The SR-71 Blackbird is the fastest plane in history. The Lockheed SR-71 "Blackbird" was a long-range, Mach 3+ strategic reconnaissance aircraft that was operated by the United States Air Force.[1] It was developed as a black project from the Lockheed A-12 reconnaissance aircraft in the 1960s by Lockheed and its Skunk Works division. American aerospace engineer Clarence "Kelly" Johnson was responsible for many of the design's innovative concepts. During aerial reconnaissance missions, the SR-71 operated at high speeds and altitudes to allow it to outrace threats. If a surface-to-air missile launch was detected, the standard evasive action was simply to accelerate and outfly the missile.[2] The SR-71 was designed with a reduced radar cross-section.

@penguinvehiclemanufacturers I Know, That's Basically What I Said When I Found That Out.
@kenny2005 Say whaaaaaaaaattt???!?!!!!!
@penguinvehiclemanufacturers Also, did you know that the engines you used produce 33,720 lbf each, and the R.L. Blackbird's Engines produce 32,500 lbf each.
@penguinvehiclemanufacturers OK, I Might Try to make it go Mach 3 With Modded Engines.
@kenny2005 It can't...😩
@kenny2005 I will try.😁
@penguinvehiclemanufacturers Mach 3 Is 2,304 MPH. So, The Question Really Is Does It Go At Least 2,304 MPH?
@kenny2005 To be Honest I really don't know what Mach 3 is in this game so I don't know if this thing can go Mach 3
@penguinvehiclemanufacturers The Thing Is, Does It Go Mach 3+?
@FlyingFanic The SR-71 Blackbird Is The Fastest AirPLANE That was Manned, And The X-15 Was The Fastest Manned AirCRAFT.
@FlyingFanatic The X-15 is UNMANNED.
@FlyingFanatic According to Wikipedia it's the fastest.
