Nerd power: SR-71 Blackbird
Its top speed and altitude still hold world records. Its fuel (which it also uses as a coolant and as hydraulic fluid) is so slippery that it leaks while it's on the ground. Built to spy on the Soviet Union, out of titanium bought from the Soviet Union.
SR-71, built by Kelly Johnson's Skunk Works team some 43 years ago.
