Mysterious X-Plane from NASA

The main undercarriage (post 14) points to it being a bad take on an SR.71

It would make sense to use existing, proven systems on such a machine and when it comes to high-speed aircraft, you need to be able to stop. So re-use of the SR-71's undercarriage, or components of it would be understandable.

Bob225 - I agree with your sentiment on these multi-post threads (TL;DR) but I think I mentioned on another thread that we had our stab at all this speculation in the 1990s (I assume you were around then), so why not let the new 6th generation black aircraft chasers have their AI/not AI fun?

I use the 'Ignore' function.

When we see the real aircraft I'll get excited. Until then it's just a slideshow image that could be anything of any origin.
