The fastest aircraft in history now has a son and it flies even faster. The new aircraft under development is known as the SR-72 is everything the new indomitable fighter of the US Air Force should be. Hypersonic, stealthy, heavily armed, and a mean grim look, the SR-72 is an aircraft that’s unlike anything in the skies today. But the SR-72’s invincibility doesn’t begin with itself, in the 21st century — it began decades ago, with its predecessor — an aircraft that was so invincible it was never shot down, the holder of multiple world records, and simply an all-round beast of a machine. An aircraft known as the SR-71 Blackbird.
