship becomes increasingly complex and nonlinear.
Fun fact about the predecessor, SR-71, the interesting design for the fuel tanks meant that the aircraft would actually leak fuel when it was on the ground. They specifically designed it like this because, at the time, we didn't have a way to seal the tanks with a material that would maintain a seal at both sea level and at its max ceiling height and cruise speed. On the runway, it leaks. On takeoff, it leaks. When its flying, it doesnt. Because of this, they used a special fuel specifically made for it, the fuel being designed to require an extremely high flashpoint temperature to avoid any possible accidental fires on the ground. Even the engines warming up and firing on the takeoff would not cause external fuel on the ground to ignite. There was also a myth going around that the SR-71's airframe would actually stretch by over a foot while at max speed because of thermal expansion. This isn't true. Torrey Larsen (from Skunk Works) determined that, at most, it stretches less than 2 inches. Still crazy, but definitely not as much as a whole foot or more.
I'm so glad they finally announced this. As they said, there have been rumors for years. Very cool plane. And the Quarterhourse is exciting for a whole differnet reason. Return of the Concord, but without having to blow windows out everywhere it goes.
As F22's are "retired" they don't go to the scrapyard. They are covered in a protective coating and "mothballed" in the desert so that, if needed, they can be quickly returned to service. They can also be canabalized for spare parts to keep other aircraft flying.
When they were giving the different cost of the planes and projects, they were sometimes referring to overall development costs or sometimes like the B-2 Bomber per plane cost. Most of the time they were talking about development cost not per plane or jet engine.
Mechanical Engineer who has worked in the defence industry. The Mach Number is defined by the ratio of speed divided by the speed of sound of the fluid. M=V/a where: M=Mach number V=Velocity and a=speed of sound of the fluid. a can be calculated as the square root of the Gamma x R x Temperature. For air its about 340 to 360 metres per second. For a different fluid for example water at room temperature, the speed of sound is around 1400 metres per second. For our conversation we will stick with air. So when the velocity V = 360 m/s and a = 360 m/s then M=360/360=1, hence Mach 1. The Mach number does not have units as both V and a have units of m/s and they cancle each other out. hope that helps
@@SavageHeliosOne Yes, altitude can affect the speed of sound. Sound generally travels more slowly at higher altitudes because the air is colder and less dense. At sea level, sound travels at about 760 miles per hour, but at 30,000 feet it's closer to 670 miles per hour. This decrease in speed with altitude is called a negative sound speed gradient.
The camera equipment in the SR71 was so advanced it could snap a photo of a penny on the ground from 70k feet and you could see the date. 1 million per photo.
@@sunondalyons73 yeah it's been trying for 2 years in Ukraine, sure you can say they haven't been there its Ukraine doing the fighting and that the USA would have air and maritime warfare in comparison to the Ukrainian army, in full fledge war, every single boat/carrier/etc would be simply floating coffins, attacking mainland Russia with planes? expect the same to happen mainland US, the US would faster fall into the stone age than Russia.
@yomamayosista Bull... attacking the mainland United States is a logistical nightmare. Did you honestly compare the Ukraine to the USA military? Russia allied themselves with China for a reason. If both nations fought without nukes, the United States would crush Russia. Russia is no longer a super power.
mach 1 = 767.269 MPH = 1234.799762 KPH mach 6 = 4603.61 MPH = 7408.792132 KPH what they where talking about at 6 billion for the engine was just the development costs not the production costs most likely if they can sell enuf of them the cost will likely be around 1 million for each engine
Very proud of my youngest son. He went to school. (I told him to). And now he works in tech. And one of the biggest in science and tech experiments of military knowledge. Using vastly advanced intelligence. It’s new tech. Clever boy. He is my son ❤
Mach 1 at sea level is around 700 MPH. The air at low altitude is too dense for max speed, Sound waves propagate faster at higher densities. In general, the denser the medium the faster sound propagates through it. The speed of sound in water is around 1300 FPS, in bone it goes up astronomically. I spent many years working with sound physics.
Sound travels at sound travels through air at 343 meters per second (m/s), or 1 kilometer in 2.91 seconds. This is Mach 1. The SR 71 traveled at 3.2 times the speed of sound. DarkStar is claimed to fly 6 times the speed of sound. Since Hypersonic is mach 5, the Dark Star travels faster than hyper speed. Pilots can pass out at around 3Gs. I wonder how many G-forces are created at Mach 6. G-forces accounts for how many times your own weight
While station at 29 MAGCC during the early 90s. We started getting a sonic boom every morning at 0600. look up and you'll see a streak go across the at amazing speeds. Couldn't even see the aircraft, just the contrails. Being in Air defense, I was taught about all aircrafts , by different militaries around the world, but not about this one. The Obsprey was a prototype in 1989.
