Also, the A-12 was slightly faster and could fly slightly higher than the SR-71 could thanks to it being lighter. As to the altitude, it could depend on the high altitude ambient temperature (no kidding). The temperature could vary by a lot depending on where the jet stream was, in very non-ideal conditions they'd struggle to maintain 60,000 feet.

| Isn't the temperature constant above like 36000 feet? If the temperature is constant above a certain altitude then how can the temp change when an SR-71 is flying above that specific altitude were temp does not change? Apparently the unclassified material says that the SR-71 can fly mach 3.2 usually it goes a little faster or slower due to the temp but how can that be if the temp does not change above 36000 ft? Or it could go Mach 3.2 to Mach 3.3 when authorized by the commander even though it could probably routinely cruise at Mach 3.25 on standard day temps assuming the "unclassified" information is correct. |

| As I recall, there is a range of high altitudes where the temp does not change with altitude, but it does change day to day. So we have hot day, standard day, and cold day temp standards. |

| also, its only constant temp up to like 60,000 ft, then it rises again |

| Actually, the Blackbird is one of my favorites. it is fast, slick, and nice-looking, and its big. I seen one in real life, and they are GIANT. Sometimes, i think that it should come back as a bomber instead of a recon. it's big, and just add a bomb bay and take away the recon equipment, and you have a bomber. |
