Revealing the secret of the fastest plane in the world

The fastest aircraft in the world - the legend of aviation during the past decades is the Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird. Soaring in the sky with unbelievable speed of 3530km / h, the Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird is an impressive and charismatic plane.

Back in 1976, a plane dominated books on records, becoming the great legend of aviation with the title of the world's fastest aircraft. It can penetrate the sky at breakneck speed of 3530km / h. That's the legendary Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird.

During the flight in the sky, the plane's navigation rules are carefully documented. Because while flying at supersonic speed, seeing images of mountains, highways or places below is impossible. Even the best air defense system at that time was hopeless in finding Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird.

The great success of this industry did not even become more impressive than ever because until 38 years later, no other aircraft broke this record. Since then, there have been no aircraft comparable to Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird.

The pilots who were fortunate to have the opportunity to sit on this legendary plane from the past decade have recounted the incredible experiences of life: "At 85,000 feet, the feeling of speed approaching Mach 3 as a god ". US Air Force Colonel Jim Wadkins said: 'I wasn't even prepared much before sitting on such a fast plane. Even now when I remember, I still feel nervous, just like I was recently. "

Most commercial airplanes fly only at about 37,000 feet (11,000 meters) while the Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird flies at twice the height of this level. So, what makes Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird so special?

Gizmodo recently revealed a compelling video that uncovers the secrets of the fastest plane on the planet. The video explained in detail the process of propelling an airplane from 0 speed to Mach 3.2 without any effort (sound speed is March 1).

Not only is the world's fastest aircraft, Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird also has an impressive design.(Illustration)

In addition, the aircraft head is designed with a spike to release the ultrasonic pressure on the engine so that while flying at supersonic speed, the Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird has the best airflow. Not only is the fastest plane on the planet, Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird is also an impressive aircraft.

The last flight of the legendary plane was from Los Angeles to Washington DC in 1990, this is also where the aircraft was protected from that time until now, it is currently in the Smithsonian Air & Space. The legendary plane only took 67 minutes to fly to the coast that year. Today, a commercial plane will take nearly 5 hours with a similar journey.