Remember In The USA Military All Top Secret Technology is Always at-least 60 years ahead/ advance. What Ever is Unclassified is already old technology.
I wouldn't call it "old". Just because you have one or even a few super advanced craft means nothing if you can't utilize logistics to properly field them (see Russia's SU-57). Prototyping, testing, and future-proofing a design is just 1/3rd of the process. Second is contracting manufacturers to make the prototype at scale. Then you have to test the production models to ensure they're on par with the prototype (or even improve the design further). Then they have to be integrated into US battle doctrine. Then pilots have to be trained to not only use it but push the craft to its full capabilities. And the capabilities are then compared with rival peer state equivalents, if they exist. The F-22, as an example, is still "new" by world standards because there is no comparison in any other nation's inventory that has the same numbers as the F-22 (187 in US so far) and any craft that are close are still not as effective or advanced as the F-22 (there is a reason the US doesn't sell them to any allies). The Darkstar might as well be a UFO from another planet to nations like China and Russia, they have nothing remotely close. What's scary is what we have that no one knows about that is waiting to be scaled into production. It's interesting that there is probably an entire treasure trove of futuristic gear, systems, and craft that are just gathering dust at Skunkworks because we didn't have the infrastructure or resources to scale up production.
I mean there is credible people including the guy that ran the uav department that has confirmed that the us government has in possession crashed alien spacecraft
@@PenTheMighty all things the US doesnt have issues with. Maybe Russia and the rest of the world. Just like the F-22 raptor, thing is 20 years old and still the best jet in the sky(granted they just did some updates to it).
@@Jamezy316 The raptor is such a great dog fighter, we cut the order short, because pilots were going 1 v 10 vs the F-15, which itself never lost a fight. You don't need very many, when they are that much better than what the other guy has.
The speed of sound (Mach 1). For objects traveling in dry air of a temperature of 20 °C (68 °F) at sea level, this speed is approximately 343.2 m/s (1,126 ft/s; 768 mph; 667.1 kn; 1,236 km/h).
Another reason the SR 71 carried to weapons was because it's not practical to fire a weapon if the plane can outrun it's own munitions. Also, the likelihood was high that the SR 71 would run into its own bullets or missiles, if they did use them, since we didn't have have missiles fast enough.
The new top gun movie 'Maverick' has the new ZR 72 in it. Your watching a video with old information. We already are using it. And it is hotting Mach 10+
Mach 20 is 15345.38 MPH or 24696 KPH. Meaning that this aircraft could reach anywhere on the planet in less than 1 hours time since the earth is only 16,000 miles in diameter. So essentially, this aircraft could take off and land at the same airbase it left from in 1 hour and 4 minutes time after traveling around the entire planet.
The Earths diameter is just over 7,000 miles, It's circumference is just over 24,000. Still reachable to go anywhere within that time frame, just depends on which direction you go
Speed of sound also changes with the medium. In water vs sea level vs at 80,000 feet where you can go Mach 20. So it adds some extra distance to fly fast at 80,000 feet. around the earth.
Writing the speed out to 3 decimal places is hilarious. Just so you know it's not necessary or even correct to express the speed like that. 770 mph is perfectly acceptable and the common approach.
1 mach is point break of sound barrier. When you reach the speed of sound and break that barrier, you've reached Mach 1 = 761 mph. The blackbird sr71 was faster then time. It took off from NY at 1:00 p.m. it landed in California LA at 11:23 a.m. same day
1 Mach is 768 Mph. We don't go by Kilometers here in the States. We use the Standardized Imperial Number system. Like 1 inch, 1/2 inch, 19/32 thar kind of thing.
It's just a really good thing that America respects other Countries right to their own government. It's only when those countries or evil groups start interfering with our people or our allies, that America will step in. We will always protect.... We are not perfect, but we are good.
No we're just good at pulling the wool over people's eyes. We've quietly over thrown more countries and installed political puppets than you realize. Damn near the whole middle east. Syria, libiya, Afghanistan, African countries. American government is corrupt to the core just like most first world nations. Our citizens are good, our leaders are evil.
FYI, Mach is the speed of sound and is not a set value as the speed of sound varies at different air densities. The higher the air density, the lower the MPH/KPH required to reach the speed of sound. At 15° C (59° F) the speed of sound is approximately 340.3 meters per second (761.23 MPH / 1225.1 KPH)
The 6 billion for the engine they spoke about was the cost of development not the unit cost. The more you make of something the unit cost tends to be lower.
