First day's research done at Wright Patt.
Fun things:
1.) The F-108 had a zoom climb capability of 100kft plus.
2.) The estimated PKill for a trio of FALCON missiles fired was around 0.8 or 0.9 on a subsonic bomber -- this assumed PERFECT missile reliability. :lol:
3.) They had separate SACs and CSes for each of the three projected XB-70s ; AV-1, AV-2 and AV-3 due to all the differences. I also got the SACs for the projected B-70A version, CS for the YB-70, and SAC for XB-70B. :twisted:
Here's one page from one of the B-70A SACs.
Note the optimal combat speed of 1,700~ kts at 80,000+ ft. :twisted:
4.) The mighty Falcon could manouver at 40+ Gs below 10k feet, but at 70k, it can only manage a mere 4-5 Gs.
5.) Behold the mighty SUPER SCORPION:
