SR-71 Nose on Display
Side-looking radar, built
by Goodyear Aerospace in Arizona, was carried in the
removable nose section (which could be loaded with the
SLR antenna in the maintenance shop before installation
on the Blackbird). Original capabilities for the SR-71
included optical/infrared imagery systems, side-looking
radar (SLR), electronic intelligence (ELINT) gathering
systems, defensive systems (for countering missile and
airborne fighter threats) and recorders for SLR, ELINT
and maintenance data. Our nose flew over 2,200 mph and
over 80,000 feet hundreds of times. Touch and feel this
remarkable piece of aviation history.
