The Lockheed SR-71, nicknamed the Blackbird, holds the record for the fastest airplane ever. A record which it set in 1976 and has held for 44 years. It also set a record for the highest altitude ever recorded for a sustained flight. 

Even though the plane hasn’t flown in over 20 years, it is still high in the consciousness of many aviation enthusiasts.
