SQ Wings L2081 1/200 USAF North American XB-70 Valkerie

Designed as an experimental prototype for the B-70 supersonic intercontinental bomber, the XB-70A was first flown on September 21st, 1964.To avoid interception on deep-penetration missions, the aircraft was to be capable of Mach 3+ at an altitude of 70,000 feet. These requirements led to a massive, sleek-looking aircraft powered by six afterburning engines and employing an aerodynamic principle known as compression lift, whereby the aircraft effectively rode upon its own shock wave at supersonic speeds. Additionally, the large wing-tips could be folded down to enhance directional stabilty and compensate for the shifting center of lift at supersonic speeds.
