The variety of highly classified "black world" aircraft has prompted
|
|
industry experts to suggest that the term "Aurora," which has been used in
|
|
reference to a purported new classified hypersonic aircraft, may be
|
|
inappropriate. Instead, Aurora may be one of several code names, all
|
|
referring to a class of aircraft designed for multiple missions.
|
|
|
|
A line item identified as "Aurora" in a Fiscal 1986 Procurement Program
|
|
document dated Feb. 4, 1985, supposedly was simply one "site" for B-2 bomber
|
|
funds when that program was highly classified, according to a government
|
|
official. Listed under the "Other Aircraft" category, "Aurora" was projected
|
|
to receive sharply increased funding. The Fiscal 1986 budget request for
|
|
Aurora - $80.1 million - jumped to $2.272 billion in Fiscal 1987, according
|
|
to the document.
|
|
|
|
...Several of the secret aircraft believed to be based in Nevada may be
|
|
experimental or prototypes. At least one type has advanced to the production
|
|
and deployment phases, and may be capable of hypersonic flight, according to
|
|
officials who have been closely associated with classified programs at
|
|
several Nevada test sites in recent years. One senior official said, "We
|
|
don't really do anything strictly for experimental reasons. There's usually
|
|
an operational twist." Several of these people had hands-on experience with a
|
|
number of the classified vehicles.
|
|
|
|
Although prevented from discussing specific projects, these individuals
|
|
said, "There are bigger and better things out there," referring to aircraft
|
|
based at the Nevada test locations...
