My point is that the reason you can't name a "high-altitude hypersonic

(Outside the fevered minds of a few conspiracy theorists, that is.)

Maybe you should update the wiki entry:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lockhe...bird#Successor

Para 1 Sentence4: [...] Thus, there are doubts that the US has abandoned
the concept of spy planes to complement reconnaissance satellites.

Someone should update the wiki. The so-called "Aurora" is a myth from
start to finish. The SR-72 is a myth, a "concept" that isn't going
anywhere. Satellites and UAVs have proved entirely adequate for the
job. There are no "high-altitude hypersonic surveillance aircraft" in
existence because there is no need for such an aircraft.
