Every aviation nut really hopes the US military has something so advance the SR-71 is slow by comparison. One of our customers was a SR-71 pilot and had to get special permission from the Air Force for his son to take a photo of him taking off on his last mission.
He said it they were cooking along fast he could not touch the dash area close to the skin of the SR-71 as it was so hot it would burn him through the gloves. The overall length of the SR-71 would grow several inches when hot.
I just find it hard to believe anything can move through the air so fast that in can go cross country in 30 minutes. The laws of physics are laws that can't be broken.
I honestly hope we have aircraft of that performance. Maybe they have tiles like the space shuttle did to withstand the heat of moving through the air. I really hope we have those aircraft.
