There may be an F22 sized demonstrator article and the full development article may be larger.

You are correct... funny because my best friends dad worked in the 71... uprooted his whole family and moved them to Lancaster to work at Edwards for a year or two and then they returned. His dad refused to say a word about what he had worked on. This is back when boys built models, being boys we build hot rods, battleships, and fighter jets... my friend brought home a model of the SR-71 to build and his dad snatched it out of his hands and locked it up!
I think it was the 80's before his dad hung a picture of the SR-71 with signatures (I presume all the people who worked on it)
