Footage appears to show aircraft larger than football field soaring over Calif
- WarOnPrivacy 10mo agoAppears to show? The article identifies the aircraft - which denies the hinted-at uncertainty. And it hit mach5 which is cool and interesting. Aircraft is the Roc, Scaled Composites' autonomous Model 351 Stratolaunch (giant dual-fuselage flying wing).
- anigbrowl 10mo agoMainstream media just reflexively equivocates now, because actually making a positive statement just leads to immediate attacks.
- drweevil 10mo agoIt's the Talon-A2 that reaches mach 5. The Roc is its launch vehicle. Roc is very cool nonetheless.
- WarOnPrivacy 10mo agoAh. Appreciate the clarification. I had planned to be stunned at those giant wings doing mach5, as soon as I had a free minute.
