    If the SR-75 is real, then Virgin Galactic really sucks.

      It isn't real.
      Edit: I should specify - the *PROJECT* was a real project; but it never led to any actual flying prototypes; the furthest it got was wind tunnel, radar range static targets, and completely non-flyable ground mockups, not even a sub scale flying demonstrator was made.

    The SR-75 might have replaced the SR-71 and the Aurora program was a cover for the funding it needed to operate.
    The SR-75 might now be getting replaced without ever having it's existence reviled.

    If the Aurora prototype is real then the craft is not a viable option in 2024 as the acoustic shockwaves that are emitted from the pulse detonation engine form a unique drive signature that would be easily detected by a sophisticated adversary.

      by the same logic every other military aircraft is also unviable.
      there's a way to detect these things without acoustics ( world war 1 technology ) and it began development in the interwar period, its name is "radar" and it's proven much more efficient.
      keep in mind loud craft like rockets aren't detected through acoustics either.

    • @hvmanara
      @hvmanara 8 วันที่ผ่านมา

      @@spazzey0 It is a given that almost all conventional U.S. military aircraft, with a handful of exceptions, are detectable on radar systems that most adversaries already posses. Of course that does not make them unviable. Thats not the point.
      The point is that the "stealth" features which could have been a major selling point that proved crucial in securing a size-able chunk of taxpayer funds within a congressional defense budget authorization, are in reality completely unnecessary and redundant for this supposed prototype given its acoustic signature and unique exhaust trail.
      Do taxpayers get a refund when private aerospace and defense contractors fail to deliver a viable working project that costs billions of dollars? And if this project doesn't actually exist, who is held accountable for not doing a cost- benefit analysis and allowing taxpayer money to be wasted on what is essentially vaporware?
      In an age of surface-to-air hypersonic ballistics, algorithmic neural nets, and automated targeting platforms, whatever advantage this aircraft may have provided on paper in the past has essentially been nullified.

    • @afrank1
      @afrank1 7 วันที่ผ่านมา +5

      Since it would move 5-6 times faster than sound, the sound would not reach sensors on the ground until the aircraft had gone a distance of 5-6 times its altitude. So sound could be used to detect it, but only once it was already gone.

    With stealth from radar, the assumption is that the transmitter and receiver for the radar are in the same location. Even during the mid 90's, there was research into detecting stealth aircraft by not having the radio source and detectors at the same location. Of ten this was by passive radar, one approach used commercial cell phone towers as the signal sources and monitored the deflected reflections, another was to from overhead, detect the instructions of such commercial radio sources. Conceivably with low latency networks and time synchronizations, the radio waves emitted by one radar installation could be picked up by another radar installation hence deflecting the radio waves away from the first radar station would be pointless. Strategies against radar stealth showed up very early on, so the current value of radar stealth may not be as great as one would otherwise assume and that might be why so many stealth programs gets axed.

    I've seen that type of contrail twice in the early 2000's. Both times I never saw the craft as it was too high but it went from west to east in seconds over South Florida. Horizon to Horizon. No sound either since it was so high. I always assumed it was the newest spy plane in the Air Force inventory. What attracted my attention to the contrail was it's shape with the puffs and the speed in which the contrail developed.

      While this is true, it seems likely that anything with a similar engine at that time in the black projects world would be at least related - like SR-71, YF-12 and A-12 were. Though I suspect it more likely to be the same project.

    Nice video but I'm not sure this actually happened. The successor to the SR71 is the SR72. It goes over Mach 6 and is made of carbon, carbon materials that resist heat better than tungsten steel. The SR 72 is plenty capable and can perform any job we need it to. Mach 10 or 15 is not realistic and can't be managed yet .The SR 75 may come in the future but if it exists the U.S. isn't using it yet. The SR 72 can actually attack targets with a variety of ordinance. Hence it's advantage over satellites.

    • @bmobert
      @bmobert 8 วันที่ผ่านมา

      I can see what your saying.
      I dissagree, however.
      V-1 and other pulse jets use subsonic burning (deflagratiom) but a pulse detonation wave engine uses supersonic burning (detonation). It may seem like a difference of semantics butnits an engineering nightmare.
      The only similarity is the pulsation. To which I would argue that Orion Project also pulsed its engines. I doubt anyone would seriously equate the two.
      👍

    • @thekraken1173
      @thekraken1173 8 วันที่ผ่านมา

      The noise itself isn’t that really big of a problem. However pulse detonation engines cause supersonic shockwaves, so anyone standing near the engine has a risk of death. Whole runway should be cleared from ground crews for a safe takeoff. Also, pulse detonation engines thrust in pulses. This puts non constant uneven force on the parts. Parts would need to be constantly changed.

      I hadn't understood that, but, yes, if course that would be true.
      Of course, that assumes you don't use multe-cycle engines.
      That was one of the touted advantages of a PDE: No other engine cycle required, theoretically.
      I remember reading about the PDE aircraft for the first time in Wired mag near the millennial turn and being fascinated. After all this time, this is the first I've considered the ground crew.
