Lockheed Martin's hypersonic test aircraft Darkstar's PROP was used for the production of the film Top Gun: Maverick. The google earth / maps image shows the prop at Edwards Air Force Base in California. The reason for this was to put on a static display next to a REAL Lockheed Blackbird.
The SR-72 Darkstar is a real, highly secretive, hypersonic aircraft being developed by Lockheed Martin. The aircraft was first announced in 2016 and is intended to be used for intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) missions.
