You are incredibly dumb.I am not saying 737 is more advanced than SR71. But I am sure modern Airbus A380 is more advanced than SR-71 despite A380 is much slower than SR71.
Again Poll as "truth seeker"?
Why dont you answer my question. Let me repeat again:
Then look on how ARJ21 was struggling to reach FAA certificate in spite of numerous military aircraft that china has build including the 2.4 mach speed J-11B. Why?
Look on how many years China has to pospone release of Comac 919 in order to meet Stringet Safety standard, in spite of giant Y-20 or faster J-11 that China has master. Why?
Can now Russia build the same advanced, efficient, and safe but "slow" Airbus A380 that is compliant with the very stringent flight safety standard?

An SR-71 has to deal with shockwaves from passing the sound barrier.
At 100,000 feet, there is almost no air. The SR-71 needs special engines.
An Airbus 380 is just a fat civilian transport plane.
Many countries can build a civilian turbofan jet engine plane. To date, only one country has built the incredible SR-71 Mach 3 Blackbird. The SR-71 has a titanium fuselage. If you watch a documentary on the SR-71, you would realize how amazing it is. The SR-71 fuselage expands due to the enormous friction at Mach 3.
A stupid fat civilian transport plane has none of these technological challenges.

Let me see if I can explain it to you in terms that you understand.
An SR-71 is the equivalent of a Formula 1 racer (whose pistons cycle 15,000 revolutions per minute).
A family car tops out at 4,000 RPMs.
A Formula 1 race car is a marvel of engineering. A minivan is not.
