The x series is a rocket that can hold a crash dummy in it. They're an experimental development. At least the sr-71 had useful applications like recon. The problem with designing faster aircraft is that the human body can't handle so much g force, especially for sustained time periods.

So i think these new mach tests will be for robots, how is a human going to pilot something that fast without a lot of computer help anyway?
