We are all about fast muscle cars here. However, we are also into everything fast, whether land or air. That`s why we just couldn`t pass on sharing this awesome military technology with you guys. Knowing that this was classified information before makes the technology all that much more appealing. The military technology we are talking about was developed during the Cold War. The military tension gave birth to the world`s fastest fighter jet – the Lockheed SR 71 Blackbird aircraft! At the time, the SR 71 showed off some insane specs. Most notable is the top speed that makes many other envious.
In fact, the SR 71 Blackbird aircraft is the fastest in the world and it holds all the speed records as well. It`s also worth mentioning that it managed to fly across the United States in just 64 minutes. So fast that its framework heated during flight. An aircraft fast enough to actually outrun enemy missiles. Something else that is very fascinating about this marvelous work of aircraft engineering is the fact that it flew nearly at the brink of space. This is so high that most jet engines would stop working due to lack of air. Check out the video below and tell us what you think.
