There are many changes from before
such as changes in shape,increasing maximum speed, and total changes to the engine system. Now this aircraft uses 2 types of engines, turbine engines and SCRAMJET (rocket engines)
The SR-72, often colloquially called "Darkstar" following its fictional appearance in Top Gun: Maverick, is an uncrewed hypersonic aircraft concept under development by Lockheed Martin’s Skunk Works. It is designed as the successor to the legendary SR-71 Blackbird, with a primary mission of high-speed intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance (ISR), and potential strike capabilities.
Key Specifications & Features
Speed: Targeted at Mach 6 (approximately 4,600 mph), which is double the speed of the SR-71.
Propulsion: Utilizes a Turbine-Based Combined Cycle (TBCC) engine.
Low Speed: A conventional turbine engine powers takeoff and acceleration to Mach 3.
High Speed: A dual-mode scramjet (supersonic combustion ramjet) takes over to sustain hypersonic speeds above Mach 5.
Design: An unmanned platform intended to execute high-G maneuvers that human pilots could not survive.
Stealth: Incorporates advanced shaping and heat-resistant composite materials (ceramics and carbon mixes) to withstand surface temperatures exceeding 1,000°C.

It's best not to fly too vertically, because you could fly out of space in an instant.
