The SR-71 should be on this list. <2 years from idea to one of the most remarkable aircraft ever built. Also quite fast :)

Fast for fifty years ago, maybe. I wish they’d tell us about the cool stuff they built in the 80s or 90s.

    Well fast aircraft sort of lost their purpose once satellites got good, so it wouldn’t surprise me to find out they stopped caring about manned, fast aircraft with the SR-71.

    "Fast for fifty years ago . . ."

    How many aircraft today can fly horizontally over 2,000 mph?

    ". . . maybe."

    It may have been fast 50 years ago?
