Interesting articles about the Lockheed SR 71, better know as "Blackbird".
The Blackbird was a product of the cold war era and is basically the fastest jet ever flown in regular operations.
Some facts about the plane:
* It was so fast, no hostile jet or defense missile system was ever able to even damage one plane. The plane could simply outpace anything coming towards it...
* When on ground, the plane was leaking cerosine from it's tanks. Cause when in high altitudes at high speed, the plane would heat up immensely from friction, and the heat causing the alloy to expand and close the "gaps"
* The CIA had to build up a fake company, to secretly buy tons of alloy from their enemy the Soviets, cause at that time, the CCCP was the only country which could provide enough of this material
* The plane was able to fly at a top speed of Mach 3,36. This means it flys a mile every 1,6 seconds. 1600 meters in 1,6 seconds... Imagine that...
