XB-70 Valkyrie & B-58 Hustler Bomber Aviation Art Print
- 11" x 14" Print Size
Designed and constructed during the "Cold War", the Valkyrie first flew in 1964. The
United States issued a requirement for a heavy bomber capable of cruising at Mach 3 with range enough to reach the USSR to deliver a nuclear weapon. Rapid progress of intercontinental ballistic missile programs soon negated the role for which the Valkyrie was intended and the program was cancelled. Two prototypes were constructed however; the number two ship was lost in a tragic accident in 1966 when a chase plane collided with it during a test flight. The first airplane continued to fly with NASA until her retirement in 1969 and is now on display at the National Museum of the US Air Force near Dayton, OH. Both aircraft were utilized for testing by NASA. With the crash of the No 2 ship, the remaining Valkyrie continued flight testing with NASA exploring sonic booms and control of structural dynamics. The Valkyrie was often accompanied on flights by a TB-58A (the trainer version of the B-58 Huster) chase plane. Both aircraft were capable of very high speeds. With only two XB-70 Valkyries built and eight TB-58A Hustlers, these two aircraft are rare birds indeed.
