Plane Type: XB-70 Valkyrie
The XB-70 Valkyrie, one of the world's most exotic airplanes, was conceived for the Strategic Air Command in the 1950's as a high-altitude bomber that could fly three times the speed of sound (Mach 3). Because of fund limitations, only two were built, not as bombers, but as research aircraft for the advanced study of aerodynamics, propulsion and other subjects related to large supersonic aircraft.
