US Air Force Declared SR-72 DARKSTAR Is REAL!

Key Points and Summary: The SR-72 Darkstar, also known as the “Son of Blackbird,” is Lockheed Martin’s next-generation hypersonic aircraft designed to succeed the SR-71. Capable of cruising at Mach 6, it promises to revolutionize reconnaissance and strike missions by leveraging speed over stealth.


-Powered by turbine-based combined cycle engines, the SR-72 can operate in highly contested environments with minimal risk of interception. However, evolving missile defenses may challenge its dominance by the time of its expected service entry in 2030. Top Speed 3600 miles per hour

Denali, officially known as Mt McKinley, is the highest mountain peak in North America, with a summit elevation of 20,130 feet. It is one of the tallest mountains in the world. It became a subject of dispute in 1975, when the Alaska Legislature asked the U.S. federal government to officially change its name from Mount McKinley to Denali. In 1896, Mt McKinley had been named to commemorate William McKinley, who was President of the Unites States from 1897 until his assassination in 1901. On January 20,2025, during his inauguration speech, President Trump pledged to reverse the name change of the mountain, and signed an executive order directing the same. On January 23, 2025, the Department of the Interior changed the mountain's official name back to Mt McKinley.
