  Aurora aircraft
The Aurora aircraft is allegedly a secret U.S. hypersonic (Mach 5 or greater) spy plane[?] developed in the 1980s or 1990s as a replacement for the aging and expensive SR-71 Blackbird.
Aurora aircraft might be based at the secret government airbase Groom Lake (Area 51) in Nevada, as well as Edwards AFB, California, and Machrihanish[?], Scotland.
Also, some cite Aurora as the source of several unexplained sonic booms that occurred over California (especially Los Angeles) and Nevada.

 Aurora spy plane
In a hypersonic ramjet aircraft, the entire underside of the forward body acts as a ramp that compresses the air, and the entire underside of the tail is an exhaust nozzle.
The Aurora aircraft has an airframe like a flattened American football, about 110 ft long and 60 ft wide, smoothly contoured, and covered in ceramic tiles similar to those used on the Space Shuttle which seem to be coated with "a crystalline patina indicative of sustained exposure to high temperature.
When travelling at such speeds, a thrust wall (the aircraft is travelling so fast that a molecules in the air are rapidly pushed aside near the nose of the aircraft which in essence becomes a wall) is created in the front of the aircraft.

In the late 1980s and early 1990s it was believed that a top-secret reconnaissance aircraft, capable of flying at speeds beyond Mach 6, was developed to replace the SR-71 Blackbird.
The Aurora has been attributed to scores of unidentified aircraft reports around the world, including a 1989 sighting from an oil platform in the North Sea, a series of mysterious sonic booms over Southern California in 1991-92, and photographs of unusual "donuts-on-a-rope" contrails.

In mythology, Aurora was the Roman Goddess of the dawn who rode her chariot across the sky, the supreme vantage point from where she could observe the world.
Aurora is perhaps a fitting name for a surveillance craft that travels through the sky at a cruising speed of 5,300 miles per hour, can be anywhere in the world in under 3 hours and is officially a myth.
Aurora's distinctive noise pattern and bead like contrails are said to be due to the fact that it uses advanced Pulse Detonation Wave Engines for propulsion, which produces the telltale "string of beads" contrail.

 Aurora
Going back to the basics, the length of a runway is determined either by the distance an aircraft requires to accelerate to flying speed, or the distance that the aircraft needs to decelerate after landing.
The USAF finally acknowledged that the aircraft was a Lockheed U-2, and released pictures of one of the models in fake National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA) markings to bolster the story that it was engaged in high-altitude atmospheric research.
Allegedly, it was a misreading, but the official designation of the aircraft was changed to SR (strategic reconnaissance) and the fact that the aircraft could have been developed easily to carry weapons was not alluded to until the early 1980s.
