After 30 years in service the Blackbird still looks like a 21st century aircraft. One of the fastest planes ever built, it reached a top speed of more than 2,200 mph at an altitude of 80,000 feet. At that altitude, the crew needed to wear special pressurized suites and helmets and required 100% oxygen to survive. This die-cast metal model comes in 1:200 scale with plastic stand and is approximately 6 1/2"L x 3 1/2"W x 2"H. Metal and plastic. Ages 14+ up. Not a toy, created for adult collector.
