What Makes The Windshield Of An SR-71 Blackbird Jet So Special?
The SR-71 Blackbird is easily one of the world's most iconic aircraft. They first took to the skies in the 1960s, and by the turn of the century, they were retired. Nowadays, you can only find SR-71s in museums, though you couldn't exactly find them when they were in service, which was partly the point. The SR-71 was fast — so fast it set records that have yet to be broken. Speed like that makes it difficult to see and fire upon, and no SR-71 was ever shot down, making it a highly successful spy plane.

Obviously there are a great many differences between attack helicopters and fighter jets, but one of the distinct advantages jet pilots have over their helicopter-flying counterparts is the ability to eject from their aircraft when there's no hope of saving it.
