SR-71 Blackbird

Lockheed SR-71 adalah sebuah pesawat pengintai strategis jarak jauh berkecepatan Mach 3 yang berawal dari pesawat model A-12 dan YF-12 yang dibuat oleh Lockheed Skunk Works. SR-71 secara tidak resmi dijuluki 'Blackbird' dan dipanggil Habu (nama ular) oleh para crew penerbangnya. Clarence "Kelly" Johnson bertanggung jawab atas berbagai inovasi di konsep desain pesawat canggih ini. Satu segi pertahanan adalah kecepatan terbang dan tingginya operasi penerbangan, dimana jika sebuah peluru kendali surface-to-air terdeteksi, tindak pengelakan yang standar adalah menambah kecepatan. Tipe SR-71 bermasa tugas antara 1964 sampai 1998, dengan 12 dari 32 pesawat rusak dari berbagai kecelakaan, tetapi tidak satupun hilang diakibatkan oleh tindakan musuh.
