What are you talking about? The YF-12C was a converted SR-71. It flew exactly as I'm describing. All of this has already been done before.

You might be confusing the YF-12 with the A-12, which is related but a significantly different airframe.

I won't engage in discussing whether balloons are high priority or not. Let the 2023 events and the funding towards those areas speak for themselves.
