The United States will build fighters that are 2.5 times faster than flying bullets

According to Aviation Week, the aircraft that Boeing is planning to build seems to be called Valkyrie II. Information about this aircraft was unveiled at the US Aeronautics and Space Science Forum held in Orlando, Florida, USA in January.

Although the project has not officially been 'greened' , Boeing is said to be ambitious to create a supersonic aircraft that can fly around the world in about 1-3 hours, faster than the speed of bullets. fired from the gun. According to Kevin Bowcutt, senior technical expert for Boeing's supersonic technology, Valkyrie II can perform many tasks from surveillance, reconnaissance, intelligence and attack.

According to photos posted by Boeing on the official website and social networking site, Valkyrie II is a plane with two tails, wings extending along the body and expanding at the bottom. According to Aviation Week, the aircraft is designed in a waverider style , which allows it to use shock waves to accelerate and reduce traction. However, this will not be the final model of Valkyrie II because Boeing seems to continue to research and improve the design of this aircraft.

According to Bowcutt, with waverider technology, Valkyrie II is faster than bullets flying from the barrel. Its speed is 2.5 times faster than flying bullets, twice as much as the legend of civilian supersonic supersonic Concorde. It will take 1 hour to fly across the Atlantic, 2 hours flying over the Pacific Ocean.

According to RT, if Boeing developed and built Valkyrie II, it would be a direct competitor to Lockheed Martin's SR-72 aircraft, the successor version of the world's fastest reconnaissance aircraft, . Both SR-72 and Valkyrie II use special motors to push the speed up to the supersonic.

It is expected that Boeing will start building Valkyrie II in 10-20 years if the project is approved and they will build a small test version, equal to the size of F-16 fighters before development. Large size version.
