Lockheed reports that the demonstrator would be flying by 2023 and the operational aircraft by 2030. While the artist rendering shows no signs of a visible cockpit, Lockheed claims the vehicle will have the option for a pilot onboard. Oh how far weve come. This ideas grandaddy, the A-12 went from sparkle in Kelly Johnsons eye in late 1957 to flying prototype in April 1962, and they had to invent the technology to build it and the engines didnt even exist yet. Now these wahoos wanna take 10 years just to get a prototype in the air. Progress indeed.
