The Lockheed Martin SR-72 is a hypersonic unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) concept intended for intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) proposed privately in 2013 by Lockheed Martin as a successor to the retired Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird. The company expected an SR-72 test vehicle could fly by 2025.

The SR-72 is to be similar in size to the SR-71 at over 100 ft (30 m) long and have the same range, with entry into service by 2030. The SR-72 follows the US Air Force's hypersonic road map for developing a hypersonic strike weapon by 2020, and a penetrating ISR aircraft by 2030. At the time of the concept's unveiling, Lockheed Martin had engaged in talks with government officials but has not secured funding for the demonstrator or engine.

The SR-72 is expected to have a top speed of Mach 6, or 4,500 mph (7,200 km/h), making it the fastest aircraft ever built. It will be powered by a combination of scramjet and rocket engines and will be able to fly at altitudes of up to 180,000 ft (55,000 m).

The SR-72 is still in the conceptual stage, but it has the potential to revolutionize the way intelligence is gathered. With its incredible speed and range, it will be able to reach any target on the globe in a matter of hours. This will give the US military a significant advantage in terms of surveillance and reconnaissance.
