Yea... I don't know for sure either... but lets think abut it...

1)  The SR-71 Blackbird was on the verge of being hyper-sonic and flying into space almost 70 years ago !

2)  This plane has the lines of the SR-71 but with even LESS drag !

3)  There has been LOTS of talk that the U.S.A. would NOT have ever retired the SR-71 without having a viable replacement... so there may well have been a TOP SECRET "Son of Blackbird" out there flying for last 20 years !

4)  AND... PROBABLY the biggest snag for a "hyper-sonic fighter" would probably be the weapons launch, and THAT could be tricky... firing a hyper-sonic missile, from a hyper-sonic fighter, and doing it safely...  but IF they have figured that out... there is no reason why THIS could not be the FIRST EVER... HYPER sonic & low earth orbit fighter !!

And if so... that puts the "Hyper-sonic Missiles"... that Russia and China have been bragging about recently... to COMPLETE shame !!
