NASA appears to be pulling its SR-71 Blackbird, the fastest production plane ever made, out of retirement as the Trump administration teases its new line of hypersonic surveillance jets — but doubt…
Seeing Blackbird fly again after all these years would be incredible. I’d love to know what NASA has planned for it.
Higher and faster. Not a successful program, though.
These days we have the X-37, which goes even higher and faster. I’m sure we could drop a computer flight system into any aircraft and make it a drone with sufficient work, too.
