North American XB-70A Mach 3+ model

50.4k Stingray  9.1 years ago

The XB-70A, built by the North American Aviation (NAA) company in 1964. Launched st the Palmdale USAF Plant 42, this Mach 3+ is the heaviest (542,000 lbs) aircfraft ever tested and successfull to reach Mach 3. The XB-70's main tecnical contribution was to produce a "compression lift" by creating a unique forward shock wave. OKAY: Simple SP launch on Tarpleys or Murhpys fields -- -MUST HIT ACT =1 to takeoff! Enjoy the fast ride of this 1960's model desugn!

Note : this SG model exceeds 3,000+ mph at 100,000 feet. Courtesy of SP aero ?"physics", Great game!

    @thatguy407 Most SP models pitch UP or Down above 500 mph. The Canards + tail pitch make adjustments easy in level flight.

    only problem is when in flight it tends to pitch up a bit too much

    @Nickasaurus Thanks! I made sure this one actually surpasses 2,300 mph. Remember, ACT=1 Afterburners.
