NASA has removed an SR-71 Blackbird from storage while pursuing plans for new experimental aircraft, according to Aviation Week. Separately, NASA’s chief has teased a mysterious aircraft as the agency plans new X-planes, The Aviationist reported.
Reports have linked the developments to speculation about a new aircraft designed to fly higher and faster, but no confirmed specifications or direct connection between the relocated SR-71 and the teased aircraft have been established. The renewed focus on X-planes comes as aviation experts debate the role of crewed experimental aircraft in an era increasingly shaped by drones.
