Lockheed Martin Skunk Works, developer of the Mach 3 SR-71 Blackbird, has agreed to sponsor the Nemesis racing aircraft (foreground). Lockheed Martin describes the 520lb (235kg), all-composite Nemisis as "the most successful race aircraft in history", with 41 consecutive International Formula One wins and 14 world records. Team Nemesis, which includes seven Skunk Works employees led by pilot/owner Jon Sharp, is now developing the next generation Nemesis NXT.
