The Darkstar that Maverick test flies appears to be based on an actual concept for a Mach 6 un-crewed airplane which was tentatively referred to as the SR-72 and revealed by Lockheed Martin Skunk Works in the Nov 4, 2013 issue of Aviation Week and Space Technology. The airplane was projected to enter service no earlier than 2030. The overall configuration of Darkstar in the movie looks very similar to the SR-72 concept, as well as the use of a turbine engine at low speed and a scramjet at high speed. Both the Skunk Works skunk logo and the Lockheed Martin corporate logo are clearly visible in multiple shots of Darkstar in the film.
