Description

Aurora was a rumored mid-1980s American reconnaissance aircraft. There is no substantial evidence that it was ever built or flown and it has been termed a myth.

The US government has consistently denied such an aircraft was ever built. Aviation and space reference site Aerospaceweb.org concluded, The evidence supporting the Aurora is circumstantial or pure conjecture, there is little reason to contradict the government’s position.

Former Skunk Works director Ben Rich confirmed that Aurora was simply a myth in Skunk Works (1994), a book detailing his days as the director. Rich wrote that a colonel working in the Pentagon arbitrarily assigned the name Aurora to the funding for the B-2 bomber design competition and somehow the name was leaked to the media.

In 2006, veteran black project watcher and aviation writer Bill Sweetman said, Does Aurora exist? Years of pursuit have led me to believe that, yes, Aurora is most likely in active development, spurred on by recent advances that have allowed technology to catch up with the ambition that launched the program a generation ago.

A mod aircraft called Lockheed SkunkWorks SR-91 Aurora. Built with 50 of the finest parts, its root part is mk2.cockpit.
