Looks like its straight off a Star Wars movie set. Interesting to see if it will be as quiet as designed.

Interesting aircraft with very interesting engine placement. From the people who designed the SR 71 nearly 70 years ago.

Curious as to what it's purpose is? Recon? Interceptor?

Dan the purpose is simply to find a way to fly quieter supersonic. Strictly a research craft.

It’s electric. It has to be that long to store the cord……

Thanks Rocky. Seems an expensive research tool for a small problem. Question comes to mind, will it make less noise due to design or altitude? Time will tell I guess.

Pure research.
Reduction of sonic boom through design. Hence that long, long pointy nose.
It is more geared toward civilian aviation. Perhaps a return to the SST.
