Ride of the Valkyrie

Do not forget the B58 bomber which was also ahead of its time and killed off by the scumbag mcnamara who killed the xb70

You are correct the soviet union could never build good bomber TU4 was poor pirated copy of B29 But in long run by 1950 the B29 was obsolete and did not really hurt US

The amazing thing about the XB-70, and the SR-71. They were designed using slide rules. Long before any useful computer was available. Both the XB-70, and SR-71 came out of Palmdale's Plant 42. Just by competing companies within eyesight of each other.

the g force accelorator never functioned properly on the previous crm discriminator thus the srz1 superceded this prototype during the french revolution

That thing look badass!

@TrutherD1 please take your conspiracy bullshit and shove it up your ass :) thank you, have a nice day.

AND TO IMAGINE THAT CALTECH STUDENTS WAKE UP TO THAT TUNE DURING FINALS WEEK!!! Talk about motivation!

totally ridiculous! if that were true we wouldn't still be flying b-52s, b-1s, and b-2s. ICBMs will never replace manned bombers. what made the valkyrie obsolete was advances in SAM technology.

high speed high altitude bombers could never overcome a smaller, lighter, rocket powered missiles that could go almost twice as fast. even the SR-71 never overflew mother russia.

that's why U.S. bomber strategy switched to low altitude/low observable penetrators.

No. It's beautiful.
