To survive the extreme heat generated by friction at Mach 3+, the aircraft required radical design solutions:

The Lockheed SR-71 "Blackbird" remains one of the most remarkable feats of aerospace engineering, designed during the Cold War to fly faster and higher than any other manned aircraft. Developed by the secretive Lockheed Skunk Works division, it served as a strategic reconnaissance platform for the USAF and NASA from 1964 until its final retirement in 1999. Key Performance Specifications LockheedSR71Blackbird.rar

: Fuselage panels were designed to fit loosely on the ground to allow for expansion during high-speed flight. This caused the aircraft to leak JP-7 fuel while stationary. To survive the extreme heat generated by friction

: The aircraft used its fuel as a heat sink to cool the air-conditioning system and internal components before the fuel was burned. Legacy and Successors Aircraft Report: Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird This caused the aircraft to leak JP-7 fuel while stationary
