The Aircraft

History: Developed in the 1960s as the ultimate reconnaissance aircraft, the Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird was designed to fly faster and higher than any enemy could reach. Constructed primarily from titanium to withstand extreme heat, it became the fastest operational aircraft in history, capable of evading missiles simply by outrunning them. With an altitude ceiling of 85,000 feet, it remained virtually untouchable during its missions, serving until 1999.

Most Iconic Moment: On July 28, 1976, the SR-71 set the world record for the fastest air-breathing manned aircraft, reaching an unbelievable speed of 2,200 mph—a record that still stands today.
