Aurora (aircraft)
Aurora was a rumored mid-1980s American reconnaissance aircraft. There is no substantial evidence that it was ever built or flown and it has been termed a myth.〔("Aurora, Strategic Reconnaissance." ) ''AerospaceWeb.org.'' Retrieved: 17 October 2010.〕〔"Aurora Myth." ''Aerospace Daily'', 9 October 1990, p. 34.〕
The U.S. government has consistently denied such an aircraft was ever built. Aviation and space reference site ''Aerospaceweb.org'' concluded "The evidence supporting the Aurora is circumstantial or pure conjecture, there is little reason to contradict the government's position."〔
Others come to different conclusions.〔"Evidence Points to Stealth Spy Plane." ''High Technology Business'', April 1988, pp. 8–9.〕 In 2006, veteran black project watcher and aviation writer Bill Sweetman said, "Does Aurora exist? Years of pursuit have led me to believe that, yes, Aurora is most likely in active development, spurred on by recent advances that have allowed technology to catch up with the ambition that launched the program a generation ago."〔Sweetman, Bill. ("Secret Warplanes of Area 51." ) ''Popular Science,'' 4 June 2006. Retrieved: 1 October 2006.〕
==Background==
The Aurora legend started in March 1990, when ''Aviation Week & Space Technology'' magazine broke the news that the term "Aurora" had been inadvertently included in the 1985 U.S. budget, as an allocation of $455 million for "black aircraft production" in FY 1987.〔("Aurora Timeline." ) ''aemann.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk,'' 29 September 2006 via ''webarchive''. Retrieved: 17 October 2010.〕 According to ''Aviation Week'', ''Project Aurora'' referred to a group of exotic aircraft, and not to one particular airframe. Funding of the project allegedly reached $2.3 billion in fiscal 1987, according to a 1986 procurement document obtained by ''Aviation Week''. In the 1994 book ''Skunk Works'', Ben Rich, the former head of Lockheed's Skunk Works division, wrote that the Aurora was the budgetary code name for the stealth bomber fly-off that resulted in the B-2 Spirit.〔Rich and Janos 1996, pp. 309–310.〕
