The air is too thin. You need a rocket and speed to defeat thin air. The edge of space is 65 miles up. The X series plane went to the edge of space and it's the only aircraft that reached the edge of space. I'm sorry, but the SR-71 can't get close to space. 80k feet isn't close to the edge of space. 375k feet is closer to the edge of space.