Mach 1 is defined as 1x speed of sound, and speed of sound has different calculation formulas for different phrase of matter, for gases, speed of sound depends on temperature and adiabatic index (different gas could have different index). So, at 20 C, Mach 1 is roughly 343 m/s, or 1,235 km/h or 767 mph or 667 kn. higher altitude means lower temperature, and therefore the speed of sound will drop, at 30 km high, Mach 1 will drop to around 295 m/s due to termperature drops to around -50 C
I think you're getting your aircraft mixed up the F35. It's about fifteen years old And the f-22 raptor is twenty to twenty five And the raptors stopped production about ten years after Being officially a part of the air force
You need to check out the X-15 Rocket Plane. The fastest-winged manned aircraft ever. (4520 mph) The US learned about hypersonic flight and re-entry from low space with the X-15. The test pilots were later awarded astronaut wings. I don't know if the SR-72 is functional or still CGI. Working on it doesn't mean it exists.
It is the speed of sound which changes with air density. Mach 20 would be somewhere between 11000-15500 still not as fast as an object in space which is usually around 17500
Possibly a one off Experimental Prototype but no production line. For engine consider the Heremes Chimera TBCC just tested (2019)a working potential hypersonic motor.
Remember, the dark star has a two tier jet system where it can lower the speed and drop bombs and then increase speed to mock six. I’m sure they have that figured out.
Nope, your figure is high. Check your math again. The speed of sound is approximately 760mph (mach 1). Your math outs the speed of sound at more than 1,000mph.
No no no, the engine cost 6 Billion TO DEVELOP. As far as laser weapons, they cost a lot to build, and it takes a whole lot of energy to fire them. But, on the plus side, they are invisible, are faster. And are a whole hell of a lot Cheaper TO FIRE.🙂
All this talk about speed and cost and laser weapons means nothing if it can't kill a lot of people at one time. Does anyone know how many people it can kill with the laser weapon...?
If they're surprised to find out that rumors about this aircraft has been around since 2007, they'll blow their lid knowing that the most technologically advanced 5th gen fighter jet on earth, the F22 Raptor, was developed in 1991. It was in use 12 year prior to the Chinese getting a 5th generation fighter and 15 years sooner than the Russians having one.
Have you two watched any videos on the SR-71?? A SR-71 in 1990 flew from coast to coast in 68 minutes at 2,124 miles per hour. From Los Angles to Washington DC in 1 hour and 4 minutes. To answer your question from earlier is a Mach is 717 miles per hour. The Blackbird also set an altitude record at 85,068.997 feet. A pilot talking about flying one of these birds said they were so high they could see the curvature of the Earth. Here it is Major Brian Shul, LA Speed Story SR 71. Check it out... This is a funny story!!!
One thing about the US military we have technology that a lot of people don't know about and that's what keeps us on top in the world and they don't say everything about what it can do !
I'm in Canada and here we use a mixture of standard and metric scales, but officially we use the metric system, so in kilometers per hour, Mach 1 works out to 1234.8 kph.
Bruh, your girlfriend is so funny when giving her stats on how fast Mach speed is, she's hilarious and beautiful, she's a keeper. Great reaction by the way, hello from Brisbane, Australia
A university just developed a prototype for sustained supersonic engine….. And they said developing it further could result in a Commercial trip from L.A. to NYC in about 12minutes. That’s normally a 5-6 hour flight 😂
Well, it better damn well be "GREEN" and use batteries and be rechargeable or the left will snivel like a rat eating an onion and piss themselves again. Remember, they are democRATS.
Mach (speed of sound) varies by several factors, but is generally accepted as around 767 miles per hour at sea level. Altitude, temperature, and humidity change the speed of sound because they affect air density.
The Waverider is made with tungsten leading edges and comes back melted after mach 5 jaunts. Im sure that the insides of the Darkstar are titanium, not the outsides at the speed contemplated, however.
Anything our military release to the public and disclose is at least 30 years old and only being disclose because the rest of the worlds technology is advanced enough to disclose the tech. Lockheed ex CEO only did one interview after he retired and was asked what kind of technology does the United states military really have and he started laughing and simply replied "have you seen star wars? We been there and done that. If I told you what we really have you wouldn't believe me, I could show you and you still wouldn't believe me!" And that was in 1999. So do you really think and believe that this aircraft is new tech? I think knot this aircraft is only being revealed because it's out of date and old technology. The world isn't ready for what we really have!!!!
