the USAF rnt using that aircraft as it never reached operation - its called the XB-70 Valkyrie - it was designed as a supersonic bomber:

'The XB-70, one of the world's most exotic airplanes, was conceived for the Strategic Air Command in the 1950s 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. The Valkyrie was built largely of stainless-steel honeycomb sandwich panels and titanium. It was designed to make use of a phenomenon called "compression lift," achieved when the shock wave generated by the airplane flying at supersonic speeds supports part of the airplane's weight. For improved stability at supersonic speeds, the Valkyrie could droop its wingtips as much as 65 degrees. '

Thank you for the pic and for the welcome to NeoWin :D

somethin I've always found funny is people trying to take pictures of the F-117 Nighthawk at airshows using auto-focus...

[baphomet_irl Veteran]

np man

tbh i wouldnt waste my film on the Nighthawk eheh

i FAR prefer the B-2 :)

i dunno i jus dont like the look of the F-117 - i liked the mock-up models and sketches that were made of what ppl thought it would look like before it was unveiled - they were cool :)

Make that a ProView or some off-brand like that...

[Thecoz]

[shied]

i can see it thats about as good as it gets with this thing, every time i reboot my comp or just turn the monitor off for a while, the display resets and i gotta spend 10 minutes getting it right again. Lots of fun :D
