About The Tech Race between the SR-71 Black Bird and The MiG-25 (& More!) | Before 2000

Speed is part of our DNA, and in the ’80s and ’90, the race to go faster kicked into overdrive. Stronger and lighter materials pushed machines to new limits. But we weren’t just upgrading wheels or wings, we were applying technological advances to the human body. From the record-breaking land vehicles to deadly military helicopters, and from skydiving, to mountain bikes built for ripping down ski slopes, this era redefined what was possible on land, sea and in the sky – setting the stage for even greater boundaries that would be broken beyond 2000.