They retired the sr 71 about the time i went into the air force, right around 92. They told us, if the sr 71 was being retired then they had something better. I donf know if it was the stealth tech or that they were already developing this
at 20:25 they were saying the Engine cost 6 billion to develop...Thats after all the problems were solved, Development prices are always high, However once its perfected the prices will not include failures as its perfected and will be much cheaper to develop
This what I was going to say, glad I read through the comments first. You are exactly correct, "developmental costs" umbrella several financial aspects that lead up too and including the final product. 😊
The idea of shooting a missile from a conventional fighter is that the missile is significantly faster than the plane. What they are saying is that the Darkstar would be flying as fast or faster than the current missile technology allows for thus potentially catching the missile you just fired. If you dropped a bomb at Mach 6 you wouldn’t fly into it because it would fall behind you. It’s likely that the plane would have to significantly slow down to drop a bomb because the friction/heat at that speed would likely destroy a conventional bomb unless it was designed to be deployed at hypersonic speeds.
Mach = the speed of sound which varies depending on humidity, temperature,, wind, biometric pressure, etc. When people quote the exact MPH - that is an average. "A Mach number is the ratio of an object’s speed in a given medium to the speed of sound in that medium. Mach 1, then, is the speed of sound, around 761 mph at sea level on a standard day."
Mach implies the speed of sound. The speed of sound in the air is 346 meters per second. So in 1 hour sound travels 761 mph. Mac 20 means 761 multiplied by 20 which is 15220 miles per hour.
Darkstar is already up there and operating. Its code name was Aurorra, been in development since the mid 90's. There is a famous mark in the US budget for Aurorra which was quickly hushed and covered up.
The rule of thumb with US black project aircraft, is that when an aircraft is disclosed it's typically already in production, and an undisclosed replacement is at least in prototype.
What? The space shuttle bottom had ceramic tiles crudely glued to the bottom. One of the crashes was due to them coming off, and several missions were delayed by them coming off. Those tiles existed to permit atmospheric re-entry of an object not shaped like a rocket. They spread the heat all around the bottom equally, so the ship didn't burn up in re-entry.
Mach measurement is based upon the gas or fluid sound travels through. At sea level, there is one set average speed defined. At altitude there is another. Underwater it would be faster, based upon the way sound travels faster there.
F22 is currently going through an extensive upgrade program, they aren't going to stop flying anytime soon. When they do stop flying, they will almost certainly go into "type 1000" storage, where they will be kept in a climate-controlled storage in near-airworthy condition so that it can be put back into service at any time with minimal work needed to do so.
According to Leo AI from brave browser: Q: How fast is mach 6 in mph A: Mach 6 is a speed of 6 times the speed of sound. The speed of sound varies depending on the air density and temperature, but for our calculation, one Mach is equal to 761.207 mph. Calculating Mach 6 in mph To calculate Mach 6 in mph, we multiply the speed of sound by 6: 6 x 761.207 mph = 4,567.42 mph

@@betozun8850Actually the other guy is right, if you fire the bullet forward it will eventually degrade and drop below the path of the aircraft, even bullets on ww2 fighters did that, you wouldn’t fly into the bullet, the velocity of the bullet will degrade relative to the platform from which it was fired. this is elementary, watch the video about people diving into cruise ship pools.
I suppose if you fired the bullets then immediately went into s steep dive you might overtake the bullets before you rammed into the ground. 😊

It's common knowledge in the States, if they are showing you what is apparently "new", they are already working on something else. They tend to do this
A Mach number is the ratio of an object's speed to the speed of sound. Mach 1 is the Speed of Sound which is about 761 mph. So Mach 2 would be 2 x the speed of sound (1522 mph), Mach 3 is 3 x the speed of sound, etc.
Thanks for the explanation!
it also changes depending on altitude
As we increase speed beyond Mach 1, the relationship with the speed of sound is not linear. Instead of being proportional, it becomes exponential.
Mach 1 is equal to the speed of sound.
Mach 2 is not simply twice the speed of sound; it is faster due to the compressibility of air.
As we move toward Mach 3, Mach 4, and beyond, the relationship becomes increasingly complex and nonlinear.
Fun fact about the predecessor, SR-71, the interesting design for the fuel tanks meant that the aircraft would actually leak fuel when it was on the ground.
They specifically designed it like this because, at the time, we didn't have a way to seal the tanks with a material that would maintain a seal at both sea level and at its max ceiling height and cruise speed.
On the runway, it leaks. On takeoff, it leaks. When its flying, it doesnt.
Because of this, they used a special fuel specifically made for it, the fuel being designed to require an extremely high flashpoint temperature to avoid any possible accidental fires on the ground. Even the engines warming up and firing on the takeoff would not cause external fuel on the ground to ignite.
There was also a myth going around that the SR-71's airframe would actually stretch by over a foot while at max speed because of thermal expansion. This isn't true. Torrey Larsen (from Skunk Works) determined that, at most, it stretches less than 2 inches. Still crazy, but definitely not as much as a whole foot or more.
