flying a purpose-built pressurized high-altitude glider higher than any other manned wing-borne aircraft has ever flown in sustained flight

The estimated maximum altitude the SR-71 has flown is 85,000 feet but some sources say that the SR-71 can fly up to 100,000 feet and can probably go even higher.
