What's there to say about the Lockhead SR-71 Blackbird that has not already been said? It's without a doubt, the most badass plane the U.S. has ever flown. On July 28, 1976, it broke the World Records for fastest airspeed at 2,193.167 mph and highest altitude 85,068.997 ft. It can get you from New York to London in two hours, New York to LA in one hour. Its pilots could see space and could figuratively travel back in time. Everything on this airplane was designed with a specific purpose. See the two pointed cones protruding from the engines? Those were essential to the operation of the Blackbird because they slowed down the flow of hypersonic air to allow the engines to cool down, while also contributing to more than half of the engine's thrust! It's also incredibly rare. 32 were made, 29 were operational, 12 were lost in accidents (none in combat), and 18 of this specific model are in aviation museums across the country—including the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum in Washington, D.C.
