Talk about the real Top Gun bravado in extremely brave Tim Cruise to agree to be the first Test Pilot on the super secretive SR-72. The first flight is set to be in 2025. The SR-71 flew at Mach 6. And finally, Tom, He’s Our Man, will get his chance to fly with his Head on Fire like a Bat out of Hell.

Lockheed Martin’s highly anticipated uncrewed hypersonic aircraft, the SR-72 “Son of Blackbird,” is allegedly scheduled to take its first flight in 2025. Believed to be a top-secret project for the United States Air Force (USAF), the SR-72 is touted to reach over 4,000 mph (6,437 kph), making it the fastest plane ever developed. Its role will likely include activities similar to those of its veteran predecessor, the venerable SR-71 “Blackbird.”
