Fs2002-2004 north american xb-70 valkyrie this aircraft was shaped to fly at mach 3 remaining within its mach cone throughout the flight regime, using the shock waves beneath the wing to generate compression lift. The wing tips could be folded down 65° to increase this compression lift and also to provide greater directional stability. Unfortunately only two prototypes were built, and despite their exceptional performance, the xb-70 program had been cancelled after 130 missions, when an f-104 collided and destroyed the second prototype during a photo shoot. Even so, the b-70 provided invaluable high-speed flight test data. This model includes a detailed virtual cockpit with lighted gauges, folding wing tips and variable nose cone, complex movement for gear retraction, and reflective textures. Gauges and sounds are included in package. Author : massimo altieri.
