Stanmich Project Aurora
Yep. until the project has been really show to exist, Project Aurora was led by Stanmich. The Aurora UAV is a design for a scramjet powered UAV for Ground attacks, with precision and extreme power. It was slowly bleeded to a release for the whole thing in 2020, but given the recent COVID-19, Stanmich has elected to hold off until 2030, when Stanmichs 3rd son will likely take role of President of the company. It was designed almost like a ballistic missile, designed to withstand insane G-forces without bending an inch. Project Aurora was thought up in 1973 after man was last sent to the moon. the aircraft was to leave earths atmosphere with an Auxillary Booster and Fuel Tank. as such, like a space shuttle, it had to use its main engines to launch into space, requiring the scramjet to be redesigned to accomodate rocket fuel as an option. along with this, the two most middle missiles could be replaced with rocket fuel tanks, for easier deorbit burns. after deorbit burning inverted, the aircraft would pitch 20 degrees up, and start the slow fall from Mach 17.7, down to less than 3 Mach, somewhere over something or other. this would be a surprise for the enemy, especially since Aurora is able to supercruise, is supermanueverable, and can operate at altitudes of up to 100000ft, the latter two being helped by the RCS used to control at high altitudes (best activated past 50000ft. CONTROLS: AG1, Afterburner, AG2, Arresting Hook (yes, of course this thing is carrier capable, why wouldn't it be?), AG3, RCS (high altitude and/or supermanueverability). max speed no afterburn: 1.3 Mach, max speed with afterburn: 2.5 Mach.
