NASA plans to revive fastest manned aircraft

The article discusses NASA's efforts to revive the SR-71A Blackbird aircraft, the fastest manned reconnaissance plane in the world, after approximately 27 years of ceasing its use, with the agency not revealing the official reasons behind this decision. It is believed that the aircraft, numbered 884, requires significant maintenance due to environmental factors it was exposed to, and that its spare parts have been damaged at a cost of $600 million. However, substantial financial resources may enable its rapid reactivation, as the aircraft is capable of reaching Mach 3.3—about 3,540 kilometers per hour—making it one of the fastest planes in history. NASA's leader also points to the potential development of a new generation of supersonic aircraft, with designs resembling the Blackbird, as part of the agency's efforts to advance high-performance reconnaissance technology.
