The Avro Arrow was even more advanced. However, Canada scrapped it for unknown reasons (maybe US pressure??).

How was it more advanced? SR 71 was faster coming in at mach 3.2 @ 85000 feet. Avro arrow was around mach 2 at 50000 feet. Im not trying to be a cunt, Im just asking.

It's first flight was 1958. 5 years prior. So if development would have continued it would have absolutely dwarfed the SR 71 in height/speeds.
