The XB-70 landing-gear system provides braking, directional control, and vertical- displacement damping during ground operations, shock absorption during landing, and deceleration after landing or for takeoff rejection.

The North American Aviation XB-70 Valkyrie is a retired prototype version of the planned B-70 nuclear-armed, deep-penetration supersonic strategic bomber for the United States Air Force Strategic Air Command.

2020年4月9日 · This is an animation I made with Lightwave 3d of the XB-70 Landing Gear sequence. I started it back in 2001 and finally made some modifications 19 years late...

The XB-70 had a tricycle-type landing gear which weighed more than six tons. The wheels, tires and brakes alone weighed two tons. Each main gear had four wheels and the nose gear had two.

2014年2月28日 · To achieve Mach 3 performance, the XB-70 was designed to “ride” its own shock wave, much as a surfer rides an ocean wave. The resulting shape used a delta wing on a slab-sided fuselage that contained the six jet engines that powered the aircraft. The outer wing panels were hinged.

In order to be compact and save space, the XB-70's main landing gear used a complex sequence of motions. From an extended point, the wheel assembly would first rotate 90 degrees (becoming perpendicular to the normal direction of travel).

The XB-70 is a large, high-performance, delta-wing airplane designed for cruise flight at Mach 3. A three-view drawing of the airplane in the landing configuration is

In general, the XB-70 pilots have reported that the overall handling qualities of both airplanes in the takeoff and landing regime are satisfactory without the aid of sta- bility augmentation. Trim changes associated with landing gear, wing-tip deflection, and flap maniplation under normal operating conditions have not been considered to be

The cockpit is provided with a basic floor, instrument panel, control yokes, center console, and the unique XB-70 escape capsule seats. Not much of any of that is likely to be visible, but you’ll know it’s there!
