Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird History:

The Lockheed SR-71 was an advanced long-range strategic reconnaissance aircraft developed from the YF-12A and A-12 aircraft by the Lockheed Skunk Works. It is known by many unofficial nicknames such as "Habu", "SR", "Lady in Black", "Sled", and most commonly, the "Blackbird". It is the fastest and highest flying production aircraft in the world, capable of flying over Mach 3.2 and at 85,000 feet. The Blackbird was in service from 1964 to 1998, with 12 of the 32 aircraft destroyed in accidents, though none were lost to enemy action.

Clarence "Kelly" Johnson was responsible for many of the design's advanced concepts, with the SR-71 being one of the first aircraft shaped to reduce its radar cross section, though its radar signature could be tracked by contemporary systems unlike later stealth aircraft. The SR71 is a large aircraft that can be compared respectfully to the size of a Boeing 727. It is approximately 103.876 feet long excluding the nose probe and has a wingspan of 55.62 feet. Its maximum takeoff weight is 170,000 lbs.

During the 1970s, the Blackbird set many speed and altitude records. On September 13, 1974, it set a speed record of 1,435.587 mph flying from London to Los Angeles. On July 28, 1976, it set an altitude in horizontal flight record at 85,068.997 feet and a speed over a closed course record of 2,193.167 mph. On September 1, 1974, the aircraft set a record from New York to London in 1 hour 54 minutes and 56 seconds.
