Former SR-71 engineer talks NASA's Blackbird revival program

Former SR-71 engineer Tim Conners, who led NASA's Blackbird propulsion program in the 1990s, provides insights into NASA's apparent effort to resurrect the iconic aircraft after Tail 844 disappeared from Armstrong Flight Research Center and NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman hinted at plans for a new high-speed X-plane. Conners, now at Tiberius Aerospace, offers an insider perspective on what it would take to get the dormant aircraft flying again after 27 years of inactivity and its potential role in future NASA flight testing.
