Powered by two J58 engines, the SR-71 set a world altitude record of 85,069 ft and a world speed record of 2,193 mph in 1976. About this engine . This Pratt & Whitney J58 (civilian designation JT11D-20) was last flown in 1989, and was removed from the left hand position of SR-71 Serial number 61-7960. This engine accumulated only 1408 hours.

The Pratt & Whitney J58 (company designation JT11D-20) is an American jet engine that powered the Lockheed A-12, and subsequently the YF-12 and the SR-71 aircraft. It was an afterburning turbojet engine with a unique compressor bleed to the afterburner that gave increased thrust at high speeds.

This system uses Triethylborane (TEB) to ignite the fuel. The flash-resistant JP-7 fuel protects the SR-71 from the threat of inadvertent ignition as a result of the combination of high airframe and fuel temperatures during the hot portion of flight at high speed cruising.

The SR-71 aircraft (like its forerunners, the Lockheed A-12 and YF-12A prototype interceptor) is powered by two 34,000 lbf (151,240 N) thrust-class J58 afterburning turbojet engines. The J58 engine was developed in the late 1950s by Pratt & Whitney Aircraft Division of United Aircraft Corp. to meet a U.S. Navy requirement.
