The SR-71 Blackbird is the fastest manned jet aircraft ever built and set a world record in the ’70s, for traveling from London to New York in just 1:54:56. Nearly half a century later, those numbers still stand untouched. Now, a new simulation imagines what that kind of speed would look like. Posted by Airplane […]
