Very good post and thread, thank you.

Makes me wonder what how much more advanced the SR-72 must be, if, uh....if it exists.

It’s probably set up to run with ethanol.

It would likely have a different designation anyway.

There were unconfirmed reports about the SR-72 dating back to 2007, when various sources disclosed that Lockheed Martin was developing an airplane able to fly six times the speed of sound or Mach 6 (4,000 mph; 6,400 km/h; 3,500 kn) for the United States Air Force.[ Lockheed Martin Skunk Works’ development work on the SR-72 was first published by Aviation Week & Space Technology on 1 November 2013.Public attention to the news was large enough to overwhelm the Aviation Week servers.

With what the X-37B space plane can do, and its multi-year endurance on-orbit, there’s no real need for an ultra expensive air-breathing manned vehicle.
