SR-71 "Blackbird": A Legend in the Cold War Skies
In the shadow of the Cold War, the United States' Lockheed Martin Skunk Works developed a supersonic reconnaissance aircraft that became a legend in aviation history – the SR-71 "Blackbird." Soaring at speeds exceeding three times the speed of sound, it was the fastest jet aircraft in the world at the time, and it still holds multiple speed records today.
