#OTD in 1964, NASA's SR-71 Blackbird made its 1st flight.
The SR-71 was designed to cruise at Mach 3.2 and at altitudes up to 85,000 ft, making it ideal for high-speed, high-altitude @NASAaero research.

SR-71 Blackbird
Two SR-71 aircraft were used by NASA as testbeds for high-speed, high-altitude aeronautical research. The aircraft, an SR-71A and an SR-71B pilot trainer aircraft were based at NASA's Dryden Flight Research Center, Edwards, CA.NASA
This is a prime example and only one - recasting the intelligence (spy) SR-71 plane as a NASA research vehicle.
