The US has long had military service and the government is passionate about the idea to form the best aviation in the world. And the Aurora project will help the country achieve this. Only there is no clear information about this technology. According to rumors, it performs reconnaissance functions and operates in such a way that not a single radar in the world can detect it. However, to date, there is no clear evidence of the existence of such an aircraft. And the US government and army generally deny the existence of such a model in their weapons.
Historical Background
In March 1980, one of the American print publications announced that the country's budget provided for an injection of some 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 for this area exceeded $2 billion. The former head of the large aircraft manufacturer Lockheed, Ben Rich, claimed that the word "Aurora" encoded the name of the B-2 Spirit aircraft, and the hypersonic model was the fantasy of journalists.
Such statements were received by the media ambiguously. And periodically there are publications allegedly confirming the development and testing of the designated aircraft.
The lack of information 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 ste alth reconnaissance.
And the Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird model appeared in service with the US Air Force.
She could reach speeds up to M=3, 2. But these were not fantastic indicators. And the Aurora project meant the creation of a significantly improved modification of the reconnaissance aircraft.
Guessing in the 90s
In this decade, different variations of the appearance of the mysterious model began to appear. Even its potential characteristics have been published.
One of the versions said that the speed of this aircraft would reach the M=5 parameter, and this is the minimum.
Assumptions also concerned the design. So the modification, formerly called the SR-91, will receive a triangular wing, the sweep rate will be 75-80 degrees. The total length of the machine will reach 34-35 m. And the wingspan will be in the range of 18-20 m.
A plane could achieve fantastic speed only with a special power plant. Such could be a universal engine equipped with two circuits: ramjet and turbojet. The purpose of the first is flights at relatively low speeds. The second allowedaccelerate to hypersonic parameters.
Depicted different schemes of the power unit. On one, he had a common air intake and one nozzle for two circuits.
According to various hypotheses, the speed of the aircraft could exceed the speed of sound by 10-15 times. Working distances for the car were at least 6000-8000 miles. In this case, refueling would take place in flight.
The aircraft of the Aurora project could be equipped with unique reconnaissance equipment:
- Optical surveillance devices.
- Radar technology.
- Information transmission devices.
There were also speculations that a shock modification would be released. She will be able to work with two categories of missiles:
- air-to-air,
- air-ground.
In terms of crew size, theories suggest it would have been a maximum of two.
The Aurora project aircraft in the USA stirred the fantasies of media representatives and aviation fans. And it is not surprising that different images of this model appeared. All of them were based only on fragmentary information.
Thoughts on the development of Astra TR-3B
Theoretically, the secret project "Aurora" provided for the production of several aircraft. And one of these was the Astra TR-3B. Alien technology was supposed to be involved in its development. Allegedly, the US authorities agreed with extraterrestrial partners to use their technical capabilities in buildingunique model on earth.
Another variation of the development - American scientists, having studied the wreckage of a crashed UFO, copied these technologies for the planned production as part of the Aurora project.
Appearance, body and motor
The outer shell of the Astra specifically perceives electrical stimuli, which leads to a change in the color of the aircraft. The device stops emitting pulses, and radars cannot detect it.
In the middle of the "Astra" case there is a magnetic device MFD. Mercury plasma is concentrated in it, forming the action of a gravitational slit.
Propulsion equipment consists of liquid-propellant engines. They require liquefied oxygen and hydrogen to function. And these units, according to some guesses, are the brainchild of Rockwell. This manufacturer has always been distinguished by unique products, such as the B-2 Spirit strategic aircraft
Conditions for pilots
In the Astra, the cockpit is designed so that the pilots can safely withstand loads 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 the standard parameters for flying.
This converter can emit an unusual beam of light that is perceived as unearthly. In this way, the effect of the aircraft's fantastic lightness is obtained, and the model can implement various and most complex maneuvers.
The cockpit is surrounded by an annular particle accelerator. It forms a powerful magnetic vortexspectrum, which neutralizes the effect of gravity on the mass of the ship by 90-100%.
The specified accelerator works 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.
Arguments about circulation and costs
In the US, the Aurora Project has provoked a lot of theories and speculation. They concerned the appearance and technical qualities of the proposed aircraft. But the most interesting was 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 they have many shots 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 have become priority equipment for reconnaissance.
Summaries of observations
According to the testimonies of some citizens to television channels, the offspring of the Aurora project were active in different parts of the country.
One of these eyewitnesses is Robert Lazera. He stated that while in Nevada, he heard an eerie and powerful roar in the sky. For a second he saw a huge machine with a pair of huge square exhausts with blades in them.
Later, Robert was informed that he may have seen the plane from the Aurora program.
In March 2006, an American history channelbroadcast, during which the reporter presented a satellite image of the contrail of an unknown aircraft. The strip started in Nevada and ended somewhere in the Atlantic Ocean.
In October 2009, Fox News broadcast an Iranian missile test in which a flying object broke through the clouds at lightning speed and disappeared over the horizon. There were three interpretations of this case:
- UFO.
- Aircraft from the Aurora project.
- Ballistic missile.
Strange noises
On November 29, 2014, residents of the eastern United States and southern United Kingdom heard a series of loud explosion-like sounds.
The reasons for their appearance are still unknown, which gives rise to various hypotheses:
- Destruction of meteors.
- Natural phenomena.
- Sounds from the jet engine of an unexplored lethal craft.
The noise was very strong and prolonged. It was distributed on two continents at the same time. The British heard it for 20 minutes. Perhaps it 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 worrying about whether such fantastic aircraft really exist and whether unearthly technologies are involved in them. There is a lot of information about this. Questions remain only in its quality and reliability.
