A 1960s coldwar supersonic strategic nuclear bomber, and holder of the record for the largest Experimental plane. It could fly at Mach 3.08 and achieve an altitude of 74,000 ft using it's 6 engines. When using the experimental fuel ethyl borane, one engine alone made more noise than any air-breathing engine in history.

By sonicbomb 1166969814 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveThank you for posting this. It is rare to see footage of this airplane. Personally, along with the F-8 Crusader, one of my favorites. Thank you!
By showtimte 1166491906 Reply Spam [+2] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveI have a lot of footage of the Valkyrie. It was a great plane for it's time, even thought they couldn't even keep the paint on it.
Another major reason for the cancellation of the XB-70 project was due to the advancement of Soviet anti-aircraft missiles, which it was then vulnerable to Soviet AA fire.
When it turns in the beginning of the movie, it looks like a dog :)
By RedHack 1166954803 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveReminds me of the plane from the movie Fireffox with Clint Eastwood.
By Inqbus220 1166940062 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveFirefox, not Fireffox. Atleast I got it right in the title :/
By Inqbus220 1166940156 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removelooks like similar as eurofighter typhoons.
By Djinni 1166896831 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removenice to see some video remains of this plane unfortunatly she was beaten by cost over runs and was to advanced for the flight systems of the time remember she was built many years before digital tecnology your home pc has more computing power than is in her entire flight and weapons contol systems .also one was lost in a mid air accident when one of its chase planes hit one of the tail fins hepling to kill of the program .
By shot gun12g 1166980475 Reply Spam [-1] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveThe chase plane was an X-15 (another experimental rocket wih wings) piloted by Joseph Walker.
By koinonia 1170658974 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveThe X-15 was never used as a chase plane for anything.
By MotorCitySarge 1191525629 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveThe x-15 was a rocket plane which was launched from a pod beneath the wing of a B-52 and flew to speeds in excess of mach 6. The XB-70 that crashed was struck by a F-104. You did have the pilot's name correct though.
