The putative hypersonic Aurora is referred to as the SR-91 Aurora. A-17 stealth attack plane. The spyplane's airframe may incorporate stealth
The Aurora supports a wide variety of roles, including operations management, maritime and overland intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance, anti-submarine and anti-surface warfare, strike coordination, and search and rescue. Almost 19,000 feet of the runway at Groom Lake is paved for normal operations. From this program came the FDL-5 research vehicle, which beared an amazing

The SR-91 Aurora is an alleged hypersonic spy plane developed in the 1980s or the 1990s, but currently there is no hard evidence to support its existence, even though many people have reported sightings.[1]. Throughout the 1980s, financial analysts concluded that
