The SR-71 Blackbird, the legendary American reconnaissance aircraft, still holds several flight records, including speeds of about 3,529.6 km/h (roughly Mach 2.8). A German tech publication is revisiting the aircraft's history, noting that its predecessor, the A-12, remained a state secret for years. Aviation enthusiasts continue to celebrate the Blackbird's unmatched performance decades after its retirement.
Why now: A retrospective on the record-breaking spy plane is drawing attention from aviation and technology fans.
