I think that the 'Darkstar' from Top Gun was a real prototype and if it is real I would argue it's likely the 'SR-72'. In this blog post by verisurf (https://www.verisurf.com/blog/article/darkstar-adm-works-fabrication/) on the prop-production for the movie there's a photo with a caption that tells about 'functional landing gear' that looks rather crude. However, when compared to the very first image in the blog post it becomes apparent there's two different sets of "functional landing gear". One that looks like a rough prop, and one that looks like real production gear.