I'm so glad they finally announced this. As they said, there have been rumors for years. Very cool plane. And the Quarterhourse is exciting for a whole differnet reason. Return of the Concord, but without having to blow windows out everywhere it goes.
As F22's are "retired" they don't go to the scrapyard. They are covered in a protective coating and "mothballed" in the desert so that, if needed, they can be quickly returned to service. They can also be canabalized for spare parts to keep other aircraft flying.
When they were giving the different cost of the planes and projects, they were sometimes referring to overall development costs or sometimes like the B-2 Bomber per plane cost. Most of the time they were talking about development cost not per plane or jet engine.
There is a difference in development cost and actual per unit cost. The former is the design phase cost, THEN you have build cost which is much lower.
The speed of sound varies with temperature which is why it is a higher number at altitude or in the winter.
Mechanical Engineer who has worked in the defence industry. The Mach Number is defined by the ratio of speed divided by the speed of sound of the fluid. M=V/a where: M=Mach number V=Velocity and a=speed of sound of the fluid. a can be calculated as the square root of the Gamma x R x Temperature. For air its about 340 to 360 metres per second. For a different fluid for example water at room temperature, the speed of sound is around 1400 metres per second. For our conversation we will stick with air. So when the velocity V = 360 m/s and a = 360 m/s then M=360/360=1, hence Mach 1. The Mach number does not have units as both V and a have units of m/s and they cancle each other out. hope that helps
At 20 °C (68 °F), the speed of sound in air is about 343 m/s (1,125 ft/s; 1,235 km/h; 767 mph.
Does altitude matter?
@@SavageHeliosOne Yes, altitude can affect the speed of sound. Sound generally travels more slowly at higher altitudes because the air is colder and less dense. At sea level, sound travels at about 760 miles per hour, but at 30,000 feet it's closer to 670 miles per hour. This decrease in speed with altitude is called a negative sound speed gradient.
The camera equipment in the SR71 was so advanced it could snap a photo of a penny on the ground from 70k feet and you could see the date. 1 million per photo.
Mach 6 (of sound at sea level) is 7413.12 kph.
Mach 6 equals out to be 4603mph
Yes & that's hypersonic!👍✌️

@yomamayosista Bull... attacking the mainland United States is a logistical nightmare. Did you honestly compare the Ukraine to the USA military? Russia allied themselves with China for a reason. If both nations fought without nukes, the United States would crush Russia. Russia is no longer a super power.
mach 1 = 767.269 MPH = 1234.799762 KPH
mach 6 = 4603.61 MPH = 7408.792132 KPH
what they where talking about at 6 billion for the engine was just the development costs not the production costs
most likely if they can sell enuf of them the cost will likely be around 1 million for each engine
Have to listen to this SR 71 story. Classic: LA SPEED STORY - SR-71 Pilot Brian Shul USAF (Ret.)
The sr72 had some satelite pictures taken a while back. I would suggest researching skunk works.
Very proud of my youngest son. He went to school. (I told him to). And now he works in tech. And one of the biggest in science and tech experiments of military knowledge. Using vastly advanced intelligence. It’s new tech. Clever boy. He is my son ❤
listen to the LA speed test story about the SR71, its hilarious
That was
Mach 1 at sea level is around 700 MPH. The air at low altitude is too dense for max speed, Sound waves propagate faster at higher densities. In general, the denser the medium the faster sound propagates through it. The speed of sound in water is around 1300 FPS, in bone it goes up astronomically.
I spent many years working with sound physics.
Sound travels at sound travels through air at 343 meters per second (m/s), or 1 kilometer in 2.91 seconds. This is Mach 1. The SR 71 traveled at 3.2 times the speed of sound. DarkStar is claimed to fly 6 times the speed of sound. Since Hypersonic is mach 5, the Dark Star travels faster than hyper speed. Pilots can pass out at around 3Gs. I wonder how many G-forces are created at Mach 6. G-forces accounts for how many times your own weight
While station at 29 MAGCC during the early 90s. We started getting a sonic boom every morning at 0600. look up and you'll see a streak go across the at amazing speeds. Couldn't even see the aircraft, just the contrails. Being in Air defense, I was taught about all aircrafts , by different militaries around the world, but not about this one. The Obsprey was a prototype in 1989.
Remember In The USA Military All Top Secret Technology is Always at-least 60 years ahead/ advance.
What Ever is Unclassified is already old technology.
