The Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird was a high-altitude, Mach 3+ strategic reconnaissance aircraft developed by Lockheed Corporation's Skunk Works division during the 1960s. It had a crew of two and was equipped with signals-intelligence sensors, side-looking airborne radar, and a camera, allowing it to operate at high speeds and altitudes. A total of 32 aircraft were built, with 12 being lost in accidents, and it held world records for highest sustained flight and quickest flight between London and New York. The SR-71 was retired in 1998, but its successor, the SR-72, is under development by Lockheed Martin and scheduled to fly in 2025.learn more on wikipedia
