I've worked and also done research for the government. One of my mentors owned the company that sold supercomputers to the CIA in the 1970's and 80's. His dad was a four star air force general. Another friend, the government payed for her PhD in mechanical engineering since she agreed to design missile systems and stuff for them.
I've always heard rumors that the Army is maybe 5-10-15 years ahead of the general public's technology whereas the deeper black elements of the DoD/DARPA/intelligence community is perhaps 20-50 or even 100 years ahead in classified technology. Someone gave the example of fiber optics being around since the 1940's.
My thoughts:
The government probably isn't that far ahead in most things, but it will be a few decades ahead in weaponry, code breaking, surveillance technology, and possibly in flight capabilities. (The precursors of fiber optics were used in the 1800sā¦)
They are ahead, but there is a long distance between discovery, experimentation and availability of new technology.
The idea of aerospace companies potentially as holders of basic scientific knowledge not shared with the academic world? There certainly is materials science/knowledge which involves topological physics. But fundamental physics, as opposed to condensed matter, is it possible?
I am highly skeptical that aerospace companies have fundamental physics knowledge not shared with the academic world.
For practical applications, the story is very different!
The boundary between these is things like high-temperature cuprate superconductors, which IBM had for a short while (probably while filing patents) before releasing it to the academic world.

The US does have an incredible structure for avoiding the freedom of information act. Where we have private companies that are entrusted with secrets that you can't hold in government. So in the same way that a rich person sets up an irrevocable trust doesn't have any assets - the person doesn't have the assets, a container has the assets. And somebody is control of the container directing it to make loans which are taxed under different structures (and limited liability) so the person is living an incredibly lavish lifestyle with no assets. Has the government figured out the FOIA issue - "what information, we don't have any information?"
All laws are made for a reason, dig back and inevitability there is a motivating reason for the law or tax, Always follow the money and you will find the real reason for it, and it works both ways; FOIA is an example of a good law... and all the efforts that have gone into circumventing it are started by someone who did not want to comply. Who was it, follow the money behind it.
All black projects are funded beyond the "experimental" budget items, by including funds in other projects, so these projects provide "shelter" from direct oversite funding. They really did not pay $400 for a hammer.
I always found the time traveler technology conspiracy entertaining haha
