DarkStar (the real "ghost of Kye..ta"?)
A silly little flight in a "DarkStar"; a plane actually designed by Lockheed Engineers (perhaps a variation of the SR-72 concept), as featured in "Top Gun: Maverick".
This flight features basic technique for climbing up to 275,000 feet at Mach 10. Asobo's Microsoft Flight Simulator does a great job once again with the atmospheric effects and rendering of the earth at such a high altitude. The glow of the aircraft heated at such a high speed is a lovely touch too. This aircraft isn't exactly "study level" (it is a fictional (at least officially-ha) aircraft afterall); but it's obvious some great effort was put into many details on this aircraft.
This flight from Aiyura (in the Eastern Highlands of Papua New Guinea) to tropical shores of Kieta, Autonomous Region of Bougainville, (A flight I've done many times in a Cessna 402C as a passenger), is for somewhat personal reasons, (plus I have drone footage of both areas)... This distance doesn't really show the full benefit of hypersonic flight, as the time it took to accelerate and decelerate for this 700 mile flight took almost as long as flying four times as far, coast to coast across the USA.