I wouldn't call it "old". Just because you have one or even a few super advanced craft means nothing if you can't utilize logistics to properly field them (see Russia's SU-57). Prototyping, testing, and future-proofing a design is just 1/3rd of the process. Second is contracting manufacturers to make the prototype at scale. Then you have to test the production models to ensure they're on par with the prototype (or even improve the design further). Then they have to be integrated into US battle doctrine. Then pilots have to be trained to not only use it but push the craft to its full capabilities.
And the capabilities are then compared with rival peer state equivalents, if they exist. The F-22, as an example, is still "new" by world standards because there is no comparison in any other nation's inventory that has the same numbers as the F-22 (187 in US so far) and any craft that are close are still not as effective or advanced as the F-22 (there is a reason the US doesn't sell them to any allies). The Darkstar might as well be a UFO from another planet to nations like China and Russia, they have nothing remotely close.
What's scary is what we have that no one knows about that is waiting to be scaled into production.
It's interesting that there is probably an entire treasure trove of futuristic gear, systems, and craft that are just gathering dust at Skunkworks because we didn't have the infrastructure or resources to scale up production.
I mean there is credible people including the guy that ran the uav department that has confirmed that the us government has in possession crashed alien spacecraft
@@PenTheMightydoes our government even know about it? It’s crazy how steep US military tech secrecy goes.
@@PenTheMighty all things the US doesnt have issues with. Maybe Russia and the rest of the world. Just like the F-22 raptor, thing is 20 years old and still the best jet in the sky(granted they just did some updates to it).
@@Jamezy316 The raptor is such a great dog fighter, we cut the order short, because pilots were going 1 v 10 vs the F-15, which itself never lost a fight. You don't need very many, when they are that much better than what the other guy has.
A Mach number changes at different altitudes. But generally, Mach 1 is about 710mph.
Watch both Top Guns together.
I wore my Top Gun T-Shirt today 😂
The speed of sound (Mach 1). For objects traveling in dry air of a temperature of 20 °C (68 °F) at sea level, this speed is approximately 343.2 m/s (1,126 ft/s; 768 mph; 667.1 kn; 1,236 km/h).
Another reason the SR 71 carried to weapons was because it's not practical to fire a weapon if the plane can outrun it's own munitions. Also, the likelihood was high that the SR 71 would run into its own bullets or missiles, if they did use them, since we didn't have have missiles fast enough.
There was a fighter variant built, but as far as we know, it wasn't used much.
The new top gun movie 'Maverick' has the new ZR 72 in it.
Your watching a video with old information.
We already are using it.
And it is hotting Mach 10+
Mach 20 is 15345.38 MPH or 24696 KPH. Meaning that this aircraft could reach anywhere on the planet in less than 1 hours time since the earth is only 16,000 miles in diameter. So essentially, this aircraft could take off and land at the same airbase it left from in 1 hour and 4 minutes time after traveling around the entire planet.
The Earths diameter is just over 7,000 miles, It's circumference is just over 24,000. Still reachable to go anywhere within that time frame, just depends on which direction you go
@@eddiebeaty8150correct
Speed of sound also changes with the medium. In water vs sea level vs at 80,000 feet where you can go Mach 20. So it adds some extra distance to fly fast at 80,000 feet. around the earth.
The newly reworked F22 raptor is still one of my favorite military aircraft.... and i love the A-10 warthog.
9:39 mach 1 767.269 miles per hour mach 20 15345.383 miles per hour
Writing the speed out to 3 decimal places is hilarious. Just so you know it's not necessary or even correct to express the speed like that. 770 mph is perfectly acceptable and the common approach.
I appreciate the details.
Thank you. 👍
1 mach is point break of sound barrier. When you reach the speed of sound and break that barrier, you've reached Mach 1 = 761 mph.
The blackbird sr71 was faster then time. It took off from NY at 1:00 p.m. it landed in California LA at 11:23 a.m. same day

😂😂😂😂😂😂
have you been living under a rock since the stolen election in 2020 and 2022???
FYI, Mach is the speed of sound and is not a set value as the speed of sound varies at different air densities. The higher the air density, the lower the MPH/KPH required to reach the speed of sound. At 15° C (59° F) the speed of sound is approximately 340.3 meters per second (761.23 MPH / 1225.1 KPH)
Development cost more than manufacturing cost. That $6 billion dollar engine is the development cost.
In the voice of Dr. Evil "Unbeatable except by a Laser, a Laser mounted on a Shark"😂😆😂
The 6 billion for the engine they spoke about was the cost of development not the unit cost. The more you make of something the unit cost tends to be lower.
