Todays Download of the day is this North American XB-70 Valkyrie for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004 and FS2002. This aircraft was shaped to fly at MACH 3 remaining within its Mach cone throughout the flight regime, using the shock waves beneath the wing to generate compression lift. The wing tips could be folded down 65° to increase this compression lift and also to provide greater directional stability. Unfortunately only two prototypes were built, and despite their exceptional performance, the XB-70 program had been cancelled after 130 missions, when an F-104 collided and destroyed the second prototype during a photo shoot. Even so, the XB-70 provided invaluable high-speed flight test data. This model includes a detailed virtual cockpit with lighted gauges, folding wing tips and variable nose cone, complex movement for gear retraction, and reflective textures.
