Could be disinformation, too. A mock-up of some type.

When the stealth fighter was brand new in the public's mind way back in the early 1990s, I was in the Air Force, and our unit sent a plane to an air show at Mountain Home AFB, and there was a "static display" of a stealth fighter with two armed guards and a roped off area with a shadow painted on the ground. It was just empty space, no plane, but you'd be amazed at the number of folks who came up and thought it was the real deal...

I doubt any plane traveling at 4,602 mph could be manned.
In fact if the CONOPS calls for that kind of speed it would be foolish to man.

Revell even had a model of it. It looked like a frisbee. Fooled everyone.
