kelly jonsen designed it but skunk works engineers helped to build the SR-71 the F-22 Raptor was made buy the same people as the SR-71 Blackbird
The SR 71 Blackbird was built for stealth so that it couldn't be spotted in the radars of opposite crafts
They were designed and built in the early 1960's and the first flight of an SR-71 took place on 22 December 1964
The SR-71 Blackbird was built by Lockheed-Martin. which is now made in china
America wanted a surveillance aircraft. A surveillance aircraft, if detected by enemy planes can evade faster. So they built the SR-71.
The SR-71 Blackbird was launched since 1964 . The SR-71 Blackbird was built in 1963 and it was built by Lockheed Martin. Only the United States has the SR-71 Blackbird. In reallife no SR-71 Blackbird was ever shot down during their mission. The SR-71 Blackbird is the World's fastest and highest flying military aircraft. The SR-71 Blackbird can climb more higher than any other planes and missiles. No missiles can ever shoot down the SR-71 Blackbird. United States of America is the only one Country that have SR-71 Blackbird. Fighters in the air still cannot stop the SR-71 Blackbird. It was invited during 1964. The SR-71 Blackbird can reach up to over 85,000 feet. No missiles can ever fly that high.
32 actual operational SR-71's were built. -About 18 survive in Air Museums all across USA and 1 in England.
Lockheed built the SR-71 Blackbird. It was a built by a division of Lockheed called Skunk Works. Skunk Works worked on some of the most classified military projects.
They were designed and built at Lockheed "Skunk Works " in Burbank, California
The Blackbird was designed and built in the early 1960's .
The SR-71 Blackbird, originally named the RS-71, but renamed when Lyndon Johnson accidentally rearranged the letters during his 1964 announcement of the existence of the SR-71 (or RS-71?). Anyway, it was designed by Clarence "Kelly" Johnson, at that time vice president of the Skunk Works. The project began in February 1963. The SR-71/RS-71 was built to be a strategic reconnaissance aircraft. Its first flight was on Dec. 22, 1964. Regarding cost, the SR-71 was not cheap. The cost of running the SR-71 fleet in the 1980s was $260 million annually and It costs $50,000 an hour to fly the SR on a routine basis.
