Its a very great news we are now in 21 century, its time for a new kind of plane to run. Skunk works and Phantom works is the dream team to produce the Blackswift. Its time to go hypersonic, its the futur for aeronuatics, subsonic is the past. This two firm will make a very big plane good luck Blackswift.

Wouldn’t it be more cost effective to just upgrade and produce more b-1b’s and b-2’s? At the rate we are going we will end up with just 2 of these hypersonic bombers. It seems that in the 90’s we decided we don’t want to upgrade aircraft anymore just replace them. b-1b with an upgraded engines say the engines from the raptor, and upgraded generators for a cruise missile launch pad and b-2’s with whatever necessary upgrades for penetration makes a whole lot more sense. Do they have no confidence in their current bombers that were just produced a relative short time ago?

Let me go into my “Generation Kill” Captain America “Spazz Attack” mode:
Great,just great!!!! Didn’t it occur that there are Chinese cyber spies running around & we just tipped them off to a new weapon system which is supposed to be TOP SECRET????!!!!! People could die here,you know!!!!! I’m very sure that Chinese cyber spies read blogs like this trying to find out new secrets & we just handed it to them on a silver platter. Let’s just give them more secrets why don’t we. Everytime we discuss a weapon system,we’re leaking information to the enemy. We need to DENY the enemy,not help them at every corner!!!!
Captain America spazz over.By the way,I’m being sarcastic as hell.

The X-33 was to have rocket engines & it was to take off and land the same as the space shuttle does today.
as for the article, Part of me thinks its cool…the other part of me think…What Took So Long?!
this thing sounds like its going to operate the SAME way as the BlackBird, except it can go mach 6 instead of mach 3.3.

No, this isn’t quite the first time. Back in the early 90s, they teamed together for the A/F-X program.

Flight had a good article on it back in ’94.
