The fascinating story of the spy plane SR71 Blackbirdthe fastest manned aircraft in the history of aviation.The SR71 Blackbird, the famed spy jet, was deliberately designed to be the world's fastest and highestflying aircraftand its success has never been approached since.It was conceived in the late 1950s by Lockheed Martin's highly secret 'Skunk Works' team under one of the most (possibly the most) brilliant aero designers of all time, Clarence Kelly Johnson. Once fully developed in 1964, the Blackbird represented the apogee of jetpowered flight. It could fly at well over three times the speed of sound above 85,000 feet and had an unrefueled range of 3,200 nautical miles. It flew with great success until 1999). Despite extensive use over Vietnam and later battlefields, not one was ever shot down (unlike the U2 in the Gary Powers incident).The Blackbird's capabilities seem unlikely ever to be exceeded. It was retired because its function can be performed by satellitesand in today's steady trend toward unmanned military aircraft, it is improbable that another jet aircraft of this speed and caliber will ever again be conceived.
