*PLEASE! UPVOTE IT IF YOU LIKE IT HELPING ME TO REACH THE SILVER LEVEL!* The North American Aviation XB-70 Valkyrie is the prototype of the B-70 nuclear-armed, deep-penetration strategic bomber for the U.S. Air Force's Strategic Air Command. North American Aviation designed the Valkyrie bomber as a large, six-engined aircraft capable of reaching Mach 3+ while flying at 70,000 feet (21,000 m). At these speeds, it was expected that the B-70 would be almost immune to interceptor aircraft, the only effective weapon against bomber aircraft at the time. The bomber would spend only a few minutes over a particular radar station, flying out of its range before the controllers could position their fighters in a suitable location for an interception. Its high speed also made the aircraft difficult to see on the radar displays, and its high altitude flight could not be matched by any contemporary Soviet fighter. Use VTOL commands to raise up the wings, or to let them down to give high stabilty at high speeds. If you like it please leave a comment down below, and don't forget to check my other creations too! See ya ;P!

    This is much better than mine, but I think you put the front landing gear in the wrong place...

    @Liquidfox Hahaha I know it's an issue that appear because the aircraft is too big and fast for the physics of the game 😂😂
