if anyone here has played C&C Generals, can someone tell me what their Aurora bomber was? it looks like a coss between the X-31 and EF-2000.

Hey moblous. I don't know that much about C&C, but I think Aurora was another name given to that X-43 'Hyper -X' experimental plane that can fly 'Hypersonic' at like Mach 6 or 9 or whatever it is. Aurora was supposedy a code name given to it in the 80s and 90s, so maybe that's what its based on.

From my knowledge and watching Discovery Wings channel, the Aurora bomber is a hypothetical experimental bomber that never made it out of the blackboard stage. That is all I know about it.

Yeah, actually to be honest I have no evidence backing up my suggestion that it is the X-43. Heh, sorry. But if you want some info on some of the theories about it, try this web page:

http://www.abovetopsecret.com/pages/aurora.html

It has quite a detailed exploration of what the plane might look like and the in's and out's of hypersonic flight etc etc. Its quite interesting.

Apperently there is alot of information about from the last 20 to 25 years, But I know that everything you read isn't neccessarily true. So I don't think there is any real way of telling whether or not this aircraft is for real or not.

Yeah your right, and on top of that there's apparently been a fair bit of disinformation circulated by the military in order to create more confusion over the existence of the project, like they did with the F-117 before it came out.

well, the Generals Aurora Bomber dosen't look like the Aurora Bombers i know of. do a Google for Aurora Bomber, select Images, and you SHOULD see a few things, including some links that say something like 'C&CGeneralsworld.com' or something.
