Description

The Lockheed SR-71 “Blackbird” is a retired long-range, high-altitude, Mach 3+ strategic reconnaissance aircraft developed and manufactured by the American aerospace company Lockheed Corporation. The SR-71 was developed as a black project reconnaissance aircraft during the 1960s by Lockheed’s Skunk Works division, initially as a bomber variant of the Lockheed A-12 before the program focused solely on reconnaissance. In 1974, on two separate flights, the SR-71 set the record for highest sustained flight, and also the fastest flight time between London and New York. In 1976, it became the fastest air-breathing manned aircraft, previously held by its predecessor, the closely related Lockheed YF-12. As of 2024, the “Blackbird” still holds all three world records.
