Guys, a simple question for you

what makes me snicker is the title of this thread.
no way people here could ever treat anything as a simple question

yeah theres a story i love about Conc, a captain put his hat between 2 bulkheads for storage during the flight, he went to get it after landing and couldn't as it'd shrank back and closed the gap, he had to wait till the return flight to collect his now flat cap... as for aurora, well speculation it may be but there is no stopgap between the SR-71 and satellites... aurora if it exists would be that stopgap.... at one point i was even working on my own manned HSRA (High Speed Reconaissance Aircraft), had the fuselage and fins done but it never progressed... heres a few pics of when i was working on it...

exactly what i heard Skippy... space shuttles retiring pretty soon as well, and russias 'Buran' (Snowstorm) was retired a long time back... might jump back on my 'SR-71 Fictional Replacement' start from scratch and have no canopy glass just a forward looking camera, although the glass might be good on it...

The same deal as with Concorde....though the SR went a lil faster ;) :)
Click to expand...

Yes a little faster, but then it didn't have 100 passenger seats with wine and food service for the passengers in their Sunday best and didn't leak like a sieve on the ramp ;) :)

Both awesome aircraft that are sadly missing from the skies
