XB-70 Valkyrie

XB-70 ValkyrieThe North American XB 70 Valkyrie was a groundbreaking experimental supersonic bomber developed in the 1950s and 1960s as part of the U. S. Air Forces quest for a high altitude, Mach 3 capable strategic aircraft to outpace Cold War threats. Designed to fly at speeds over 2,000 mph and altitudes exceeding 70,000 feet, it featured advanced delta wings, six powerful General Electric YJ93 engines, and innovative materials like stainless steel honeycomb

The North American XB-70 Valkyrie was a groundbreaking experimental supersonic bomber developed in the 1950s and 1960s as part of the U.S. Air Force’s quest for a high-altitude, Mach 3-capable strategic aircraft to outpace Cold War threats.  Designed to fly at speeds over 2,000 mph and altitudes exceeding 70,000 feet, it featured advanced delta wings, six powerful General Electric YJ93 engines, and innovative materials like stainless steel honeycomb panels for heat resistance. 

Only two prototypes were built, with the program shifting from bomber development to research on supersonic flight after production was canceled due to evolving missile technology and costs.

In 2025, TransportTags was offered the opportunity to obtain material from the second prototype. This material is unique in that it was comprised of substantial pieces that were large and flat, perfect to create tags with. While other pieces exist in various collections, our larger, thicker flight test materials are one of a kind. Other XB-70 parts held by collectors are from the third aircraft that was never flown, making our authentic flight test material incredibly rare.
