The new hypersonic aircraft that beat SR-72 is under development.


When people talk about the aircraft projects like "DarkStar", we must realize one thing. The same aircraft project might have different names. The reason for that is the name that leak to the public uncovers the leaker. 

So each project group might have a different codename for the project. And that's why the name of the SR-72 could be "DarkStar". The name "DarkStar" is given to one high-altitude test drone (Lockheed RQ-3 DarkStar) and one stealth satellite study project. 


Locheed-Martin RQ-3 "DarkStar". 

The next-generation hypersonic aircraft are under development in some military facilities. Those systems should be more capable. And more powerful. And especially. Far more advanced than the old-fashion super- and hypersonic aircraft and missiles. This type of system is capable of reconnaissance, attack, and fighter missions. 

Hypersonic aircraft can make the so-called ballistic jump. And it can use to shoot down low-earth orbiting satellites.

Miniature satellites can carry with same boosters. That is used in ASAT missiles. Hypersonic aircraft give more capacity for ASAT and miniature satellite carriers than F-15. 

But hypersonic aircraft can also use in suborbital missions. In suborbital missions, it can use to carry miniature space shuttles like X-37B outside the atmosphere. In some mission profiles, the hypersonic aircraft pulls the miniature shuttle behind it.



The same way the miniature shuttle can pull the satellite launch capsule behind it. In that case, the miniature satellite carrier will pull outside the atmosphere and then the system can make miniature satellites rise higher than they rise otherwise. 

So the system uses the ballistic or parabolic trajectory. And when the hypersonic aircraft is at the top point of the ballistic trajectory it releases a miniature shuttle or winged satellite carrier. 

Then those shuttles can rise a little bit higher using their main engines. One of the missions of those small shuttles can be orbital recon missions. The miniature shuttle can take images and observe the satellites. But those shuttles can be perfect for ASAT (Anti-Satellite) and ABM (Anti-ballistic missile) roles.

Use virtual "perpetual motion machines" and seawater as energy sources.

   Use virtual "perpetual motion machines"  and seawater as energy sources.  The Archimedean screw can offer almost endless energy sources.  "Robert Fludd's 1618 "water screw" perpetual motion machine from a 1660 wood engraving. It is widely credited as the first attempt to describe such a device." (Wikipedia/Perpetual motion) The term "virtual perpetual motion machine" means a machine. That pulls water to the upper tank using a capillary tube. Then that water will fall through the generator or turbine wheel. The machine uses differences in pressure levels. But it looks like a "perpetual motion machine", that is impossible because of laws of thermodynamics.  The machine uses differences in pressure levels. But it looks like a " real perpetual motion machine", which is impossible because of the laws of thermodynamics.  The real perpetual motion machines don't use outside energy. And that's why they are not possible.

Metamaterials can change their properties in an electric- or electro-optical field.

"Researchers have created a novel metamaterial that can dynamically tune its shape and properties in real-time, offering unprecedented adaptability for applications in robotics and smart materials. This development bridges the gap between current materials and the adaptability seen in nature, paving the way for the future of adaptive technologies. Credit: UNIST" (ScitechDaily, Metamaterial Magic: Scientists Develop New Material That Can Dynamically Tune Its Shape and Mechanical Properties in Real-Time) Metamaterials can change their properties in an electric- or electro-optical field.  An electro-optical activator can also be an IR state, which means. The metamorphosis in the material can thermally activate.  AI is the ultimate tool for metamaterial research. Metamaterials are nanotechnical- or quantum technical tools that can change their properties, like reflection or state from solid to liquid when the electric or optical effect hits that material. The metamaterial can cru

There might be an answer to why there is a gravitational hole in Earth's gravitational field.

The gravitational field at the point of the Indian Ocean is weaker than in other places on Earth. The existence of that gravitational hole is proved. But the reason why that gravitational hole is formed is unknown. The reason why the gravitational field on the Indian Ocean is weaker might be a simple thing.  There is a possible lighter rock in the mantle, or there is less material at that point. In some wildest theories, there are bubbles in magma that turn below the bottom of the Indian Ocean are less massive than in other places on Earth. The lighter material at that point should make the hole in gravitation.  "Geoid undulation in false color.
