Secret Aircraft

PopSci had an article today regarding what they maybe be developing at Area 51, though generally speaking what the Air Force may be developing in general.



The first concept drawing they had caught my eye (above). It looked most like a sci fi drop ship that I always wondered why the military didn't seek to produce, as it always looked so easy on TV or the movies. :P

Now I bet there are some Air Force Generals out there saying "Oh maybe we should actually be building that." :)

On the other hand recent evidence had provoked the Pop Sci writer of the article to state the rather outspoke fact that the Aurora Project is well into the swing of things. The picture below:


Personally, it's likely both are in some for of development, but I would expect even grander schemes in the works bigger and more "spacier" then these. Only expect these ones to actually be around in 5 to 8 years time.
