I think "Aurora" was the name of a fictional test plane featured on The X-Files. Its possible that something in development has that name, and certain aircraft are certainly being tested now with top speeds well above mach 4, but I would doubt that they would be so cliche as to use the same secret code that the writers of The X-Files used.

Well, that would depend on what you call plane. There is a rocket plane called the X-15 that flied at Mach 6
4,500 mph.
The fastest airplane with airplane engines was the SR-71 Blackbird which traveled at Mach 3.2.
If there is a plane called the Aurora, it is probably Top Secret being held somewhere at Area 51.

There was rumoured to be a plane called the Aurora that used some special type of propulsion that could travel at very high speeds (Mach 5+) but popular opinion is that the project was scrapped.

Mach a million is the cost of sound (approximately 1070 ft according to sec, it may selection because of the fact of humidity and altitude (barometric stress)). Mach 6 is 6 cases the cost of sound. Multiply the cost of sound by way of 6; and then take that answer and multiply that by way of one hundred eighty (that's what proportion seconds are in 3 minutes). that grant you with the respond in ft. Divide this by way of 5279.86, to get what proportion miles have been traveled.

Spyplanes are outdated and being retired. Sats are much more reliable and theres no risk of endangering the pilots. Many countries in the world such as Russia and China, have SAMS with Mach 6-7.
