In December 2014, NASA awarded Lockheed Martin a contract to study the feasibility of building the SR-72's propulsion system using existing turbine-engine technologies, The $892,292 (~$1.13 million in 2023) contract funded a design study to determine the viability of a TBCC propulsion system by combining one of several current turbine engines, with a very low Mach ignition Dual Mode Ramjet (DMRJ).
The RQ-3 DarkStar (known as Tier III-or "Tier three minus" during development) is an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). Its first flight was on March 29, 1996. Its first flight was on March 29, 1996. The Department of Defense terminated DarkStar in January 1999, after determining the UAV was not aerodynamically stable and was not meeting cost and ...
It sure looks like Darkstar, Lockheed Martin's secret high-speed jet, is real. The long-rumored SR-71 successor last seen in Top Gun: Maverick may be legit.
Additionally, the X-22 was to provide more insight into the tactical application of vertical takeoff troop transporters such as the preceding Hiller X-18 and the X-22's successor, the Bell XV-15. Another program requirement was a true airspeed in level flight of at least 525 km/h (326 mph; 283 knots).
Journalists have noted design similarities between the RQ-170 and previous stealth and UAV programs such as the Lockheed Martin RQ-3 DarkStar and Polecat. [3] [4] An Air Force official said, "It's the same concept as [the RQ-3] DarkStar, it's stealthy, and it uses the same apertures and data links, only it's bigger."
Darkstar (Laynia Petrovna) is a character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. Created by Tony Isabella and George Tuska, the character first appeared in The Champions #7 (August 1976). [1] Darkstar belongs to the subspecies of humans called mutants, who are born with superhuman abilities. [2]
The resulting X-44A (although apparently unrelated to the previously developed X-44 MANTA) was built in 1999 and first flew in 2001, [1] representing an interim design between the Darkstar and P-175 Polecat. However, Lockheed Martin kept the X-44A under wraps until February 2018. [1] [2] [3] The X-44A successfully tested multiple technologies.
