SR-71 Blackbird (A) "World Absolute Speed Record Aircraft" | 02425 | Hasegawa | 1:72
The Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird was developed in the 1960s for strategic reconnaissance at very high altitudes and at speeds above Mach 3. The aircraft originated from the secret A-12 program. The SR-71 had two crew members: a pilot and a reconnaissance systems officer.
The construction used a great deal of titanium to withstand the intense heat during high-speed flights. Two Pratt & Whitney J58 engines worked in tandem with carefully regulated air intakes. The fuselage and wings were designed for sustained supersonic flight, with fuel also playing a role in thermal management.
The SR-71 carried cameras and other sensors, but no armament. Protection came primarily from speed, altitude, and electronic countermeasures. From the 1960s onwards, the aircraft gathered intelligence over or along areas that were difficult to reach with slower aircraft.
Thirty-two SR-71s were built. The Blackbird became one of the most famous reconnaissance aircraft of the Cold War. Its technical solutions demonstrated just how far manned aviation could be developed before satellites and unmanned systems took over an increasingly larger share of reconnaissance tasks.
On July 28, 1976, SR-71s set records for speed and altitude in horizontal flight. The absolute speed record was approximately 3,530 km/h. The record-setting version in this kit commemorates that remarkable moment in the history of the Blackbird.
