Just like the ‘Aurora’; which was a code name in a budget for the development of the B2 Stealth Bomber. Everyone was convinced the large amounts of $$$ were for a hypersonic ISR type aircraft. Whoops. The misinformation worked perfectly .

Don’t expect to see a ‘manned’ or unmanned UAV hypersonic craft for sometime. 

I sure as hell would want to be in it versus sitting at a console controlling it. Lol. I been flying since high school and then moved into the USAF and eventually to a test pilot type role for a certain company.
