Browsing in the NASA technical reports I found a score of wind-tunnel tests regarding a supersonic cruise bomber that seems linked to some unknown B-70 follow on specification from late '50s (report is from 1961). Some photographic reproductions of the models are practically unviewable, but...
I woul like to know something about the kinfish proposal for a strategic recon aircraft (in the competition won by the lockheed a-12) and about the super hustler design.
Unfortunately the only information i foud are in Russian (quite strange for united states secret projects)...
Ok, I know that this plane figure in cover (and in detail!) in Tony buttler book, but I haven't got this book and need some details on this monster. Just performances, weight dimensions and a 3-view drawing would be cool.
In what context was this project developed ? Did the RAF seriously bite...

Gentlemen,
Is there anyone of you who haves ever seen illustrations of the
6-engined initial design for the XB-19 ?
(3-view or artists impression)
Thanks in advance..
Why to spend money in a development from zero if military designs can adapt?
Proposals for a SST based on the North American XB-70 Valkyrie (I cannot avoid to imagine to the boys of Green Peace in a MIG-31 with the colors of the rainbow trying him to give hunt to one of these apparatuses) ;D

The One thing that amazes me about this huge aircraft is...
