I'm very skeptical of these rumors. The SR-71 inlets were shaped for a specific range of mach numbers, and wouldn't work beyond that. Significant new engineering would be needed to go well beyond mach 3.5.
- ontologiae 8y agoUsing MagnetoHydroDynamic, you can. You just have to use parietal Engine invented by Jean-Pierre Petit in 1975[1]. With this technology you can fly at Mach 8, easily.. [1] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jn8b3E9oUHY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jn8b3E9oUHY
