SECRET US AIRPLANE FLIES 5,280 MPH
|
|
BRITISH MILITARY-AFFAIRS JOURNAL SAYS
|
|
|
|
London--
|
|
The US Air Force is operating a new generation of secret spy
|
|
planes capable of reaching eight times the speed of sound, "Jane's
|
|
Defense Weekly" said Friday.
|
|
In a report prepared for next week's issues, the military-affairs
|
|
magazine said the triangular-shaped planes have been in service
|
|
since 1989.
|
|
"We've been working on this report for about three years," Jane's
|
|
editor, Paul Beaver said in a telephone interview. "The evidence
|
|
has grown overwhelming-all we need now is a photograph to prove that
|
|
it exists."
|
|
Beaver quoted the report as saying the $1 billion plane, dubbed
|
|
Aurora, could reachcruising speeds of Mach-8 - or 5,280 mph, more
|
|
than 2 1/2 times the official world record.
|
|
The defense establishment continues to deny the existence of
|
|
Aurora, he said.
|
|
Chris Hudson, 30, a trained aircraft observer, told Jane's that
|
|
while working as an oil-drilling engineer in the North Sea in 1989
|
|
he saw a bizarre wedge shaped plane flying between two F-111
|
|
fighter-bombers and a Hercules tanker.
