SR-71 Blackbird Titanium Skin Sample
This metal fragment is a piece of the titanium skin of an SR-71 Blackbird stealth aircraft. This supersonic plane holds the record for fastest airplane ever flown.
The mangled wreckage presented here was recovered from the impact site of a crashed SR-71 in the West Texas desert. The colors of oxidizing titanium, the sheared edges, and the scuffed black paint are evidence of the fiery crash.
We have cut the source specimen down into smaller pieces which come in a clear, acrylic display box with certificate of authenticity.
Due to the imperfect nature of the source, no two cut pieces will be identical. We have made every effort to maintain consistent sizing and quality. You may not receive the cut pieces in the images, but similar pieces cut from the same sheet pictured.
