Just wanted to amend my previous statement a bit:
One thing this thing will do good is deliver a some payload (including satellite or UAV) to any place on Earth REALLY fast.
This thing is simply not very good platform for intelligence gathering in itself. Not very easy to gather intelligence at speed of Mach 20+.
- run4yourlives 16y agoUm, the ISS is moving at around Mach 24 right now, so I'd imagine most satellites used for spying are already doing a similar speed, and they have no issues snapping pretty high resolution pics. I don't think this would be a concern for an aircraft doing a similar (or much more practical, slower) speed.
