The United States has long had military services and the government is passionate about the idea of forming the world's best aviation. And the Aurora project will help the state achieve this. Only there is no clear information about this technology. According to rumors, it performs intelligence functions and acts so that no radar in the world can detect it. However, to date there is no clear evidence for the existence of such an aircraft. But the American government and the army generally deny the existence of such a model in their armaments.
Historical background
In March 1980, one of the American print media announced that the state budget envisaged the injection of a certain amount (approximately $ 455 million) into the development of a certain Aurora project and other innovative technologies in the field of aviation.
According to some reports, by 1987, funding in this area exceeded the $ 2 billion mark. Former chief executive of Lockheed, a large aircraft manufacturing corporation, Ben Rich argued that the name Aurora encoded the name of the B-2 Spirit, and the hypersonic model was the fantasy of journalists.
Such statements by the media were perceived ambiguously. And periodically there are publications allegedly confirming the fact of development and testing of the designated aircraft.
Information deficit led to the emergence of many different versions. Of these, the most popular was the one according to which the US Army was developing a promising aircraft for stealth reconnaissance.
And in service with the U.S. Air Force, the Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird appeared.
She could reach speeds of up to M = 3.2. But these were not fantastic indicators. And the Aurora project involved the creation of a significantly improved modification of a reconnaissance aircraft.
Guesses in the 90s
In this decade, various variations of the appearance of the mysterious model began to appear. Even its potential characteristics were published.
One version said that the speed of the aircraft will reach the parameter M = 5, and this is the minimum.
Assumptions related to the design. So the modification, previously called SR-91, will receive a wing of a triangular shape, the sweep indicator will be 75-80 degrees. The total length of the machine will reach 34-35 m. And the wing span will be in the range of 18-20 m.
Aircraft could achieve fantastic speed only with a special power plant. Such could become a universal engine equipped with two circuits: once-through and turbojet. The purpose of the first - flights in relatively low speeds. The second allowed acceleration to hypersonic parameters.
Different schemes of the power unit were depicted. On one, it had a common air intake and one nozzle for two circuits.
According to various hypotheses, the speed of the aircraft 10-15 times could exceed the speed of sound. Working distances for the car were at least 6000-8000 miles. At the same time, in-flight refueling would take place.
The aircraft of the Aurora project could be equipped with unique reconnaissance equipment:
- Optical devices for surveillance.
- Radar technology.
- Instruments for transmitting information.
There were also suggestions that an impact modification would be released. She will be able to work with two categories of missiles:
As for the crew size, according to theories, it would include a maximum of two people.
The plane of the Aurora project in the USA excited the fantasies of media representatives and aviation fans. And not surprisingly, different images of this model appeared. All of them were based only on fragmentary information.
Thoughts on the development of "Astra TR-3B"
The theoretically secret Aurora project involved the release of several aircraft. And one of these was the Astra TR-3B. In its development should have involved alien technology. Allegedly, the US authorities agreed with extraterrestrial partners on the use of their technical capabilities in building a unique model on earth.
Another development variation is that American scientists, having studied the wreckage of a collapsed UFO, copied these technologies for the planned production as part of the Aurora project.
Appearance, body and motor
The outer shell of Astra specifically perceives electrical stimuli, which leads to a change in the color of the aircraft. The device ceases to emit pulses, and radars cannot detect it.
In the middle of the Astra’s hull there is a magnetic device MFD. Mercury plasma is concentrated in it, forming the action of the gravitational slot.
Propulsion equipment consists of jet engines. Their functioning requires liquefied oxygen and hydrogen. And these units, according to some guesses, are the brainchild of the Rockwell company. This manufacturer has always been distinguished by unique products, for example, the V-2 Spirit strategic plane
Conditions for pilots
In Astra, the cockpit is designed so that pilots can easily withstand loads of up to 40 G. The reason lies in the effect of loss of gravity - up to 89%. This action is provided by the MFD converter. As a result, the human body perceives such a colossal load as 4.2 G. These are standard parameters for flights.
This converter can emit an unusual stream of light, which is perceived as unearthly. Thus, the effect of fantastic lightness of the aircraft is obtained, and the model can implement a variety of and complex maneuvers.
The cockpit is surrounded by a ring particle accelerator. It forms a powerful magnetic vortex spectrum, which neutralizes the influence of gravity on the mass of the ship by 90-100%.
The specified accelerator runs on mercury. The dynamics of its rotation is approximately 60 thousand rpm.
And the main energy source for Astra is a unique nuclear power unit.
Circulation and Cost Arguments
In the USA, the Aurora project provoked many theories and conjectures. They concerned the appearance and technical qualities of the proposed aircraft. But the greatest interest was caused by their quantity and production costs.
According to one theory, their circulation reached 24 units, and the cost of creation amounted to about 10-24 billion dollars.
The media claims that they have many pictures of Astra and other fantastic models. At the highest level, this information is called false, and the existence of such aircraft is fiction.
The press associated this position of the authorities with the fact that most of the unique ships were disposed of. And special small-sized satellites became the priority technology for reconnaissance.
Observation Summary
According to the testimony of some citizens on television channels, the brainchild of the Aurora project was active in different parts of the country.
One such witness is Robert Lazer. He declared that, being in Nevada, he heard a terrible and powerful roar in the sky. For a second, he saw a huge apparatus with a pair of huge square exhausts with blades in them.
Later, Robert was informed that, perhaps, he saw exactly the plane from the Aurora program.
In March 2006, an American historical channel broadcasted, during which a reporter presented a satellite image of the inversion track of an unknown aircraft. The strip began in Nevada, and ended somewhere in the Atlantic Ocean.
In October 2009, Fox News broadcast Iranian missile testing, during which a flying object blasted through the clouds and disappeared behind the horizon. There were three versions of the interpretation of this case:
- UFO.
- Aircraft from the Aurora project.
- Ballistic missile.
Strange noises
In 2014, November 29, residents of the eastern United States and southern Britain heard a series of loud sounds resembling explosions.
The reasons for their appearance are still unknown, which gives rise to various hypotheses:
- The destruction of meteors.
- Natural phenomena.
- Sounds from the jet engine of an unexplored lethal vessel.
The noise was very strong and long. It was heard on two continents at the same time. The British heard him for 20 minutes. Perhaps this was the flight of one of the Aurora models. Although their physical existence has not been confirmed either in the military sphere or at the government level. But, as an information project, Aurora has reached great heights. After all, for about 20 years, the world has been worried about whether there really are such fantastic aircraft and whether ethereal technologies are involved in them. There is a lot of information about this. Questions remain only in its quality and reliability.