Mach 1 is defined as 1x speed of sound, and speed of sound has different calculation formulas for different phrase of matter, for gases, speed of sound depends on temperature and adiabatic index (different gas could have different index). So, at 20 C, Mach 1 is roughly 343 m/s, or 1,235 km/h or 767 mph or 667 kn. higher altitude means lower temperature, and therefore the speed of sound will drop, at 30 km high, Mach 1 will drop to around 295 m/s due to termperature drops to around -50 C
Guys this was probably in the stock since late 90's the f-35 raptor bout 30-40 years old
I think you're getting your aircraft mixed up the F35.
It's about fifteen years old And the f-22 raptor is twenty to twenty five And the raptors stopped production about ten years after Being officially a part of the air force
Yes my mistake.i do enjoy your videos.peace n God bless
mach 1 is equal to the speed of sound which is roughly 767 miles per hour ( and YES we use miles per hour in the states)
You need to check out the X-15 Rocket Plane. The fastest-winged manned aircraft ever. (4520 mph) The US learned about hypersonic flight and re-entry from low space with the X-15. The test pilots were later awarded astronaut wings. I don't know if the SR-72 is functional or still CGI. Working on it doesn't mean it exists.
By the time we hear about a new "airplane" they are already in the process of designing/building the next generation.
The x 15 was more of a rocket than a plane...it def was amazing...
It is the speed of sound which changes with air density. Mach 20 would be somewhere between 11000-15500 still not as fast as an object in space which is usually around 17500
Mach 1 is approximately 767.66 mph.
Possibly a one off Experimental Prototype but no production line.
For engine consider the Heremes Chimera TBCC just tested (2019)a working potential hypersonic motor.
Nothing is as sexy as the SR-71 ;-) Mach 20 lets you go into orbit.
Remember, the dark star has a two tier jet system where it can lower the speed and drop bombs and then increase speed to mock six. I’m sure they have that figured out.
Yes Mach 6 is going at a speed faster than 6300 miles per hour. That's insane!
Hypersonic👍✌️
Nope, your figure is high. Check your math again. The speed of sound is approximately 760mph (mach 1).
Your math outs the speed of sound at more than 1,000mph.
@@freedomseeds4713 I appreciate the correction. I was quite off. 😊👍🏻

No no no, the engine cost 6 Billion TO DEVELOP. As far as laser weapons, they cost a lot to build, and it takes a whole lot of energy to fire them. But, on the plus side, they are invisible, are faster. And are a whole hell of a lot Cheaper TO FIRE.🙂
It will be great if they can move fro. Combustion fuel to electric . A mini nuclear power plant. It would be very dangerous
All this talk about speed and cost and laser weapons means nothing if it can't kill a lot of people at one time. Does anyone know how many people it can kill with the laser weapon...?
The speed in miles per hour is equal to the Mach number multiplied by 767.269148.
Top gun 2 is a must watch
A Mach is around 782 miles per second. It can be slower or faster depending on conditions.
If they're surprised to find out that rumors about this aircraft has been around since 2007, they'll blow their lid knowing that the most technologically advanced 5th gen fighter jet on earth, the F22 Raptor, was developed in 1991. It was in use 12 year prior to the Chinese getting a 5th generation fighter and 15 years sooner than the Russians having one.
Have you two watched any videos on the SR-71?? A SR-71 in 1990 flew from coast to coast in 68 minutes at 2,124 miles per hour. From Los Angles to Washington DC in 1 hour and 4 minutes. To answer your question from earlier is a Mach is 717 miles per hour. The Blackbird also set an altitude record at 85,068.997 feet. A pilot talking about flying one of these birds said they were so high they could see the curvature of the Earth. Here it is Major Brian Shul, LA Speed Story SR 71. Check it out... This is a funny story!!!
If yall follow up on my suggestion to react to the movie Top Gun: Maverick, yall will see this plane, or at least the concept of it, in action

One thing about the US military we have technology that a lot of people don't know about and that's what keeps us on top in the world and they don't say everything about what it can do !
Can't be jammed vs GPS navigation. Uses the stars to guide it.
not even that. gps jamming is rather limited range wise given its speed it wouldnt be inside any jammers range very long so would just require gps
I'm in Canada and here we use a mixture of standard and metric scales, but officially we use the metric system, so in kilometers per hour, Mach 1 works out to 1234.8 kph.

Well, it better damn well be "GREEN" and use batteries and be rechargeable or the left will snivel like a rat eating an onion and piss themselves again. Remember, they are democRATS.
Mach (speed of sound) varies by several factors, but is generally accepted as around 767 miles per hour at sea level. Altitude, temperature, and humidity change the speed of sound because they affect air density.
They were building this Air Craft at area -51 where people was dying building this Air Craft and so secret.
