Finally I got the chance to meet “Blackbird”—SR71. Build at 1960s, this big bird still holds the fastest records! How fast can it truly fly? No one knows(still top secret). But if the drone it released can reach Mach 4 easily (4 times over local speed of sound at international...
Perhaps one of the most ellegant aircraft of recent times is theLockheed SR- 71A Blackbird. It's unique shape means that it is easilyidentifiable, if it is seen that is. With altitude records of 85,000ft, and a top speed of Mach 3.17 means that people rar...
Arguably there’s still no ‘hyperbike’ that delivers ballistic speed, competence, comfort and refinement so well. The CBR1100XX is sensible and utterly insane in one nicely presented Honda package. Named after the cold war’s fastest spy plane - the Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird - that first ...
The Lockheed Martin SR-71 “Blackbird” is one of the most unique and iconic aircraft of all time. Developed in the 1960s to fly faster and higher than all other airplanes and missiles of the time, the SR-71 holds world records for sustained altitude (85,069 feet) and speed (2,193.2 ...
Question 1: What was the mission of the SR-71 Blackbird? Matthew Burchette — Museum of Flight:The Blackbird was developed as a high-speed, high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft for the U.S. Air Force. It was outfitted with an advanced synthetic aperture radar system, an optical bar camera...

So how do you follow an act like the SR-71? Perhaps unsurprisingly, with the SR-72. Unlike the original Blackbird, this craft will be unmanned, but should be twice as fast, with a cruising speed around Mach 6. Which is 4500mph.Such pace doesn't require vapourware, but rather ...
Perhaps one of its greatest achievementscame in 1990 when an SR-71 broke four new speed records during a cross-country trip from California to Chantilly, Virginia. During the flight, the SR-71 set the record for fastest West Coast to East Coast time (67 minutes, 54 seconds); fastest Los...
Reaching over Mach 3, the SR-71 Blackbird was a high-altitude, strategic reconnaissance aircraft. Veteran pilot “Buz” Carpenter explains the fastest jet ever.
