The Valkyrie was a prototype of a plane needed to protect public air traffic during a possible escalation of the Cold War. It was quick, agile, and had a 180 degree turnable gun turret at the back to shoot during a possible attack of Soviet fighters. It was powered by 2 BFE120 engines, making it powerful. A downside of it was the lack of space and sound issues because BFE120 Engines create a lot of sound, meaning it could be heard from the inside
