New Jet Fighter Plan Exceeds All Other Craft In World
President Johnson announced a new U S super jet fighter far surpasses any current aircraft. The program began in 1959 with Lockheed leading, Pratt and Whitney building the engine, and Hughes developing fire control. Details were limited but he noted speeds over 2000 mph and altitudes up to 70000 feet. The craft uses titanium fabrication to resist heat from hypersonic flight and may aid future supersonic airliner tech. Johnson also named top government appointments and addressed security concerns from his Florida trip and Viet Nam policy.
