Discover the world's fastest reconnaissance aircraft

Flying 3.3 times faster than the speed of sound, more than 4,000 helpless missiles watched the Blackbird SR-71 flee without being able to touch it even once.

It was a plane moving at the edge of the atmosphere, where most other jet engines had to "give up" . In the process of moving, "Black Birds" heat up according to the speed and friction created with the air.

Not only that, this monster has the ability to speed up, for the missiles targeting it "inhale" and never touch the target.

SR-71 is the first US aircraft designed with radar breaking capability

SR-71 is a product of Skunk Works manufacturer, Lockheed as a secret project that still has the same power as the most advanced products so far.

"Black bird" came into being after the US Army lost a U-2 reconnaissance aircraft, which was dubbed a high-flying cannot reach in the Soviet Union. The SR-71 was born with the ability to fly at Mach 3.3 and the ceiling was high enough that no missiles could be fired.

From 1966 to the end of 1989, SR-71 cut thousands of missiles in global missions, capturing countless scouts in China, Egypt, Arctic or North Korea.

There were 32 SR-71s manufactured including 29 SR-71A, 2 SR-71B and 1 SR-71C

The project of this aircraft was first named SR-71, it has been researched and developed for many years, a weapon born in the highest period of the Cold War. However, the project was eventually suspended due to the satellite technology of the US military, taking on the reconnaissance duties of the SR-71 well, safely and cheaper.

This type of aircraft is equipped with enough technology to fly to the height of the boundary between the atmosphere of space. So the pilot pilots are also equipped with specialized clothes capable of manipulating in the space environment.

However, the type of aircraft with 3.3 times the speed of this sound also has a very high accident rate, up to 30%. Currently, a total of 32 SR-71s were born, but one-third of them had an accident.

The strength of "Black Birds" is excellent stealth capabilities, it is capable of comparable to the more advanced aircraft that have been significantly upgraded in stealth technology as well as shell design.

The black SR-71 is a huge success compared to the U-2 or A-12 predecessors, and at the time of its birth, the SR-71 was the fastest speed aircraft ever and even today.

The type of aircraft used to send thousands of "smoke-breathing" missiles

The body made of titanium ensures heat resistance in flights at 3.3 times the speed of SR-71.

Its strength is speed, about 4,000 missiles were targeted at SR-71 aircraft but have never been chased because of the tremendous speed and ceiling of "Black Birds".

The SR-71 was born before the Global Positioning System (GPS) so when the ground forces used the interaction between the aircraft and the stars (day and night) to calculate the location and route for it.
