Imagine reviving that design with modern engine technology.

Imagine reviving that design with modern engine technology.

  Designing building, flying and troubleshooting the XB-70 and similar experimental aircraft is what allowed us to develop "modern" engine technology and "modern" aircraft designs.

   Go back and read about the history of the Bell X-1. It was the first manned aircraft to fly faster than the speed of sound. Today faster than sound flights are routine.
