The United States conducted the first trials of the prototype unmanned hypersonic aircraft SR-72 which is used for applying a global impact.
It is noted that the first flight of the prototype SR-72 was held in late July at the airport the 42-th repair plant of the U.S. air force in Palmdale, California. The drone during the flight was accompanied by two training aircraft T-38 Talon.
Executive Vice President, Aeronautics of Lockheed Martin’s Orlando Carvalho during the exhibition WCX: SAE World Congress Experience on the military base in Texas stated that the division of the company that developed the mentioned machine — doubled the resources allocated to the hypersonic project.
“I think the United States is on the verge of a hypersonic revolution,” he said.
The basis of the power plant SR-72 will be a turbojet engine capable of accelerating the machine faster 1.5-2 Mach numbers. At this rate will be included supersonic ramjet engine, which will accelerate the machine up to an incredible six Mach numbers of about 6400 km/h. called Hypersonic speed, which is more than five Mach numbers.
Also, the media noted that at the present time are considered 2 variants of the aircraft — manned and unmanned. Each of them will be able to carry the complex offensive weapons. A weapon that can be used with aircraft SR-72, Lockheed Martin plans to demonstrate in 2018.
The main task of the SR-72 call providing US the necessary intelligence information, and the increase in the military forces of the state.
In addition, there is 4 important qualities mentioned plane. The first high quality data, who will receive intelligence. The second ultra high-speed SR-72 will allow him to move at lightning speed in the area of intelligence and real-time broadcast operator collected data. The third important point is that the enemy will be extremely difficult to intercept the SR-72, even if he will be able to detect it. And the fourth is a drone will save people from having to risk their lives and make decisions in an environment with ultra-fast speeds.
