Something along the lines of an F-117.

Are you guys out of your mind, the SR-71 was a great plane but it has been out of commission for years and they still use the U-2, and UAV's, then of course the Satellites.

Sightings of the Aurora (not sure what the official military designation is)claim it triangular in shape, but the top brass are doing a pretty thorough job of keep a tight lid on things so we got know way to know for certain.

I think it's a kind of a flying wing. It is by far the most efficient flying shape.

That's a pretty big generalization. "Efficient", how do you define that for flying terms? Each aircraft is designed differently for a different job.

Efficient as in, it'll fly for much longer, has less air drag, therefore potential for the best range... probably the best service ceiling depending on the engine. Not to mention, it could fly VERY fast.

Uh, HELLO?  The SR-71 is the fastest known Jet in World History. It's not a flying Wing. I did some research and found that the SR-71 Could outfly a 30 caliber Rifle Bullet. |