The Waverider is made with tungsten leading edges and comes back melted after mach 5 jaunts. Im sure that the insides of the Darkstar are titanium, not the outsides at the speed contemplated, however.
Anything our military release to the public and disclose is at least 30 years old and only being disclose because the rest of the worlds technology is advanced enough to disclose the tech. Lockheed ex CEO only did one interview after he retired and was asked what kind of technology does the United states military really have and he started laughing and simply replied "have you seen star wars? We been there and done that. If I told you what we really have you wouldn't believe me, I could show you and you still wouldn't believe me!" And that was in 1999. So do you really think and believe that this aircraft is new tech? I think knot this aircraft is only being revealed because it's out of date and old technology. The world isn't ready for what we really have!!!!
Nah, I don’t think the b2 was operational in Vietnam.
They retired the sr 71 about the time i went into the air force, right around 92. They told us, if the sr 71 was being retired then they had something better. I donf know if it was the stealth tech or that they were already developing this
at 20:25 they were saying the Engine cost 6 billion to develop...Thats after all the problems were solved, Development prices are always high, However once its perfected the prices will not include failures as its perfected and will be much cheaper to develop
This what I was going to say, glad I read through the comments first. You are exactly correct, "developmental costs" umbrella several financial aspects that lead up too and including the final product. 😊
The idea of shooting a missile from a conventional fighter is that the missile is significantly faster than the plane.
What they are saying is that the Darkstar would be flying as fast or faster than the current missile technology allows for thus potentially catching the missile you just fired.
If you dropped a bomb at Mach 6 you wouldn’t fly into it because it would fall behind you. It’s likely that the plane would have to significantly slow down to drop a bomb because the friction/heat at that speed would likely destroy a conventional bomb unless it was designed to be deployed at hypersonic speeds.
the speed of sound is 700 miles per hour in the u.s. and mach 1 is roughly 767 mph U.S. over 1300 kilometers per hour
Mach 1 is the speed of sound, 767. Mach 20 would be 15,340 mph.
Mach = the speed of sound which varies depending on humidity, temperature,, wind, biometric pressure, etc. When people quote the exact MPH - that is an average.
"A Mach number is the ratio of an object’s speed in a given medium to the speed of sound in that medium.
Mach 1, then, is the speed of sound, around 761 mph at sea level on a standard day."
I watched the last landing of a SR71 Blackbird. It currently sits at Birmingham Flight Museum . It was AWESOME.💯
Mach implies the speed of sound. The speed of sound in the air is 346 meters per second. So in 1 hour sound travels 761 mph. Mac 20 means 761 multiplied by 20 which is 15220 miles per hour.
Mach is the speed of sound & almost 800 miles per hour (& slightly varies at different altitudes)
Darkstar is already up there and operating. Its code name was Aurorra, been in development since the mid 90's. There is a famous mark in the US budget for Aurorra which was quickly hushed and covered up.
The rule of thumb with US black project aircraft, is that when an aircraft is disclosed it's typically already in production, and an undisclosed replacement is at least in prototype.
depends on altitude, speed of sound is MACH.
That airfield in the Everglades is 19 miles from my house. I’ve seen some things👀And some stuff man! lol
You know the black scales on the bottom of the space shuttle is the material the plane is made from.
What? The space shuttle bottom had ceramic tiles crudely glued to the bottom. One of the crashes was due to them coming off, and several missions were delayed by them coming off. Those tiles existed to permit atmospheric re-entry of an object not shaped like a rocket. They spread the heat all around the bottom equally, so the ship didn't burn up in re-entry.
Just side note the B-52 is not scheduled for retirement until it is 100 years old
The B 2 spirit is the only combat plane that has a bathroom and a way to cook something to eat. Amazing.
no its not? One example, the AC-130 has the same ability
Mach measurement is based upon the gas or fluid sound travels through.
At sea level, there is one set average speed defined. At altitude there is another.
Underwater it would be faster, based upon the way sound travels faster there.
9:51 761mph per Mach
F22 is currently going through an extensive upgrade program, they aren't going to stop flying anytime soon. When they do stop flying, they will almost certainly go into "type 1000" storage, where they will be kept in a climate-controlled storage in near-airworthy condition so that it can be put back into service at any time with minimal work needed to do so.
One Mach is the speed of sound... basically (760 Miles per hour)

According to Leo AI from brave browser: Q: How fast is mach 6 in mph
A: Mach 6 is a speed of 6 times the speed of sound. The speed of sound varies depending on the air density and temperature, but for our calculation, one Mach is equal to 761.207 mph.
Calculating Mach 6 in mph
To calculate Mach 6 in mph, we multiply the speed of sound by 6:
6 x 761.207 mph = 4,567.42 mph
